Why choose Digital Cornerstone as your link building service provider?
Experience
With over 11 years of experience in link building, content marketing and strategic planning, all focused on organic search via Google, we understand what it takes to drive meaningful traffic to a website, and there isn’t too much we haven’t seen just from optimising my own projects.
Honesty
Most website owners will have been on the receiving end of some very bad advice from SEO consultants, link builders and agencies at some point in their SEO journey, we know what it’s like to be told things that an SEO consultant wants you to hear, rather than telling you things that you need to hear.
Therefore, Digital Cornerstone make it a priority to give you an honest answer to every question you have with regard to the link building.
Link building process
The process

Objectives
Every link building project starts with your goals and objectives, so we discuss your ambitions, timeframe and budget so that we can base our decisions on your actual needs.
Backlink analysis and audit
Without a thorough analysis of your link profile, we’ll be effectively starting with one hand tied behind our backs. So we audit your backlink profile from head to toe.
Starting a link building campaign
Then the fun really begins. We set out a link building workflow that we work to over the defined timeframe and skyrocket your rankings and revenue.
Link building services with a data-driven approach
Link building is about gathering information, so we approach it through data-driven analysis, and by utilising market-leading software. The internet is full of service providers whose tools and software are OK up to a point, but struggle to paint a full picture of what’s required to compete within competitive niches.
That’s why the software we deploy allows us to gain all of the relevant data needed to rank highly in the SERPs and leave no stone unturned.
The types of links we build as your link building agency
There are a number of ways to build links, some of which work better than others, therefore I specialise in just three types of link building, as they’re by far and away the best and most scaleable forms of gaining quality links and building an authority site that ranks highly in the SERPs.
The types of links we build
|
Guest posting
Content marketing most definitely still has a place in a good link-building strategy. But the types of sites any links get built on need to be studied carefully before they get placed.
Therefore, your links are built on relevant sites with good trust factors as well as professionally written content (by us). The relevant links are also blended into the content creation so they’re as natural as possible and don’t look spammy.
Buy guest posts
Niche edits
I also reach out to relevant sites that have existing and aged content that’s relevant to your niche and negotiate a placement link back to yours.
These types of links are an excellent way to gain traction due to the fact the page they’re being placed on will already be indexed by Google and will potentially already have some traffic going to it.
They often come in the form of broken links that are pointing to a site that is no longer live.
Buy niche edits
Link building agency packages
I do offer linkbuilding packages to website owners who like the idea of buying a number of links every month for a set fee. However, every linkbuilding package is priced on the following criteria:
- Your competition
- Your current backlink profile
- Your long-term goals
When all of these three aspects have been assessed I can present you a bespoke monthly linkbuilding package or monthly link building service with a cost that will be tailored to your specific needs. I do not simply ask for a £2000 per month budget and build links ad-hock, because this approach will leave your results lacking and you wondering what’s going on.
I care about your website, it’s rankings and the links I build, so I will only offer packages to suit your needs, and my aim is to offer you the best link building services in the UK.

PR campaigns
Done correctly PR can land some of the biggest and most powerful links on the web, but to do this you need linkable assets that editors and journalists will want to use. Therefore I study statistics and information that provides insight and data that will grab the content creator’s attention. I then reach out to relevant journalists and pitch them the insights.
These four types of link building are by far and away the best and most scaleable forms of gaining quality links and building an authority site that ranks highly in the SERPs and puts you in from of your target audience.

