Why Europe is different

Why does link building in Europe need a local approach?

Because Europe is not one market. Google ranks each country on links from sites in its own language and on its own country domain, so an English link barely helps you in Germany, France or Poland. You need native-written placements on local sites in every market you target.

Most brands start with English links and a translated site, then wonder why they rank in the UK but not in Germany, Spain or Sweden. Each European market has its own publishers, editors and search terms.

Compare the options

How do I choose a link building agency?

An agency is the fastest safe route when you need links in several European languages at once. In-house only works if you already have native speakers and editor contacts in each country.

How we earn links

Our link building strategies

Google and AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity both rely on what trusted sites say about you. Each of our four strategies earns those signals: links that lift your rankings, and mentions that get your brand named in AI answers.

01

Guest posts & thought leadership articles

Articles on the sites AI tools read, so your brand and expertise appear in their sources, with a link to the pages you want to rank.

02

Digital PR

Coverage on news and trade media, the sources AI answers cite most often, plus high-authority links.

03

Brand mentions & AI citations

Your brand named, with consistent facts, on the comparison and list pages ChatGPT, Gemini and AI Overviews pull from.

04

Linkable assets & tools (content seeding)

Data studies, guides and free tools that AI tools quote and other sites link to, long after launch.

Audit and gap analysis

FAQs

How does link building in Europe work?

We build links country by country. For each market you get a list of local sites with real traffic, native writers create the articles, and we place each link by hand once you approve the site.

What link building strategies do you use?

We use four: guest posts and thought leadership articles, digital PR, brand mentions and AI citations, and linkable assets that we seed to relevant sites. Together they earn links that lift your Google rankings and mentions that get your brand named in AI answers from ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity.

How much does link building in Europe cost?

From €3,000 per month. The price depends on how many countries and languages you need, how competitive your keywords are and the quality of the sites. You get the exact price in your proposal.

Do English links help me rank in other European countries?

Only a little. Google ranks each country mostly on links from sites in its own language and on its own domain, such as .de or .fr. For rankings in Germany or France you need German or French links.

Which European countries do you cover?

32 countries across DACH, Western Europe, the Nordics and Eastern Europe, from Germany, France and Spain to Sweden, Poland and the Baltics.

Can you run several European markets in one programme?

Yes. You get one plan, one strategist and one monthly report, with a site list and native writer for each country.

Do I approve every link?

Yes. Nothing is pitched until you approve the site list for that month and that country.

Which sites will my links be on?

Real, editorially run sites with organic traffic in each country and topic, such as regional news, trade press and niche blogs. You see and approve every site first.

How do you report on progress?

Once a month, with every live URL per country, its anchor text, the site metrics and the plan for the next month.

Is your link building white hat?

Yes. We only use manual outreach and native-written content. We never use PBNs, link farms or paid-link marketplaces.

Will my links stay live?

We monitor every link. If one is removed within 12 months, we replace it with one of equal quality, free of charge.
