Earned links for ecommerce and DTC brands

Linkable assets for ecommerce and DTC brands

Product pages rarely earn links on their own, and bought links put your store at risk. We build resources that gift guide editors, reviewers, and shoppers want to reference, so links point back to your store and keep compounding.

Shoppers and the people who influence them research before they buy. They read reviews, scan gift guides, and ask communities what is worth it. Earned links put your brand in all of those places. A bought link does none of that and can trigger a penalty that wipes out the category rankings your sales depend on.

Where the links come from

Ecommerce links live in specific places

We target sources that carry weight in retail, not generic directories.

  • Gift guide editors and seasonal roundups at consumer publications
  • Product review sites and bloggers in your category
  • Niche community forums and subreddits where buyers ask for recommendations
  • Journalists covering retail, consumer trends, and small business
  • Curators and creators who link to the sources behind their picks
  • Comparison and deal sites that reference original data
An example play

From a care guide to a cited resource

A DTC brand turns its most common customer question into the clearest care guide on the web for that product type. Forums, blogs, and a few editors start linking to it as the reference answer. The page keeps earning links every time the question comes up, with no extra outreach.

This is the opposite of a bought link. It’s a real resource, on your domain, that people choose to reference.

Good to know

Ecommerce questions, answered

We sell mostly on Amazon or a marketplace. Does our own site still benefit?
Yes. Links to your own domain build the authority that helps you rank in search and show up when people look for your category, which feeds every channel including your marketplace listings.
Do gift guides really earn links?
They do, when they’re useful rather than a list of your own products. Editors and bloggers reference strong guides as a source, and that’s where the link comes from.
How is this different from a sponsored post or paid placement?
A sponsored post is one placement you pay for, and it stops working when it publishes. A linkable asset lives on your site and earns links from many people over time, which compounds.
How fast do we see results?
We usually build an asset in about two weeks. Links then accrue over the following weeks as people discover and reference it.