Multi-point check of all websites we look to gain links from
Digital Cornerstone’s SEO services focus on quality at all times, and when it comes to link-building, this is especially true!
All Websites that we see as a good fit for your site undergo a strict manual review to make sure that they meet our standards. For example, here are some of the things I make sure the linking site will not be or will not have:
- Manual outreach is used at all times
- They will not be built for anything other than producing good content and or isn’t looked after by it’s owner
- The links built will not be from a PBN (private blog network)
- Our sites will not be found on reseller lists or link farms
- Links from hacked Websites
- Links will not be built from sites that offer “write for us” services. These are worthless
- All sites must pass technical checks such as making sure the owner hasn’t added an X-robots tag to the HTTP header
What you will get from us as your link building consultant:
- Links from sites that have a decent monthly traffic volume
- Links from relevant Websites within your niche
- Links built from the body content itself, because these are easily the most powerful links
Do I need backlinks in an AI world?
As I'm sure you're aware already, SEO and AI are evolving at a mind-bending pace and it's now incredibly easy to mass-produce content at scale and build out topical maps and silos around any given topic.
So, this begs the question, if it's now this easy to create content at scale and flood the web with large amounts of additional pages, how are Google's algorithms going to decide which pages deserve to rank at the top of the SERPs?
Especially as it will cost Google an absolute fortune to crawl and index all of these extra URLs.
The answer is backlinks!
Backlinks and domain authority will be the deciding factor as to whether or not a page or site ranks within most niches. They always have been one of the most important aspects of SEO, and they always will be.
Therefore, you must hire the right link building company or link building agency and make sure, for example, any blogger outreach meets strict criteria and the link building tactics that are deployed are not black hat.
Using the right link building techniques should be core to your SEO strategy and digital marketing in general, especially if you operate an eCommerce store.
Is link building is an ongoing SEO task?
Linkbuilding is like online reputation management and should never be seen as a one-time task that you can forget about when you're ranking highly. Links disappear over time, for various reasons. For example, website owners might shut down their site or remove the page that was linking to you so it's important to view link building as an ongoing SEO task.
You also should assume that your competitors will be looking to take back the positions they've lost and that they too will be looking at link building as part of their strategy. An SEO audit will highlight all of these potential problems.
What are backlinks & why do I need a backlink service provider?
At it's core, link building is the bedrock of the internet, not just ranking in Google. It's the number one way to increase the visibility (higher rankings) of your pages and website as a whole so that you gain traffic from search engines.
You need link building for one simple reason. When it's done correctly you will gain more customers without having to rely on paid advertising.
Why buy link building services?
There are many good reasons for hiring a link building agency, but the main two are:
- The right agency or service will create a link building strategy that will unearth all of your backlink profile shortfalls and deliver expertise and knowledge that will pay for itself for years to come.
- It's highly likely your competitors will have already hired a link building service to try and give them the edge by getting to your customers before you do.
Should I hire a link building company or do it myself?
In some instances, it can be a good idea to build links yourself. This will be true you have the time and a limited budget. However, doing it yourself can often be a false economy because you won't see any meaningful results for a much longer time period and if you don't know what you're doing, you run the risk of damaging your website's visibility for a long time.
By using the right link building service you eliminate the risk and rank quicker, meaning you generate more revenue and profit faster.
How long will I need to work with you as our link building agency?
Unfortunately, there is no hard and fast rule here because it will depend on the strength of the competition and how well optimised your website is, to begin with.
Generally speaking, though most link building strategies require a 3 to 12-month timeframe.
Do you offer link building for local SEO?
Digital Cornerstone's link building and SEO services are for any type of business in the UK, be those small companies that have a local audience or a large eCommerce company with a website that offers thousands of products. Our services are the same for all.
I'm dedicated to delivering success to your business no matter how big or small your site.
And if you happen to be in Southampton, I'll be more than happy to visit and talk through your SEO problems.
Do you do link building to Amazon listings & products?
Yes.
Many successful eCommerce ventures are based around the Amazon platform but have you considered forcing Google into displaying your Amazon listings high up in the SERPS, and not just within the Amazon organic top spots?
Amazon carries an incredible amount of trust and authority and with a little link building, I can drive searchers on Google directly to your product pages on Amazon. This will increase your profit in two ways. Firstly, more targeted traffic from Google equals greater sales and turnover through being exposed to a new set of people looking for your product(s), and secondly, by generating more sales, Amazon's algorithm will promote you more/higher within it's own internal organic spaces which will also lead to greater turnover.
Why is your link building service more expensive than other agencies?
We pride ourselves on building quality links from established and trusted websites. Suppose a link building service is charging you a monthly package fee of £500 or under for what they class as good quality links. In that case, it's safe to assume that they're putting your site and livelihood at risk by building links from spam/junk sites or hacking websites so they can inject links without the website owner knowing, which is illegal (obviously).
How long does it take to build the links?
We generally work to a 3-4 week turnaround for each order. Link building and SEO are about building relationships with Website owners, which takes time. Again, be wary of marketing agencies or link providers that are offering super fast turnaround times because their link building strategy is almost certainly built around guest posts and niche edits on PBNs.
Who writes the content for the guest posts?
Our own content writers create the articles and/or infographics for any guest posts that are placed on other websites.
Does Digital Cornerstone link building agency work in all niches?
No. we do not work in the adult, gambling, pharma, or payday loan niches, and never will.
