Best backlink building for startups?

Question

I'd like to build up my SEO ranking. Does anyone know how to get articles written about the product? Techcrunch, other high ranking websites?

> You can sign up to HARO and apply to be featured in articles if your profile is relevant.
> The 404 backlink strategy is actually quite interesting if you're looking to build backlinks and already have some relevant content live! You basically scrape sites in your niche and look for 404 errors on their content. You can then reach out to them to fix those links with your own content :). (quite time-consuming though)

Hi David

I'm building backl.io which lets you semi-automate the backlink building.

The strategy is as follows:
1. see where your competitors have their backlinks from
2. write to these website owners asking for a backlink
3. the "asking for backlink" is tricky of course - there are different techniques such as "skyscraper" (the one I usually use), offer guest posting or just plainly pay for the backlink

@nicolaas_spijker do you recommend any HARO sites?

Nico Spijker · Answer

@david_deisadze Helpareporter has a newsletter signup, you can select the categories you think are relevant for your business and you'll receive regular emails with requests.

@david_deisadze my tool does…
1. crawl email addresses from a webpage
2. extract other important facts from the webpage

So you can write a chatGPT template which writes a fitting email which you can send out from the tool directly. You can also see bounces and replies so you track and manage your process from one place.

@philkellr hey Philipp! Thank you, I will check it out. Does your tool automate sending the messages + specific page or section to plug in relevant content?
