SEO Link Building Specialist (Contextual, Editorial Placements Only)
Budget: $100,000 – $0 USD
About the Project
I run a niche B2B website focused on liquor store POS systems. We’ve built a deep, intent-driven content cluster including comparisons, feature guides, and cost breakdowns that already align well with how liquor store owners evaluate POS solutions.
What we do not have yet is enough authority.
I’m looking to outsource high-quality, contextual editorial link placement directly into these existing cluster pages.
This is not generic guest posting, DR chasing, homepage PR, or bulk link building.
What I’m Looking For
I’m looking for an SEO specialist who can:
• Identify existing, relevant pages that already rank for topics such as:
o POS systems
o Retail software
o Liquor / alcohol retail
o Inventory management
• Secure editorial link placements inside existing content (list insertions, “recommended tools,” comparisons, resources, etc.)
• Place links directly to specific cluster pages, not just the homepage
• Pitch editors in a way that improves their article, not spam outreach
You should be comfortable with:
• Ahrefs and/or Semrush
• Prospecting real ranking pages (not just “sites”)
• Outreach that results in live placements, not just replies
Compensation & Editorial Placements
I understand that many high-quality editorial placements require compensating the site owner or editor for their time.
I am comfortable paying reasonable editorial fees when:
• The placement is on a relevant, existing page
• The page has real topical authority or rankings
• The link is contextual and permanent
• I approve the page and placement before outreach
• Payment happens after the link is live
I am not interested in bulk packages or private networks, but I am realistic about how quality placements actually work.
What I Am Not Looking For (Important)
Please DO NOT apply if your approach relies on:
• Mass guest posting
• PBNs or private networks
• Fiverr-style link packages
• DR-only metrics
• HARO or digital PR blasts
• Homepage-only links
If you can’t clearly explain where the link will appear and why it belongs there, this is not a fit.
Scope & Expectations
• I want to approve target pages before outreach
• I want to approve placements before payment
• All links must be:
o Contextual (in-content)
o On topic-relevant pages
o Indexed
• Anchor text must be natural and varied
I’m happy to start with:
• A paid trial (2–3 placements)
• Then scale if it works
How Payment Works
I strongly prefer per-placement pricing, not monthly retainers.
Please include in your proposal:
• Typical cost per placement
• Example URLs where you’ve placed links before
• How you source opportunities
• How you avoid low-quality or irrelevant placements
Bonus (Not Required, but Ideal)
• Experience with B2B SaaS or POS / payments niches
• Experience working with content clusters
• Willingness to say “no” to bad links
If we decide to contact you, please answer all of these questions in our chat ASAP.
1. Describe your exact process for finding pages to place links on.
2. Do you charge per placement or per month? Why?
3. What does a “good” link mean to you beyond DR?
4. Can you share 1–2 live links you’ve placed inside existing articles?
Final note
If your approach prioritizes relevance, editorial fit, and long-term authority over volume, this will be a great fit.
EDIT:
I’m only interested in editorial insertions on existing ranking pages. Bulk link packages or guest post networks won’t be considered.
