White label link building refers to outsourcing your link building efforts to a third-party agency that delivers the service under your brand name. In simple terms, you sell the service to your clients, but someone else does the heavy lifting behind the scenes.
White-label link building is the solution. Hiring a link building agency gets your clients the links they need while you focus on generating results in other areas.

What Is White Label Link Building?
White-label link building is when an agency generates links for another agency’s clients. The latter company presents the links to the client as if they built them themselves.
It’s a common practice because link building is essential to SEO campaigns, but it requires specialized skills that many digital marketing agencies don’t have.
You may decide to use white-label link building services when:
- One of your clients asks you to build links for them.
- You spot that a client could benefit from links.
- Your in-house link building team is struggling with demand.
- You want to test offering link building as a service without committing to hiring a team.
White labeling links are an alternative to building an in-house team to fulfill the request, which can be time-consuming and costly.
When you choose a quality white-label SEO agency, you get instant access to link building expertise and a process that would take years to build in-house. This then generates the best quality links for your clients.
A white label link building agency can:
- Build high-quality links: A white-label link building agency will likely already have relationships with websites that can benefit your clients. They will also have the expertise to carry out effective outreach campaigns, such as blogger outreach, to get high-quality backlinks.
- Create high-quality content: You need superior content creation based on strong keyword research for effective link building. A white-label link building agency can ensure your client’s website content is up to scratch and create high-quality content for guest posting.
- Save you money: You won’t have to pay competitive salaries or have to provide benefits and perks of in-house employees to offer your clients link building services. White-label link building allows you to pay a fixed price based on your needs—this is usually far more affordable than hiring your own team.
- Help you build your brand: As an agency, you can use white label link building to boost your brand and service offerings. By providing link building as a service, you can increase your bottom line and get your clients great results. White-label link building allows you to apply your own branding to things like reports and real-time trackers.
- Drive high-authority backlinks: The more authoritative a website is, the higher the value of a backlink will be. White-label link building agencies tend to have a wide range of websites and publishers that they work with in various niches that can help you land your client some seriously authoritative links.
Trust Is Key
Quality control is the biggest issue when outsourcing link building. This is because the type of links the service generates dramatically impacts the effectiveness of your entire SEO campaign.
The correct links increase your client’s domain authority and can increase their site’s rankings.
But get it wrong, and Google will either ignore the links (if you’re lucky) or penalize your website (if you’re not). This can undo all your agency’s positive work in other areas.
What’s more, link building scams are prevalent. And many so-called link building services and freelancers use techniques that hurt your search engine rankings.
Link building scams to look out for
- Link building services that use PBNs: PBNs are website networks used to build a large number of links to another site.
- Link farms: These are seemingly normal websites that exist only to host links that people pay for.
- Directory, comment, or forum links: These low-quality links won’t necessarily harm your client’s site, but they’ll have a zero to minimal rankings impact and are rarely worth the cost.
- Fake guest post services: These services build links by placing guest posts on low-value sites like PBNs and link farms.
- Unproven link builders: These are link builders who claim big results but don’t have any way to prove it. They are best avoided.

At LinkBuilder, we provide a service that only generates high-quality links from real sites. We never use the tactics listed above.
Instead, we use effective link building techniques based on building relationships and manual outreach to generate links for your clients.
We’re a service you can trust, and we have both the results and the happy clients to back this up.
We Only Build Links That Benefit Your Clients
Every single link we place helps push the needle for your client. The strict due diligence process we use when deciding which websites to place links on ensures this is the case.
Metrics we look for
- Organic Traffic: This is a clear sign that Google likes a site. We look for a minimum of 1,000 organic visitors per month.
- Outbound vs. Inbound Link Ratio: Too many outbound links suggest a website is a link farm. We look for websites with an optimal number of inbound vs. outbound links.
- Website Content: We manually check each website to ensure it publishes high-quality original content.
- Domain Authority: We place links on sites that match or beat the authority listed in the payment plan you choose.
- Niche Relevancy: Links from publications related to your client’s website have a bigger impact than non-relevant links. We always place niche-relevant links.
Our 6-Step White Label Link Building Strategy
This is the six-stage process we use to build quality links for your clients.
1) Order
You choose the type of links you want us to build and how many links you need. Tell us which pages to build links to, or we can work with you to define the best candidates.
2) Analysis
We tailor our service to each website we build links for. The process starts by looking at your client’s sites, reviewing their competitors, and analyzing their existing content assets. This helps us spot the best link building opportunities.
3) Strategy
We then create a strategy that will result in high-quality links in the fastest time possible. The exact strategy depends on the client and target sites. Common tactics we use include guest posts, editorial links, and using linkable assets.
4) Prospecting
We build a comprehensive list of opportunities and reach out to these websites. We personalize outreach to each site and display the value of the client’s site and business. This is key to making our offer attractive to real websites.
5) Relationship building
Nurturing relationships with website owners is the best way to build trust and generate links. We leverage existing relationships and build new ones to open up link opportunities. At this point, we negotiate with the site owners to finalize a deal that is mutually beneficial.
6) Deliver results
As links go live, we track everything using a backlink monitoring tool so you can see them clearly. We provide white-label reports via Google Docs that you can share with clients, so they get insight too.
What do our clients say?
We’ve worked with some extremely successful online brands & digital marketing agencies, and we’ve never had a bad review. Our price is far superior to ‘high-end’ agencies, and our work is far more efficient and effective.
