Replace dead links with your best pages.
The web is full of links pointing at pages that no longer exist. We find broken links on relevant sites, match them to a page you have, or one worth creating, and tell the site owner so they can fix the article and link to you instead.
What it is
When a page dies, every article that linked to it is left with a dead link. Most site owners want to fix them, they just do not know they are there.
We find those links, check that your page is a genuine replacement, and send a short, helpful note to the person who can update the article.
Who it’s for
Sites with guides, research, tools or templates that cover the same ground as the pages that disappeared.
If you do not have a good match yet, we brief a replacement page first, then reach out.
Formats we use
Closed competitor pages
Pages from closed or moved competitors that still collect links.
Resource page fixes
Curated lists and resource pages with outdated entries.
Lost research
Studies and statistics pages that went offline but are still cited.
Replacement content
A new page built to replace a valuable dead resource, then pitched.

CrackifyWhat this service does not include

- Not a bait and switch. We only suggest pages that genuinely replace what was lost.
- Not instant. Site owners update at their own pace, so we follow up politely.
Questions about broken link building.
What if we have no matching page?
We write a brief for a replacement page. Once it is live, we start the outreach.
Are these links paid?
Most are free fixes. If a site owner asks for a fee, it is listed in your report.
How many links can we expect?
It depends on your niche and content. We estimate it in the proposal after a quick prospecting check.
