How It Works

How tiered link building amplifies your authority.

Obtaining relevant, high quality backlinks (Tier 1) to your site is only the beginning. The next step is to achieve additional links (Tier 2) to maximum impact.

01

Tier 1: Links TO Your Site

Editorial link building, guest posts, link insertions, and digital PR Direct links to your pages: High quality insertions and Digital PR.

02

Tier 2: Links to Tier 1 Pages

The number of links pointing to the page that hosts each of your Tier 1 backlinks.

03

Tier 3: Optional Amplification

Authority enhancer for the third tier of Tier 2 pages. Used to heavily concentrate authority in highly competitive markets where it’s better to have a smaller number of highly authoritative pages rather than a large number of mediocre pages.

04

When Tiered Building Makes Sense

These are keywords where single-tier link building is insufficient, as your competitors have thousands of referring domains.

05

Boosting High-Value Placements

If you land a digital PR Get your digital PR placement on VentureBeat or Forbes? Awesome work! Next step: get some Tier 2 links to the article, so all the SEO juice they create is passed back to you.

06

Quality at Every Tier

Spammy Tier 2 links can still negatively impact the Tier 1 page. SERPpro uses only vetted, Tier 1 editorial sites and real sites from Tier 2, free of spam at all levels.

FAQ

Tiered link building questions answered.

Is tiered link building safe?
Yes, only if you’re maintaining quality at each level. Spinning spam or using PBNs on lower tiers can drag the Tier 1 page down in the SERPS. SERPpro does NOT use vetted and professional editorial sites at the Tier 1 level AND real sites at Tier 2. NO SPAM IN OUR SYSTEM.
How many tiers should I use?
Most campaigns are structured with two levels of link placement. Tier 3 is rarely necessary and typically isn’t worth the additional effort. Allocate your budget to high value Tier 1 placements with a few strategically placed Tier 2 links to assist.
What is the best Tier 2 tactic?
Link insertions Link insertions at the DR 20-40 level. Fast and affordable, these links can be delivered within 1-10 days. The links are inserted into existing content and that is already indexed by search engines. These links are ideal for helping to boost the rankings of your Tier 1 pages.
Can SERPpro build both tiers?
Yes. We offer Tier 1 through editorial link building, as well as via guest posts and digital PR. We also offer Tier 2 through lower-DR links that are inserted to targeted Tier 1 placement URLs.
Can tiered building be white-labeled?
Yes. Agencies outsource Yes. Agencies outsource multi-tier campaigns with full white-label reporting.white-label reporting.
How long before tiered links show results?
The first tier of links typically begin to bear fruit in about 4 to 8 weeks. The second tier of links take about two to four weeks to come into play - by which time the first tier links should start to bear more fruit.
