White-hat link acquisition and editorial outreach: we earn your domain backlinks from relevant, trusted websites that strengthen your rankings for the long term.
Link building is the part of off-page SEO that focuses on one thing: earning backlinks that build domain authority. In competitive markets you need a deliberate link building strategy to be visible. Good backlinks help your Google rankings, and they also make you more credible to AI systems, because LLMs such as ChatGPT and Perplexity favor sources with high domain authority and trust.
According to the Ahrefs study (December 2023) of around 14 billion pages, 96.55% of all pages get no traffic from Google. The study names missing backlinks as one of the main reasons. AI search systems such as Perplexity reinforce this: they prefer to cite sources with a strong backlink profile.
Links from websites in your field strengthen the authority of your domain. According to the same Ahrefs study, pages with more referring domains rank for more keywords.
One link from a respected Swiss publication in your field does more than many links from spam sites. That is why we judge every single link by its quality, not by volume.
Four building blocks for a strong backlink profile and steady ranking growth.
Targeted outreach to journalists and editors to earn natural backlinks from editorial articles, press coverage and expert quotes.
We create linkable assets such as studies, infographics, tools and data analyses as part of strong SEO content, so other sites link to them naturally.
We win back lost links and use broken links on competitor pages. This is one of the most efficient link building tactics.
Targeted backlinks from Swiss directories, industry associations, chambers of commerce and regional media strengthen your local SEO and build local authority.
Strategic link building pays off for any company that wants to be visible in a competitive market. These industries benefit most:
Complex buyer journeys need authority in B2B SEO. Strategic backlinks position you as a trusted leader in your industry.
Strong backlinks raise domain authority and help product pages reach page 1 in competitive markets.
High CPCs make organic visibility especially valuable. Backlinks from finance portals strengthen E-E-A-T signals.
In regulated industries, trust is what counts. Quality backlinks from specialist portals are decisive for YMYL authority.
Travel backlinks from portals, blogs and media increase visibility for hotels, destinations and experience providers.
Local and national backlinks improve visibility for location-based searches and real estate portals.
Google sees websites with quality backlinks as more trustworthy and relevant. When leading portals in your industry link to your content, your rankings rise, and AI systems cite you more often.
With our white-hat link building strategy we build backlinks from relevant, authoritative sources. No spam links, but real recommendations from other websites.
The result: higher domain authority, better rankings and more trust from Google and AI search engines.
AI search engines such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity use the web as their source. Without strong SEO there is no GEO. SEO is the foundation, and GEO builds on it.
ChatGPT and Gemini use indexed web pages as a knowledge source. Without SEO rankings, you are invisible to AI.
AI systems prefer trustworthy sources. Strong SEO authority is the key to AI citations.
If you combine both, you lead the Google rankings and get recommended as an expert in AI answers.
Current starting prices are listed on the pricing page. The cost depends on your industry, the competition and the number of links you need. Good backlinks from relevant Swiss websites take manual outreach work, and that is reflected in the price.
First ranking improvements usually show after 4–12 weeks. Link building is a long-term strategy: the full effect builds over 6–12 months, because Google evaluates new links gradually and the effect grows with every additional quality backlink.
White-hat link building uses legitimate methods such as content marketing, editorial outreach and genuine relationships to earn natural backlinks. Black-hat methods such as PBNs, bought links or spam violate Google’s guidelines and can lead to penalties. SEOX works with white-hat methods only.
We measure success by domain authority (DA/DR), the number and quality of new referring domains, organic rankings, organic traffic and the development of your backlink profile. Monthly reports show every KPI.
Yes. According to an Ahrefs study (December 2023) of around 14 billion pages, 96.55% of all pages get no traffic from Google, and the study names missing backlinks as one of the main reasons. Good content is the foundation, but without links from other websites Google lacks the signal that your content is trustworthy and relevant. AI systems such as ChatGPT and Gemini also favor sources with high domain authority when they answer questions, so strong backlinks matter for generative engine optimization (GEO) as well.
Only if manipulative methods are used. SEOX relies on Google-compliant strategies that hold up over time: real outreach contacts, relevant guest articles and natural link acquisition. If you have old bought links in your profile, the guide How to audit and clean up your link profile shows how to deal with them.
We analyze your backlink profile for free and show you how strategic link building gets you better rankings.
AI systems use backlink profiles as a trust signal. Websites with strong authority are cited more often as a source in generated answers.
Large language models weigh domain authority when they choose sources. A strong backlink profile increases the chance of being cited in AI answers.
Perplexity and similar AI search systems show source links. Websites with a strong backlink profile are preferred as citable sources.
Models also count mentions that are not linked at all. That work is not part of link building; it belongs to GEO & LLMO.
