FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Link Building

Answers to the most common questions from our clients

Absolutely yes. Backlinks remain one of the three most important ranking factors for Google (along with content and RankBrain). However, quality has become fundamental: a single link from an authoritative Italian site like Corriere.it or Sole24Ore is worth more than hundreds of spam links. Google has refined its algorithms to distinguish natural links from artificial manipulation.

The first improvements in ranking are typically visible after 2-3 months from acquiring the first quality links, once Google has discovered and processed them. For significant and lasting results (top 3 positions for competitive keywords), we recommend a continuous strategy of at least 6-12 months. Link building is a marathon, not a sprint.

We use exclusively white-hat methods approved by Google guidelines: digital PR, content marketing, guest posting on legitimate journalistic publications, and outreach based on real relationships. Each site is manually analyzed for: Domain Authority 30+, verified organic traffic, absence of Google penalties, thematic relevance and original content. We categorically avoid PBNs, spam directories, obvious paid links and manipulative schemes.

We focus on organic editorial links from: Italian journalistic publications (Corriere, Repubblica, local publications), industry blogs with real audiences, specialized vertical magazines, universities and .edu institutions, trade associations and professional orders, and spontaneous mentions obtained through digital PR. Every link is contextual, thematically relevant and brings value to the reader.

Our packages start from €1,500/month for targeted campaigns with 4-6 quality tier 2-3 links, up to €5,000+/month for enterprise strategies with 15+ links from premium tier 1 publishers. The cost reflects the lasting value of authentic editorial links: in-depth research, original content creation, personalized outreach and genuine relationships require time and expertise. Beware of services that promise "100 links for €500": they're almost certainly spam that will damage your site.

Yes. If within 12 months of acquisition, a link we built is removed for reasons beyond your control (site closure, content removal), we commit to replacing it free of charge with a link of equal or greater value. We constantly monitor all links to ensure they remain active and of quality.

Outreach Process and Deliverables

Our link building process begins with an audit of your existing backlink profile using Ahrefs and Majestic to identify toxic anchors for disavow and opportunities for reinforcement. We build a prospect list of 200-500 Italian domains for each monthly campaign, filtered by Domain Rating above 30, verified organic traffic and topical consistency with your industry. Each link is acquired through personalized outreach in native Italian, digital PR with outlets like Corriere della Sera and Repubblica for enterprise clients, editorial guest posting on vertical blogs and brand mention conversion. The monthly deliverable is a detailed report with source URL, anchor text, DR, estimated traffic, publication date, screenshot and live link verified after 30 and 90 days to guarantee persistence, plus a competitor gap follow-up.

Timelines, KPIs and Safety

A professional link building campaign in Rome typically acquires 6-15 high-quality editorial backlinks per month, with timelines of 45-90 days from first outreach to publication. Tangible SEO results in terms of ranking improvements arrive between month four and month six, when Google consolidates the new trust signal. The KPIs we track are: monthly Domain Rating growth, increase in unique referring domains, organic traffic growth on target pages, ranking movements on competitive keywords and volume of unlinked brand mentions converted. We apply white-hat practices compliant with Google Search Essentials, avoid PBN networks and link farms, and diversify anchors across brand, URL, generic and partial keyword to maintain a natural and sustainable long-term profile, with quarterly disavow reviews when needed.
