What are Backlinks?

Backlinks, also known as inbound links, are links one website gets from another website. Typically, the websites are similar or connected in some way (similar content, industry, or goals) and the backlinks are beneficial to both parties.

Backlinks make a big impact on a website’s prominence and overall performance in search engine results. In fact, implementing a backlink strategy can be an important part of search engine optimization (SEO). Because search engines calculate a site’s ranking using a number of different factors, it is important to utilize all resources when trying to help your site rank higher on Google or other search engine results pages (SERP).

Of course, how much a backlink matters really depends on the backlink you’ve secured, your industry, the nature of your content, and how much of a reach your content has. However, the bottom line when it comes to backlinks is that they are very important and should definitely be part of your marketing strategy no matter what.

Why are Backlinks Important for SEO?

The best way to think about backlinks is as a type of building block. Backlinks directed towards your website are important because they lead to good SEO, which leads to more visibility and the possibility of better business.

If a website has a lot of backlinks, it is usually a good indicator that the site itself is popular or important with search engines – or both. If a site has a large number of backlinks, the typical search engine (think Google), will give more credibility to it because it seems more relevant than sites with little to no backlinks.

Of course, you must be careful about just adding backlinks for the sake of having them. While backlinks are important and indicate popularity, throwing in backlinks that aren’t relevant or even connected to your content can become pointless and gratuitous. Like a keyword strategy, you want to be intentional about the backlinks you procure and the websites you’re connecting with.

How fast can I expect results?

Most clients see performance stabilize by month three. Google Ads isn’t a slot machine—it takes time to compound.

Do you require long-term contracts?

No. We work month-to-month. All we ask is that you give us three months to prove the results.

Do you only run Google Ads?

While Google Ads is our entry point, we also support LinkedIn Ads, Reddit, and X campaigns when needed.

What’s included in your CRO audit, and what’s expected from our side?

The CRO audit covers your landing pages, CTAs, forms, and overall user flow. We’ll flag what’s holding back conversions and recommend fixes. If changes require design or dev resources, we’ll hand over clear action steps for your team, so you know exactly what to adjust.

How do you work with internal teams?

We integrate directly. Whether it’s syncing with your PMM on messaging, your design team on creative assets, or RevOps on tracking, we plug into existing workflows so we’re aligned and moving fast.

How do you handle Google rep recommendations that don’t fit our goals?

As an ex-Googler, I know which recommendations are useful, and which are just there to hit Google’s internal targets. We’ll filter their advice for you, implementing only what actually helps us hit revenue goals.

What changes in your approach to ads in B2B vs. B2C?

For B2B, I focus on lead quality, longer sales cycles, and nurturing conversions across the funnel. For B2C, speed and volume matter more, so I optimize for quick wins and scalable growth. Either way, the playbook adapts to your model.

What do your weekly reports include, and how do you define “good” vs. “scalable”?

Weekly reports show spend, conversions, CPL/CPA, and how we’re tracking against projections. “Good” means campaigns are meeting efficiency targets. “Scalable” means we can push budget and expect the same or better efficiency without breaking ROI.
