A Link Building Agency That Earns Links Instead Of Buying Them

No. Paid placements only count for ranking when they break Google’s rules, and Google’s recent spam updates treat that at the domain level. We earn links through coverage, data, reclamation, and listings, and we remove bought ones we find. If you want links by the dozen at a price per link, we are the wrong agency and we will say so on the first call.

We do not promise a number, because a number is what link sellers promise and it drives the tactics at the bottom of the ladder. We report referring domains gained, their relevance, and the mentions reclaimed. Some months a single piece of coverage is worth more than thirty directory listings.

Digital PR earns coverage from journalists and editors with a story, a study, or a spokesperson, and the links come with the coverage. Link building is the wider field that also covers reclamation, listings, and outreach. Digital PR is the part that scales authority fastest and costs the most per campaign.

Written for a site’s readers, in small numbers, on sites that cover your subject, yes. Written for the link and placed on sites that exist to host them, no. Google’s own staff have said those carry nothing, and the spam updates target the sites that sell them.

Only the ones that are a real risk: networks, bought placements, and redirects from expired domains, especially if someone bought them for you. Google devalues most junk on its own, and an over eager disavow file can remove links that were helping. We write the file with the reasoning beside each domain.

Longer than most agencies admit. Coverage has to be earned, then crawled, then weighed against everything else on the site. Reclamation and listings move fastest; digital PR moves in campaigns. We report referring domains and mentions first, then the rankings on the pages they point at.

The market prices per link, by retainer, or by campaign. Per link pricing is the cheapest and the riskiest, because it pays for volume. A digital PR campaign costs more and earns links that survive. Our fee is separate and follows the model in the pricing section.

One from a site that covers your subject, that a real reader might click, and that sits where it helps them. It would exist whether or not you asked. Relevance and editorial judgment count more than any authority score, and the score is the easiest thing for a seller to fake.

Yes, for Google’s rankings, which still run the AI features. But mentions without links now correlate with AI visibility more than backlinks do, so the work has widened. We earn both from the same coverage and report them side by side with our AI search program.

Yes. Chambers, local press, sponsorships, associations, and the city directories that rank are the safest links a local business can earn. They double as citations for the map pack. The local SEO page covers that side.

You do. The studies, the guides, the press list, the disavow file, and every report sit under your business. We work through access you can remove at any time. If we part ways, you keep everything, including the outreach records and the coverage.

Yes. Komplex is based in Austin with a presence in New York City and Reykjavik, and outreach happens wherever the editors are. A company with press in several countries gets a target list per market, in the language the editors there read.
