Website design by... links. Worth it?

[jamesm5i]

Hi all,

Agency SEO here. Finally getting around to doing some work on our own site and had a thought. Any agency SEOs out there including "Website design by xyz" links in client website footers? (Only with client permission, of course.) We have a solid variety of clients and have tons of web work for them. Any agency SEOs want to speak to this?

Any thoughts appreciated.

Hi James,

I am not sure if I read your question clearly, but as I understood you are asking if there any benefit of putting the branded link in the footer of client's website.

Of course if you will write something like "Powered by SEOLancer" where SEOlancer will be the link then you might get a positive impact on your Domain Authority. But if your write "Power by SEO agency - SEOLancer" then you also ger a chance to increase your rankings for keyword "SEO".

That's my thoughts

Cheers,

Russel

Hi James,

I agree with Ruslan. While a footer link value is low, it is still an authentic link and an opportunity to associate anchor text with the target page. Such links can help diversify your link profile and offer association with various locations.
