Link Building (DR50+)
Editorial link placements on relevance-vetted publications with Domain Rating 50 or above, billed per live link so you pay for results, not hours of outreach.
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.
The authority half of this category: links earned through outreach rather than bought, priced per live placement as described on the Expertise page.
When link building is the right spend
Pages that deserve to rank and are held back by a thin backlink profile rather than by their quality.
Categories where every competitor has strong content and links are what separates the results.
Original data, a genuine expert, or a defensible view. Outreach works far better when there is real substance behind it.

Why HL Digital
The unit is a live link. Prospecting and outreach that comes to nothing is our cost to carry, not yours.
Sites are checked for relevance, real readership and link-network signals before anyone is contacted.
URL, anchor text and destination for every placement, so the work can be verified rather than believed.
