Placements on relevant sites, with nothing hidden.
Not every link needs a news hook. We find real sites your customers read, pitch useful articles to their editors and write the content ourselves. Every placement is reported with its URL and whether a publisher fee was involved.
What it is
Guest posts and outreach placements: articles written for real publications in your niche, each with a contextual link back to a relevant page on your site.
Some publishers accept articles purely on merit, others charge an editorial fee. Both can be legitimate. What matters is that you know which is which.
Who it’s for
Sites that need relevant links every month, not only when a campaign lands. It is also a good way to support specific pages, like a product category or a guide.
We usually recommend it alongside PR, so your link profile grows from both earned coverage and placements.
Formats we use
Contributed articles
Useful, original articles for the site’s readers, written by our team.
Resource additions
Your page suggested as a source inside an existing, relevant article.
Partner and supplier pages
Links from companies you already work with, which are often simply missing.
Local and regional sites
Placements on local news and directories that matter for regional search.

CrackifyWhat this service does not include
- No private blog networks. We avoid sites that exist only to sell links or show the patterns of a link farm.
- No hidden fees. If a publisher charges, it is in your report. If a site labels the post as sponsored, we tell you before it goes live.
- No spun content. Every article is written for the site’s readers, not for a word count.
Questions about link building.
Are these links paid?
Some are, some are not. We show the fee status for every placement so you can make informed decisions.
How do you choose sites?
Traffic, topical relevance, editorial quality and outbound link patterns. You approve the final list.
Can we choose anchors and target pages?
Yes. We will advise against over-optimised anchors, but the targets are your call.
