Local Link Building

Local link building with proof, not DA packages

We build links by source type, not by a number from a tool. Every placement is named, live and indexable, otherwise it does not count. The price is fixed before we start.

“We do not sell authority scores. We deliver named sources you can open and verify yourself.”

How the work runs

Look first, vet second, list third. In that order.

  1. 01

    Stocktaking

    We look at where your business is already listed and where the name, address and phone details drift apart. Contradictions cost visibility before a single new listing is added.

  2. 02

    Source vetting

    Every candidate runs through the same grid we published on How we vet every link source: legal notice, topical fit, anchor patterns, subscription clauses. Whatever fails does not get a listing.

  3. 03

    Listing and proof

    For each placement you get the URL, the date and the anchor text used. After that we keep checking for six months whether the listing still stands.

The tiers, sorted by source type

Graded by the kind of source, not by an authority score. The citation base is a one-off, the ongoing work runs monthly.

Our verification pledge While the package runs, we check every placement for 6 months. If a link disappears, we follow up once. We do not guarantee rankings. Google decides those. For the one-off citation base the same pledge applies from the day of delivery. The identical wording is on our pricing page.
All prices are final prices without separate VAT, bytebrise uses the small business rule under §19 UStG. The add-on price of 390 € a month requires a running SEO retainer. Without one, the same work costs 690 € a month. Anything beyond the agreed scope comes to you as a separate quote beforehand, never afterwards on the invoice.

What we do not do

Part of this job is leaving things alone. These points are not up for negotiation here:

  • No bought links. We pay nobody for a link and we buy no packages with a fixed link count.
  • No private blog networks. Sites that exist only to link out never make our list.
  • No cold email outreach. We approach editors and associations with a genuine topical connection. No bulk mail to a purchased address list.

How a source is judged before we contact anyone is published on How we vet every link source. And if somebody else wants to sell you a package, the backlink offer check walks through 12 criteria and tells you where you stand.

Why there is not a single DA figure on this page

Domain authority, domain rating and similar values come from tool vendors. Google publishes no such number. They are estimates, and they can be pushed up deliberately. That is what link networks live on: a package with a high score says nothing about whether the site has real readers.

We at bytebrise measured this for our own region. Across six web design providers around us, 75 domains linked to at least two of them. 68 of those carried clear link farm markers: names shaped like “seodirectory” or “rankdirectory”, conspicuous spam scores, and the same clusters of linking sites over and over. A lead built that way lasts until the next Google update.

So we sort by source type instead. What matters: is the source plausible for your trade and your area, does it have a legal notice, and is the link still there half a year later.

Paid links have to be marked under Google's guidelines, for example with rel="sponsored". If the marking is missing and the link is clearly meant to move rankings, Google can issue a manual action. That hits the whole domain, not just the single link.

Directory listings, association memberships and editorial articles fall outside that, as long as no money changes hands for the link itself. A membership fee paid to an association is a different thing from a payment for a link. Where the line runs in a specific case, we tell you beforehand and not afterwards.

Frequently asked questions

Why no DA packages?

Domain authority is a metric from tool vendors, not from Google. It can be inflated on purpose, and that is exactly what link networks live on. We sort by source type and name every placement, so you can judge it yourself.

What counts as a verified placement?

A listing or article that is live, that Google is allowed to index, and that you can open yourself. You get the URL, the date and the anchor text. A promise by email does not count, and neither does a listing behind a login.

What happens if a link disappears again?

We check every placement for 6 months. If a link disappears, we follow up once. If the other side stands by their decision, we tell you plainly. We do not guarantee a replacement, because we do not publish the other site.

Can you promise a guest post?

No. We provide the topic proposal, the coordination and the finished text. The editorial team decides whether it gets published, not us. That is why the regional & association tier lists one pitch per quarter, not a fixed number of publications.

Which tier fits your website?

Tell us your trade and your area. We answer within one working day and say honestly whether the citation base is already enough or whether the ongoing tier pays off for you.
