Local Link Building Services

Authority Google Can Verify Slate Marketing

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 link cap, max 5 links: three pages link into one page, which links out to Blog, About, Pricing and Services. Limit body text links. Pass clean equity. Avoid spam flags.

Internal links

Earned links bring authority in. Internal links decide where it goes.

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.

Link building questions.

How many links a month?

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.

Do you buy links?

No. Paid placements that pass ranking value violate Google's policies and are the most common reason a local site suddenly disappears.

Why owners pick Slate over bigger agencies

  1. Seventeen five-star reviews in six months

    Slate Marketing signed its first client six months ago and already has 17 five-star Google reviews from the owners we work for. There are agencies twenty years old with fewer. Read every one on our reviews page.

  2. No contract that locks you in

    Many agencies want six or twelve months in writing. We work month to month and keep your business by earning it, not by holding you to a signature.

  3. Open pricing, open process

    Every starting price is on our pricing page. Before you commit, you see the number, what it covers and exactly how we will do the work. No fine print and no surprise charges.

  4. If you're unhappy, we're unhappy

    Our clients come first. Both founders, Jack Moutardier and Daxton Noe, work on every account and answer the phone, so a problem goes straight to the people who can fix it.

  5. A real guarantee, not a ranking promise

    Nobody honest can guarantee rankings, and the Map Pack rotates. We guarantee you will be satisfied with the work, or we keep working until you are, and where your review history supports it we put a Map Pack guarantee in writing.
