      Hello,

      I need to make sure I understand this correctly.

      Will it help my SEO if I:

      • find local businesses with a good DA & low spam score

      • select businesses that are somehow related to mine (Insurance Agency)

      • offer to guest post and include a backlink on their blog ( ask them if they'd like to reciprocate)

      For example, businesses such as
      Roofing companies
      Contractors
      moving companies
      etc

      Please let me know if there's anything I'm missing? Many thanks

        Backlinks from companies local to your area will also dramatically enhance your SEO, not to mention your trust factor, especially in the Dubai market. As an web development company in Dubai, you can collaborate with other local businesses by working for them and asking to include a backlink in return. Joining local directories may also work, or maybe sponsoring events that will link your website development company. These local backlinks improve the visibility of your site but also build trust with the potential clients showing connections within the community and as a reputable website development company in Dubai.

            Your approach sounds solid! Targeting local businesses with good DA and low spam scores, especially those related to your industry, and offering guest posts with backlinks is a smart SEO strategy. Just ensure the content is relevant and valuable for their audience. You might also consider diversifying your backlink profile with other methods like directories or local sponsorships. you can also checkout Husky official website to analyze how they build quality backlinks.

              Yes, your strategy looks solid! Partnering with local businesses that have good Domain Authority (DA) and low spam scores will help your SEO. Focus on related businesses (like financial advisors or mortgage brokers) for more relevant backlinks. Offering guest posts with a backlink is a great idea, and while reciprocal links can work, use them sparingly to avoid overdoing it. Building genuine partnerships in your industry will be key to improving your rankings.

                SEO can significantly boost your logistics business by improving online visibility and attracting potential clients searching for logistics services, supply chain solutions, or freight forwarding. With the right SEO strategy, including targeted keywords, backlinks, and optimized content, you can rank higher on search engines, leading to more traffic, quality leads, and ultimately more business. Investing in SEO helps you stay competitive, reach local and global markets, and build trust with customers through increased online presence.

                    @gooday2day Another thing to consider is focusing on high-quality content for those guest posts. It'll resonate more with their audience if you can offer valuable insights, like how your insurance works alongside mortgage brokers or real estate agent's offerings. By the way, good thinking about resource smoothing; it is a smart way to keep everything manageable. It is found to affect performance positively. Back to the main topic, when doing outreach, make sure to build genuine relationships with these businesses - they're more likely to collaborate again in the future if the first experience goes well. That long-term connection can lead to even more backlink opportunities.

                      You're totally on the right track - guest posting on local businesses' blogs is the right way to score backlinks. And yes, aiming for good DA and low spam score is key. But here's the twist: think about the kind of businesses whose audience might actually be shopping for insurance.
                      Roofing companies and contractors are solid, but you might also want to cozy up to real estate agents, mortgage brokers, or even financial planners. If you think about it, their clients are more likely to be in that “I-need-insurance” mindset.

                      Now, I know this whole SEO/backlinking thing can feel overwhelming, to say the least (yep, been there). There's actually a great piece here on Moz's blog that can shed some more light on the topic. And also there are a couple of ways to go about it as far as I know.

                      If you're planning to handle it in-house, you’ll need a solid team with experience. Just keep in mind that you will probably need to implement some resource smoothing when a lot of people are managing a project. I picked up the idea of this strategy a couple of years ago and it helps me balance workloads by finding the most important tasks that need to be done and spreading them out over time to avoid crunches.

                      For example, instead of overwhelming your team with content creation and backlinks (with outreach) at once, you prioritize key steps and make sure they’re spaced out. That way you meet all the deadlines without anyone getting burned out.

                      And hey, if all this SEO work starts to feel like too much, find a solid agency that gets your industry. Just make sure they know their stuff, and don’t be afraid to ask for case studies to see how they've performed for businesses like yours.

                        @unusualagencyYour strategy is spot on! Here’s a quick recap and some additional tips:

                        Local businesses with good DA & low spam score: Absolutely a good move, as reputable sites pass stronger SEO value.

                        Relevant businesses: Prioritize those more closely aligned with your industry, like financial advisors or real estate agencies, but including complementary businesses like contractors or roofing companies still works well for broader exposure.

                        Guest posts with backlinks: Make sure the content is relevant and valuable, and that backlink placements are natural to maintain credibility.

                        Reciprocal links: Be careful not to overdo it. Focus on quality relationships to avoid any search engine penalties.

                        Additional tips:

                        Diversify backlinks: Reach out to industry-specific blogs, media, and other authoritative sources.
                        Monitor regularly: Keep an eye on your backlinks to maintain quality.
                        If you need further guidance, feel free to ask!

