Long Term Local Link Building

[Oliver Keates]

Does anyone have any resources/ideas for long term local link building for small/medium sized businesses?

 

[Phil Rozek]

@Oliver Keates, yes, many. Here is one:

HARO outreach isn't a fit for every client, and you probably won't get a lot of links for any given client (more like a trickle). But it does work if you practice the suggestions in that post long-term (as in you shouldn't try it for a month, not see results, and conclude it doesn't work). Good back-burner activity.

The most important tip on that list: "1. Reply within the first 10 minutes of getting the HARO email. When I started sending in pitches fast, my success rate improved significantly." And I would change it to 5 minutes.

Thanks. Is HARO suitable for UK businesses?
