      Hey there! Here are some basic principles to follow...

      Step 1: Add a blog to your site

      Step 2: Publish articles about relevant, industry related topics that your readers will find valuable

      Step 3: Share your article(s) on social media outlets

      Step 4: Perform outreach

      Here is a great article on the topic from Neil Patel. Read up, read it again and then get to work!

      This should get you moving in the right direction. Hope this helps!

        Yep, what Bryan said. I've also had a lot of luck with guest posting for other reputable sites that are willing to give me a dofollow link. In fact, guest posting has given me the best ROI on my SEO efforts so far. It's required a fairly significant time commitment, but other than that it's been free. I'm happy to share more on what's worked for me if you like.

          Hey DLG, thanks!

          I'd love to hear more about what has worked for you in regards to guest posting. Please do tell 😃

            Sure, happy to share! I'm definitely not an SEO expert by any means, but this worked for me. For the past 2 months the only link building I've done has been through guest posting. When I started, my site showed upon in Google organic results on page 5 for one of my main key words. As of 2 days ago, I now show up at the very bottom of page 1 for the same key word.

            I got started just by researching reputable sites on Google and checking their DA using to Moz toolbar. I contacted any sites that I liked and asked if they accept guest submissions. A lot weren't interested, but enough said yes. I spent a good amount of time on this, and on writing articles, but it's been worth it. My content isn't anything amazing, but it's relevant and publishable. I probably only have about 5 articles published with sites that have a DA of higher than 50 (I think the highest DA is 82), but it's already made a huge difference over the past 2 months. As soon as my site got on page 1 (2 days ago), I've been getting significantly more calls from potential new clients.

            Another thing that's really helped me get new clients is the local results on Google. I now show up in the top 3 local results for the same key word I was talking about. I started having clients leave Google reviews (which I hadn't done in the past) and I immediately noticed my position climb in the local results.

            So I haven't really done anything fancy. I've just spent the time to make contacts and write articles, but it's definitely been the best ROI for time I've spent on SEO so far. Now I have some good contacts that are will to accept regular submissions, so I'm definitely going to keep at it!

              I love it, thats awesome!!

              Sounds like a great strategy and all you have to do now is rinse/repeat. Seems to me like you are becoming quite the expert, but I respect your humbleness. I know a good amount of self-proclaimed "SEO Experts" who've been in the business for years that can't think outside the box enough to pull off what you are doing.

              Great work DLG, cheers!!

                I always find a press release tool can be handy - So long as you have something relevant to discuss within you're niche

                  Thanks Bryan! As of this morning, I'm now the very first listing in the organic results for my targeted key word!

                    Hey James!

                    The typical form of press releases being spun across a network of PR sites is a dark path. Over the years Google has implemented several algorithmic changes to discount these links.

                    Before going this route be sure to read up on Google's link scheme guidelines. Would hate to see you (or anyone for that matter) caught up being penalized. Consider Press Release links as "Nofollow" and be sure not to use multiple links with keyword optimized anchor text to avoid any penalties.

                    We stopped using press releases 10+ years ago and have focused our efforts in other areas of value.

                    Press releases that are sourced from the press side is where you'll get the most value. Those are difficult to acquire but they are the best source for links & referrals. Hope this helps! Cheers James!

                      Sorry Bryan - I probably should have clarified my response

                      I wouldn't touch press release websites with someone else's barge pole. I was referring to press release tools that give you access to journalist/bloggers lists - You have to earn your brand mention/link with content that they want to write about about and link to.

                        Yes, in that case, that is be a much better approach! Thanks for clearing that up. Cheers!