                          Yes, your approach will help your SEO if done correctly. Here's a breakdown:

                          Find Local Businesses with Good DA & Low Spam Scores: A strong domain authority (DA) and low spam score increase the chances of getting quality backlinks.

                          Select Related Businesses: Businesses like roofing, contractors, and moving companies make sense as they cater to homeowners, who are potential insurance clients. Ensure there's a logical connection.

                          Guest Posting with Backlinks: Offering guest posts with backlinks is an effective strategy. Make sure the content is relevant, high-quality, and adds value.

                          Reciprocal Backlinks: Offering reciprocal links is fine, but don't overdo it, as excessive link exchanges can appear manipulative to search engines.

                          Consider adding content diversity (e.g., infographics, case studies) and monitoring link quality to maximize SEO benefits.

Reciprocal linking, where they also link back to your site, can further improve authority if done with caution to avoid over-linking.

                              Backlinks from local businesses can greatly boost your local SEO efforts. When businesses in your area link to your site, it signals to search engines that your site is relevant to that location. For example, if your business is based in Mumbai and other local businesses or directories link to you, it can enhance your authority in local search results. Building relationships with nearby businesses and being listed in local directories can effectively increase your visibility in local searches.

                                Your strategy is solid! Getting backlinks from relevant local businesses with good DA and low spam scores will help your SEO. Just ensure the businesses are somewhat related to yours, and the content adds value to their audience. Focus on quality over quantity, use natural anchor text, and aim for genuine connections rather than forced link exchanges.

                                    Yes, you're on the right track,
                                    but there are a few things to consider:

                                    1) Relevance matters most
                                    While high DA and low spam score are important, the relevance of the website to your business is critical. Try to target businesses more closely related to insurance (e.g., financial services, real estate).

                                    2 Guest post quality:
                                    Ensure your guest posts provide value to their audience and are not just focused on getting a backlink. This boosts your credibility and SEO impact.

                                    3 Avoid reciprocal linking:
                                    Google may view excessive reciprocal linking as manipulative. It’s fine occasionally but avoid overdoing it.

                                    Hope this will help you. Thank You

                                          @laurentjb Yes, targeting local businesses with high DA and low spam scores can improve your SEO. Choosing related industries (like roofing or moving companies) adds relevance. Offering guest posts with backlinks and requesting reciprocal links is effective. Just ensure your content is high-quality and monitor the impact on your SEO.

                                            @laurentjb Hi!

                                            In my experience:

                                            • Find real local businesses that topically overlap with your business.
                                            • I wouldn't focus on DA or "spam scores."
                                            • Instead of offering to guest post, I might find ways to do content marketing collaborations.
                                            • Careful with the reciprocal linking (Excessive link exchanges are viewed a spam).

                                            If you struggle finding businesses that topically overlap, I've found that just focusing on geographic relevance can be sufficient.

                                            Find ways to collaborate with other local business leaders.

                                              Yes, It will definitely affect your ranking, all these things are better for local seo, I recommend you to use local keywords variation. I tell you again keyword variation not direct use keywords. I personally do this I ranked most of my pages on top. Like, if you have 1000 words of content then make sure you use keywords variation in top 25% content, then in another 50% of content mix your 4-5 keywords and use them and in last 25% content use deirect keywords, it will help you.

                                                  @laurentjb Hello,

                                                  Your approach seems solid, and it can indeed help your SEO if done correctly.

                                                  Here's a quick breakdown:

                                                  1. Finding local businesses with good DA & low spam score:Yes, focusing on websites with high domain authority (DA) and low spam scores is a great strategy. These factors indicate that the site is reputable and can pass valuable link equity to your site.

                                                  2. Selecting businesses related to yours: It's important to focus on businesses that are contextually relevant to your niche. While industries like roofing, contracting, and moving are somewhat related, you might want to prioritize those that are more closely aligned with your industry. For example, financial advisors, mortgage brokers, or real estate agencies might be more relevant.

                                                  3. Offering guest posts with backlinks: Guest posting is a well-established method for building backlinks. Just ensure that the content you provide is high-quality and genuinely useful to their audience. Also, make sure the backlink placement feels natural.

                                                  4. Reciprocal links: While exchanging backlinks can be beneficial, be cautious. If done excessively or unnaturally, it might raise red flags with search engines. Aim for genuine relationships and focus on quality over quantity.

                                                  Additional Tips:

                                                  • Diversify your backlink profile: Don't rely solely on local businesses. Consider reaching out to industry blogs, news sites, and other authoritative platforms.
                                                  • Monitor your backlinks: Regularly check the quality of backlinks to ensure they maintain their value over time.

                                                  Let me know if you have any more questions!

                                                  Many thanks.

