I work for a company that manages websites for several hundred small businesses. We do a good job with on-site optimization but don't do any link building for our clients.
Occasionally, clients are in desperate need of links and ask us for recommendations. I've had a tough time finding a balance between quality consultants and affordable prices. I understand that link building campaigns, in general, carry a hefty price tag, but of our clients can't afford any of the big name agencies.
We've also had a few of our clients get burned recently by bad link building and I don't want to point them in the wrong direction.
Does anyone have any recommendations for companies or freelance consultants that do good work without breaking the bank?
Thanks!
Tim
