What is Outsource Link Building?
Outsource link building is an arrangement where an SEO agency subcontracts a link building agency to develop a link acquisition strategy and deliver backlinks to their client’s websites.
The goal is to ensure consistency of link deliverables to complement the technical and on-page SEO side of activities of the agency’s in-house SEO specialists.
Enlisting the help of outsourced link building agencies is a great way to keep costs and risks down while maintaining and growing your client base.

Why Outsource Link Building?
Scale link acquisition.
Scalability is a foremost concern of SEO agencies. Given that they’re working for different types of clients (startup, enterprise, eCommerce, etc..) in various industries (e.g., health, SaaS, tech), it is pretty challenging to develop their link building processes that can consistently deliver links on their own. That said, outsourcing link building to an agency or consultant who can scale it so you can focus on growing your agency business would be a better option.
Improves rankings to priority pages.
We assume your SEO teams know the priority pages in your SEO campaign. These pages drive the highest conversions to your SEO client, either the highest ticket (for services) or specific product pages that generate the most sales. These become our destination pages when building links to clients. The best thing about outsourcing link acquisition is you get prioritization on certain pages and measure their search ranking and organic traffic performance.
Eliminate financial, utility, and staffing costs.
You save on office space and utility costs and eliminate all financial and legal risks of hiring staff. This gives you more leverage in building your SEO operations and doing marketing to get more SEO leads. Outsourcing link building at friendly rates is an intelligent decision to save on growing your current staff operations—no need to hire more.
Get faster SEO results.
Most agency founders, when asked how long SEO gets results for a website? You’ll find that most of them will answer, “It depends”. That is a conservative answer, but it won’t entice clients to invest in SEO services. That said, if you have a reliable link building partner to work with you and implement better link building strategies to target the most critical client pages, your SEO campaign will have a higher likelihood of success in a shorter timeline. Yes, you can’t guarantee rankings, but providing better and faster results is a win-win for your agency business.

Outsource Link Building Service FAQs
What is your primary strategy for link building, and how does it differentiate from other link building agencies?
We initially assess the site’s link profile against the industry competition, whether you want to maintain rankings for head (seed) keywords or capture a bigger market by targeting other niche-relevant keywords.
From there, we conduct a link gap analysis to determine how many links we build to catch up on the first ranking page in Google’s SERPs. This will be a top consideration in developing a link building strategy that focuses on acquiring links and helping your priority pages rank and drive organic sales to your business.
How do you ensure the quality of the backlinks? Are they from high-authority and relevant websites?
SharpRocket’s link building team meticulously source, quality, and prioritize link opportunities from websites that pass our link metrics, including topical relevance, Ahrefs’ Domain Rating 30+, SEMRush estimated organic traffic of 1,000+, and not associated with any Private Blog Networks (PBNs) or content farms.
The best thing about our outsource link building service is our approval phase. We allow our clients (SEO managers/SEO specialists) to pre-approve domains before we do initial email outreach. This gives them full confidence in websites we’ll be acquiring links from, as opposed to giving you (as our client) live links from sites you don’t see in the first place.
Do you strictly adhere to white-hat SEO techniques? Can you provide examples of the types of links you would build for my website?
We only build contextual links that get clicks (using descriptive anchor texts) and drive referral traffic to the site. Backlinks we acquire aren’t simply for search engine rankings but to build strong brand visibility for your website.
As we associate your site with relevant entities that matter in your space, you start to build a topical authority (off-site), allowing you to sustain rankings and get an early advantage of ranking for new blog content days after they are published.
How often will I receive reports on the link-building progress? What metrics will be included in the report?
We provide monthly reports with actual live links (URLs of links) with their corresponding metrics (Ahrefs’ DR, SEMRush, Majestic’s Citation, and Trust Flow).
We do weekly check-ups with our clients so we can brainstorm linkable asset topics and maneuver direction if there are urgent priority pages from their brand/business.
What tools and technologies do you use for link prospecting, outreach, and monitoring?
We use Ahrefs and SEMRush for sourcing link opportunities and vetting their quality. For email outreach, we use Google Sheets and Hunter.io to find email addresses of contact persons and send them using our email accounts (through the help of useful Gmail extensions).
Does your service include content creation for guest posts or other link-building tactics? If so, can I review and approve the content before it's published?
Yes. All our link prices include content creation costs. We can work with your in-house content writers to develop relevant guest post topics to increase approval rates from elite-level publications.
Do you conduct competitor backlink analysis? How do you leverage this information to build links for my website?
As mentioned earlier, we do a link gap analysis similar to competitor backlink analysis. Still, focusing on the quality number of backlinks, we should outperform to strengthen your site’s backlink profile.
How do you structure your pricing? Are there different packages based on the number of links, quality, or other factors?
See our link building packages. We also offer customized pricing for bulk orders, particularly for SEO agencies with massive link building projects.
How long does it typically take to see tangible results from your link-building efforts? What kind of growth can I expect in organic traffic?
We get results within six months based on our 9-year experience working for link building clients. At most, these depend highly on the client’s resources, existing backlink profile, and industry competition (if they’re targeting low-competitive keywords, it’s much easier to see improvements in search engine rankings).
Can you provide testimonials or case studies from past clients, especially those in my industry or niche?
