Domain authority you earn lasts. Domain authority you rent from a link farm doesn't.

The link-building industry has a cheap-scheme problem. PBNs, spam outreach, and purchased links produce short-term position movement and long-term Google penalties. Solqiro builds backlinks the only way that survives: earned, relevant, and from real domains.

From $700/month

The problem most businesses in your situation face.

Low domain authority is the invisible ceiling on your SEO performance. You can have technically perfect pages and well-targeted keywords, but if your domain doesn't carry enough authority relative to your competitors, you won't rank. The problem: most link-building services in this price tier are selling shortcuts that work until they don't. Cheap link schemes get sites penalties. Recovering from a manual action or algorithmic penalty costs far more than building a clean backlink profile from the start.

Our approach

How we run this engagement.

Audit the existing profile

Before building new links, we assess what's already there. Toxic links from past schemes can suppress rankings. We identify anything worth disavowing before layering on new acquisition.

Define what "relevant" means for your niche

A link from a genuine industry publication carries more authority signal than a link from a generic "top 10 agencies" directory. We define the criteria for a good link specific to your domain.

Research and qualify prospects

We identify specific domains worth targeting — not from a list-buy, but from manual research against your criteria. Every prospect is assessed for editorial standards, traffic, and topical relevance before outreach begins.

Earn, not buy

Outreach is personalised and pitches something genuinely useful to the target publication. Links acquired this way pass full authority and carry no penalty risk. We will not build links from any source we wouldn't show you in the monthly report.

Representative engagement

What this looks like in practice.

Why us

Why Link Building from Solqiro.

We only build links we'd show you

Every link is in the monthly report — domain, URL, anchor text, and the context of how it was acquired. Nothing is hidden.

We start by auditing what's already there

Toxic links can suppress rankings. We clean before we build.

Quality over count

Ten editorially earned links from relevant industry publications produce more lasting authority than 200 directory submissions.

We've seen the aftermath of cheap link schemes

Sites that have been penalised understand the cost. If you've been burned before, we can audit the damage and build a recovery plan.

FAQ

Questions about Link Building.

No. We don't build links from private blog networks, paid link directories without editorial review, or any source that violates Google's link scheme guidelines. If you've worked with an agency that did, we can audit the existing profile and help you recover.
Quality link building is not a volume game. A typical monthly retainer produces 4–8 editorially earned placements depending on your niche and how competitive the outreach landscape is. We'll give you a realistic projection for your industry.
Every link in the monthly report includes the referring domain, the specific URL where your link appears, and the context of how it was acquired. You can verify each one independently.
Links are assessed by Google during crawls and index updates, which are ongoing but not immediate. Most clients see domain authority movement within 3–4 months and ranking improvements shortly after. Significant authority gains take 6–12 months of consistent building.
Yes. We start with a link audit to identify the problematic links, prepare a disavow file, and help you submit it through Google Search Console. Penalty recovery timelines vary from weeks to months depending on the type of action (algorithmic vs. manual) and the extent of the problem.
