Real placements, real results
A look at one long-running campaign — built entirely through manual outreach, no PBNs, no automation.
Growing organic visibility for a SaaS invoicing & accounting platform
Working as the dedicated link builder on this account since February 2024, I ran ongoing manual outreach to build editorial backlinks across the invoicing, payroll, and small-business software space — targeting blogs, resource hubs, and niche publications relevant to the client’s core product pages.
Every placement below is a live, earned editorial link — no directories, no paid link networks, no PBNs.
