The definition
A link from someone else's site to yours. Search engines read quality links as votes of credibility.
Why it matters to an owner
Ten links from real local organizations beat a thousand from link farms — which can actively hurt. Never buy them in bulk.
This is the work. Want it done?
Everything here is free to use yourself — that’s the point. If you’d rather a senior marketer just handle it, in your accounts and your name: 20-minute call, no pitch deck.
