Making backlink building easier

A friend and I are currently working on a new platform where users get link swap proposals based on their sites' niches and SEO stats. We are at MVP-stage and looking for people who want to try it out and give feedback. And this might be just the right place to speak with people who care about such things!

The backstory:

If you are a crafty marketer, you will have sent or seen any of the following:

  • A cold email asking for an article to be linked
  • "I have a DR 65 in the [niche]. Hit me up if you want to collaborate."
  • "I will get you high-quality backlinks. No PBN. $50 per DR 50."

When we discovered this SEO part, we immediately thought "this sucks." It is tedious and annoying – and time-consuming. And it burns social capital, not to mention email deliverability.

How it works:

We thought that there would be a much more efficient way to accomplish the same by matching people that (1) want to collaborate, and (2) have sites that fit well together.

Our platform automates the process by taking into account various factors that people generally look for when swapping links: Domain rating/authority, traffic, niche, spam score. Our system matches sites with those that have the highest fit based on all of these factors.

Where we are:

We don't have a frontend yet since we are still in the process of validating our initial assumptions. The core functionality ("You got a match!") is delivered via email. The service is free for anyone to use since we did not want to worry about payments and all the other annoying business stuff until we have a reliable product in place.

If our assumptions hold, we will gradually expand and add more in-app functionality such as chat, link tracking, and possibly a marketplace – depending on what users need!

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...