                                                    How does indexing backlinks affect SEO and search engine rankings?

                                                    backlinks

                                                    Indexing backlinks plays a crucial role in the overall SEO strategy and search engine rankings. When search engines like Google crawl and index a website, they also consider the quality and relevance of the backlinks pointing to that site. Here's why indexing backlinks is important: Visibility in Search Results: Indexing ensures that search engines recognize and attribute value to the backlinks you have acquired. When indexed, these backlinks contribute to the overall link profile of your website and can positively impact your visibility in search results. Faster Indexation: By submitting your backlinks for indexing, you can speed up the process of search engines discovering and recognizing those links. This helps search engines recognize the relevance and authority of your website sooner. Enhanced Crawling and Ranking: Indexing allows search engines to crawl and evaluate the backlinks pointing to your site. These backlinks are considered as signals of trust and authority, which can influence your search engine rankings. Improved Domain Authority: When high-quality backlinks pointing to your site are indexed, they contribute to your website's Domain Authority (DA). A higher DA indicates a more authoritative and reputable website, which can positively impact your rankings and organic search visibility. Competitive Advantage: Indexing your backlinks gives you a competitive edge by ensuring that the value and authority of those links are properly recognized and taken into account by search engines. This can help you outrank competitors who may have unindexed or low-quality backlinks. It's important to note that not all backlinks may require manual indexing, as search engines can discover and index them naturally. However, for specific or newly acquired backlinks that may not be indexed quickly, manual submission or using indexing services can help ensure they are recognized by search engines and contribute to your overall SEO efforts.

                                                    I read some old (10+ years) information on whether footer backlinks from the websites that design agencies build are seen as spammy and potentially cause a negative effect. We have over 150 websites that we have built over the last few years, all with sitewide footer backlinks back to our homepage (designed and managed by COMPANY NAME). Semrush flags some of the links as potential spammy links. What are the current thoughts on this type of footer backlink? Are we better to have 1 dofollow backlink and the rest of the website nofollow from each domain?

                                                    Hi all, My understanding of obtaining backlinks by way of blogpost outreach is that it's best to include several outbound links to related high domain websites within blog post copy (as well as a link to the website you're marketing, obviously) such as this post https://www.scoopearth.com/why-should-you-use-royalty-free-music-for-youtube-videos/ or this one https://small-bizsense.com/how-to-create-quality-content-for-your-business/. However, I've recently read a few articles that suggest that from a human perspective only having one clear link in the copy, such as this post https://www.clichemag.com/entertainment/movies/the-benefits-of-royalty-free-cinematic-music-for-your-videos/, increases the chance of the reader visiting the site in question. I guess the thinking is that if there's only one link to be clicked on it increases the chances of click-thru, as opposed to the reader possibly clicking on another external link that's only there because of current SEO advice. So is it best to follow SEO guidelines and include several outbound links within guest blog posts, or is it better to only have the one link to your client's site (to focus the readers attention on it)?

                                                    backlinks link building

                                                    I've done a lot of searching on this subject, but I keep seeing conflicting answers. Are backlinks from foreign language websites valuable? For example, a travel website in English picks up a couple backlinks in Indonesian language (and other languages) from foreign sites that have a DA of 60-70 or higher. The topic is partially related, but the language is totally different. Would those links still be valuable for the English website's DA? Has this ever been answered conclusively? Thanks

                                                    Backlink Transparency with SEO Agency

                                                    Hello everyone. I recently started working with an SEO agency and today they gave me an updated keyword report which showed some increase in rankings. I was not aware that any backlinks had been created yet so I asked for a report of the links. Their response is below and I am just wondering if this is normal practice being I have not worked with any type of SEO agency yet. "
                                                    Hey Daniel, We release a small report on them which the guest blog team will do soon. We don't reveal all backlink sources unfortunately because people have tried to bother the webmasters we have and basically steal our techniques. But rest assured you will be ranking at the top of the pack with our methods 😃

                                                    Backlinks through dofollow commenting

                                                    I'm interested in building backlinks to my photography business site by leaving good, engaging comments on other photographers' DoFollow blogs. Is this a good idea? Is it worth the effort? Through a little research, I've managed to locate more than 40 dofollow photographer blogs that have a domain authority of 35+. The idea is to take an hour or so a week to leave 10-20 comments on their blog posts. Would you consider this a good strategy? I rank on the first and second page of most of my keywords that I'm working on, but I want to rank 1st or 2nd on them.  I used the keyword finder tool on google adwords to find the keywords that are the most searched for in my area. Surprisingly the competition is not large, so I'm fairly comfident I can get there. I've already optimized my site substantially and I'm looking into link building. Thoughts?
