Overview

Editorial placements, priced per live link

This is outreach-based link building on publications with a Domain Rating of 50 or above. You are billed per link that goes live, which is deliberate: it means the cost is tied to the result rather than to hours of prospecting that may not land. Domain Rating is a third-party metric from Ahrefs, not a Google measurement, and we use it as a filter rather than a promise.

Prospecting comes first. We build a list of publications that are relevant to your subject, genuinely read, and not part of an obvious link-selling network. Relevance is weighted above the raw metric, because a link from a respected site in your industry is worth more than a stronger link from a general site that has never covered your topic. Every prospect is checked by hand before outreach begins.

Outreach is then made with something worth publishing: a comment on a story an editor is already working on, a piece of data you hold, or a resource that genuinely fits a page they maintain. This takes time and it does not always succeed, which is the honest reason this work is priced the way it is and why placements arrive across a month rather than to a fixed date. You receive a report of every live link with the URL, the anchor text and the page it points to.

Who it is for

When link building is the right spend

Sites with good content and no authority

Pages that deserve to rank and are held back by a thin backlink profile rather than by their quality.

Competitive commercial terms

Categories where every competitor has strong content and links are what separates the results.

Businesses with something to say

Original data, a genuine expert, or a defensible view. Outreach works far better when there is real substance behind it.

Why HL Digital

Why per-link pricing is the fair structure

You pay for placements, not effort

The unit is a live link. Prospecting and outreach that comes to nothing is our cost to carry, not yours.

Every prospect vetted by hand

Sites are checked for relevance, real readership and link-network signals before anyone is contacted.

A full report of what went live

URL, anchor text and destination for every placement, so the work can be verified rather than believed.

FAQs

Common questions

Are these paid placements?
The intention is editorial placement earned through outreach. Some publications charge a fee or require a sponsored disclosure, and where that arises we will tell you before proceeding rather than presenting it as editorial.
How many links can we buy per month?
Order the number of units you want and we will confirm what is realistically achievable in a month for your sector. Narrow or heavily regulated niches yield fewer prospects and we would rather say so up front.
What if a link is removed later?
Publishers occasionally restructure or remove pages, and no one controls that. Tell us if a reported link disappears within a reasonable window and we will look at replacing it.
Can we choose the anchor text?
You can state a preference and we will aim for it, but the publisher has final say over their own copy. An over-optimised anchor profile is a risk in itself, so natural variation is usually the better outcome anyway.
Is this against Google's guidelines?
Earning links by giving publications something worth covering is not. Buying links to pass ranking signals is, explicitly. We work on the first basis and will decline requests that amount to the second.
How quickly will we see an effect?
Placements arrive across the month, and links take further time to be crawled and to carry weight. Link building is a slow, cumulative investment, and anyone promising quick movement is describing something else.
