What clients say
The kind of feedback
that keeps us growing.
We've placed over 1,200 editorial links for UK B2B brands. Here's what marketing leads actually say when the dashboards land — not the polished soundbites.
"We tried two agencies before LinksGrowth and watched our DR flatline. Six months in we're up 22 points, ranking for terms we couldn't crack in two years, and the placements are on sites we actually want to be associated with."
SC
Sarah Chen
Head of SEO · Northpath Legal
Manchester · 40-attorney commercial law firm · 8 months on campaign
DR 48 → 70 in 6 months
"What I appreciate most is the transparency. Every placement comes with the live URL, traffic it sent, and the domain metrics. Our last agency sent a PDF once a quarter and prayed we didn't ask questions."
DM
Daniel Marsh
Founder · Bridgepoint SaaS
Bristol · B2B project management SaaS · 14 months on campaign
+340% organic signups
"The travel SEO work was genuinely impressive. They got us into Conde Nast, The Times, and a handful of niche travel pubs I didn't even know existed. Bookings attributable to organic traffic nearly tripled in a year."

Amara Okonkwo
Marketing Director · Voyageur Travel Co.
Edinburgh · luxury tour operator, 12 destinations · 11 months on campaign

"Realistic promises, ruthless execution. They told us we'd gain 12-15 DR points in the first year and we gained 14. No fluff, no chasing, no surprise invoices. Rare in this space."

Client results
What our clients say after six months.
Real campaigns, real metrics, real publishers. Below are four clients who agreed to share their results publicly.
"Organic traffic to our tour pages is up 194% in the eight months we've been working with Links Growth. Half the work comes from destination features I didn't even know existed — national press, regional lifestyle titles, even trade publications. This is the first link campaign I've seen where the placements actually fit the brand."
RM
Rachel McAllister
Head of Marketing · Wildcroft Travel Co.
Travel & tours · Edinburgh
"Direct bookings grew 62% year-on-year after Links Growth rebuilt our authority profile. We'd spent two years trying to outrank the OTAs and getting nowhere. Their editorial approach — lifestyle press, food critics, regional tourism boards — finally gave us something to point to. Worth every penny."
JT
Jonathan Tremaine
General Manager · Cotswold House Hotel
Hospitality · Cotswolds
"We went from DR 41 to DR 62 in eleven months. More importantly, the links came from places our buyers actually read — fintech media, accounting publications, founder interview sites. The reporting is the cleanest I've seen from any agency: every URL, every anchor, every outreach status."
SP
Sophie Pennington
VP Marketing · Ledgerline
Fintech SaaS · London
"Three other agencies had promised editorial links and delivered PBNs. Links Growth was the first to walk us through exactly how they'd vet every site, who writes the content, and what we'd see before publication. Our referring domains doubled in a year — and the quality is night and day compared to what we had before."
