Is there any harm in getting backlinks to a site that's "coming soon"?

I am going to launch a second website, under my real name, on a topic that I'm an actual expert in. Right now I have a have a "Coming Soon" notice (in a pretty design that is relevant to the topic of the it - it's not just black text on a white background!) on the site's homepage with links to the active social media accounts. I have a lot of content ready to go (at least 20,000 words, including two or three posts per category) but I need a little more time to play with the design of the site - I have a week off work in mid-March and I'm planning to use that week to get the design to a place where I feel comfortable "launching". Is there any danger in using HARO or other similar sites to get some backlinks to my homepage over the next month? I understand that some journalists might not want to use my contribution because the site isn't live yet, but for the ones who are open to saying, "Hannah from the soon-to-be-launched site XYZ Expert says...", is it kosher to build some of these links in the thirty days pre-launch?

Legit Reviews

The google review thing is insane I have gotten 2 legit verified reviews that i ask client to screenshot and observe goolge not post them, pretend like they never happened and when i sent them the image a policy message was sent . As I was browsing through the google forum a lot of ppl are getting hit with legit reviews being removed. While all this is going on i have observe a company go from 12 reviews to 65 reviews in a two month period with some stuff that dont make sense on some of them. Seems like a new business or profile is being limited while aged accounts can have a free for fall but who really knows. Still waiting for a resolution on a if any. submitted by /u/Ok-Bowl-6167 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/zkbfgDH

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

7 SEO Lessons I've Learned in 2025 (So Far) - From Building a Competitor Analysis Tool

Hey r/SEO , I've been spending a lot of time lately building a competitor keyword research tool (more on that below!), and it's really forced me to dig deep into how SEO works today . Here are some of the key lessons I've learned – hopefully, they're helpful to you too: Keyword Gaps Are Gold: It's not enough to just know what keywords your competitors rank for. You need to know what they rank for that you don't . This is where the real opportunities lie. Focusing on these "gap" keywords has been a game-changer for my own site. (This is actually why I built the tool – to make finding these gaps easier). Relevance > Volume (Sometimes): High search volume is great, but relevance is even more important. A keyword with 100 searches per month that's perfectly aligned with your niche and audience is often more valuable than a keyword with 10,000 searches that's only tangentially related. I've seen much better results targeting tho...
