Links to your website remain one of the most important ranking factors that Google and other search engines use. Quality links from sites with high domain authority can boost your ranking positions, organic traffic and trust.
Good links act as a trust signal and a vote of confidence in your website and its content to Google. A healthy link profile can be one of the best ways to boost your organic visibility, but search engines are better than ever at distinguishing good links from bad ones. This has made some of the old link-building strategies obsolete.
At 71a, we have the expertise to get valuable website links from quality sources, including international, national, trade, and local press. This not only helps search engines recognise your website as a trusted authority but also drives targeted traffic and enhances brand recognition.

Link building is the process of getting hyperlinks that link from other websites to the content on your site.
Building links is essential for all brands that have an online presence. When other websites link back to your website, it signals to search engines like Google that your brand is trustworthy and credible, which can improve your website's visibility and ranking in search results.
Backlinks should come from relevant websites to ensure their effectiveness. If the links appear spammy or irrelevant, there is a risk of being penalised by search engines, therefore, it's crucial to approach link-building strategies carefully and ensure the quality and relevance of the links you acquire.
We focus on getting valuable links from respected websites from within your sector and beyond. By leveraging newsjacking, we can drive highly visible mentions and quality links to your site from top news publications.
Link building remains one of the most powerful strategies for ranking highly on search engines, and we’ve seen it work for our clients. Although Google has been tight-lipped about exactly what you need to do to rank well, we know they’ve named links as one of the top three most important ranking factors.
We'll walk you through the different approaches you can take to building links, helping you to earn top-ranking positions and advise what you need to avoid to ensure your links aren’t harming your visibility.
