Competitor link map
Where the businesses ranking above you get their links, so the plan targets sources that demonstrably work in your market.


Local link building from Slate Marketing LLC earns a business links from the Louisville, Southern Indiana and Cincinnati sources Google counts.
Links from other sites are still how Google decides which of two relevant pages deserves to rank higher. For a local business the useful links are local: the chamber of commerce, the youth team you sponsor, the supplier who lists installers, the neighborhood paper, the partner trades you refer work to. None of them are for sale, which is why they count. We map the links your top three competitors have, find the ones you can earn, and do the outreach and follow-up so it happens. No bulk packages, no private networks, nothing you would have to explain to Google later. A dozen real local links usually outweighs everything else left on a site.

Internal links
Links inside the body copy pass the most weight, so we keep them few and deliberate: each one points up to the page it belongs under or across to a page in the same category, never to a page just because it seemed related. A paragraph crowded with links dilutes every one of them and reads like spam to a person and to Google.
SEO is not a one-time setup. It is a game of adding things: a new page for every question Search Console shows people asking, the profile updated every week, and reviews coming in every month.
Best for: Businesses whose pages are good and already indexed but stuck on page three or beyond.
Where the businesses ranking above you get their links, so the plan targets sources that demonstrably work in your market.
Chambers, associations, sponsorships, suppliers and partners contacted, followed up and confirmed, with your approval on every one.
A milestone, a hire, a community job or a data point pitched to local press and trade publications.
One part of seo and map pack rankings, which explains how the pieces fit together.
Fewer than a link vendor would promise, and every one real. A handful of genuine local links a quarter moves a contractor site more than hundreds of purchased ones, and carries no risk.
No. Paid placements that pass ranking value violate Google's policies and are the most common reason a local site suddenly disappears.
