Fast Off Site SEO Work?

Once on site optimization is done, the only thing you can do to improve your rankings is to get good quality backlinks.  Which takes time and effort.

However, we build websites for several thousand clients and don't do any link building, but clients are wanting 'something to be done' so they rank #1.  I tell them to optimize social media profiles, advertise their website address, press release, etc.

Am I right in that there is no fast, easy way to get good quality, on theme, links to their websites?

I think this site is a good "quick and dirty" way to build some links:  http://knowem.com/

Not all profile pages are going to be followed, but some will.

Focus on building your clients great content and you can achieve fast quality links, other than that there is no one single way to build good quality links fast.

Also, what is "fast" in your book? A week? A month?

Well, they are dealership sites and the content is vehicle inventory.  So not real unique great content there.   Building links fast would be anything faster than doing it by hand!
