I want to run a strictly link-building campaign aimed at driving more traffic to my site. My priority is backlinks from high-authority news sites; that’s where I see the greatest potential lift in referral visits and organic rankings. I already maintain a small internal list of possible outlets and a handful of local business directories, but I’m open to your own curated targets to round things out. Scope of work • Identify and vet suitable news-site prospects with strong domain authority. • Craft and place contextual, white-hat links that comply with Google guidelines—no PBNs or spam. • Supplement the outreach with a balanced mix of reputable local directories from both my list and your recommendations. Deliverables 1. Prospect sheet with metrics (DA/DR, traffic estimates, editorial contact). 2. Live link report: URL, anchor text, placement date, and authority metrics. 3. Brief summary of outreach performed and next-step suggestions. All links must be do-follow unless editorial policy prevents it; no site-wide or sidebar links. Provide weekly status updates so I can track progress and adjust targets as needed.
