Grow topical authority

Extensive monthly research considers your target keywords and provides the basis for our outreach.

Thousands of websites are thoroughly assessed for topical relevance, authority and long term SEO value using HiveRank®.

Combining our deep understanding of audiences, and requirements for content to rank in search, we include contextually relevant links in editorials that provide brand awareness and topical authority for your website.

Outrank competitors

Brands typically gain links to their homepage or blogs organically, we specialise in targeting your high-value landing pages to build genuine authority to the pages that will convert customers.

Following a full competitor analysis and benchmarking you against industry rivals, we find the gaps that not only strengthens your backlink profile but identify areas that they haven’t touched yet to give you a competitive advantage.

Link building FAQs

How do you identify the right websites for me?

Hive19 identifies and assesses over 25,000 websites every month. Using your target key terms and creatively mapping customer groups, we will find sites in your country, your industry and your niche. From there, our HiveRank® system, a weighting system considering over 45 metrics and manual checks will determine the suitability for each publication.

What is the turnaround time?

Each website is contacted independently, and each editor works to their own time frame – both in terms of replying, and publishing content. For that reason we cannot ever guarantee a turnaround time, but taking the average number of days across every publication Hive19 has ever produced, it’s around 38 days from initial contact.

Are links permanent?

Working with real businesses, we are not buying links. At Hive19 we are providing quality content that helps the third party website to rank for terms that align with our client. Therefore, whilst we cannot guarantee that the link will be permanent – we are confident that there is no reason for the site to remove it once published. We are proud to guarantee publications will be live for a minimum of 12 months.

How do you charge for link building services? 

Campaigns are ongoing, charged on a monthly basis. We offer 2 types of backlink, Supreme and Ultimate (separated in our HiveRank® system, bespoke to your industry). You can choose the volume, with the minimum being one per month. Ultimate Campaigns are priced as a retainer.

Brand mentions: reclaim lost authority

Claiming unlinked brand mentions can help improve the visibility of your website in organic search.

Ideal for brands who have an existing presence online, where you’re likely to have been mentioned by third parties.

This can be local, national or international – so long as the company, and website are established and are likely to be mentioned in any context externally.

Get started

Combining SEO expertise with brand management

Hive19’s team of backlink specialists methodically research and assess your brand’s digital footprint for opportunities to turn citations (mentions of your brand) to linked brand mentions.

Following a bespoke report and collaborative workspace, we focus on identifying the most relevant and authoritative mentions of your brand online.

The SEO benefit of linked brand mentions

Claiming unlinked brand mentions can help improve the visibility of your website in organic search.

Ideal for brands who have a presence online and is likely to have been mentioned by third parties.

Researching all mentions, both positive and negative, will provide clarity for brand managers and SEO teams to optimise the website’s presence and drive maximum organic traffic to the domain from highly relevant, targeted websites.

Hive19's brand mentions process

Research and discovery

We’ll learn about your brand, your business and the most likely sources of online mentions. Your dedicated backlinks expert will provide access to our shared workspace, where you will find all of the data and the system for sign-off before outreach begins.

Using the key search terms provided; such as brand name, trademarks, priority products and services and any public figures within the company, Hive19 will systematically scour the web for every single online mention of your company.

Assessment and approval

Actionable instances where value may be gained from identified websites are added to the shared workspace, where you can sign off on the next step.

The context, along with core website metrics are shared for each target, along with a process status for easy tracking.

  • Exclusive HiveRank® website analysis
  • Integrates data from Ahrefs, Majestic, etc.
  • Conducts 45+ manual suitability checks
  • Weighted scores on key metrics
  • Considers industry, country, traffic, DR, TF, DA

Strategy and outreach

With the cleansed list of client-approved targets, Hive19 will devise a strategy to make contact with target websites, in order to obtain maximum value.

Depending on the volume of approved targets (it can be in upwards of 10k), Hive19 will expertly reach out to each website individually to optimise the brand mention and drive maximum organic growth for your brand.

Most common brand mention questions

How do you charge for online brand monitoring?

We charge for the research phase and the remediation phase (client sign off and outreach to action any findings) separately.

This allows you to use the research internally, if you would rather take care of that phase yourselves – or in the unlikely event that the research didn’t return enough instances to progress to remediation.

Prices are bespoke, based on the number of mentions we might be working with, which is generally proportional to the size and reach of the brand.

How do you find brand mentions online?

Using the information provided in the research and discovery phase, we use a variety of Google searches and parameters, along with industry tools including Ahrefs, Mention and a few others. We then manually assess thousands of rows of data, slicing the findings into segments that can be reviewed, actioned or discarded.

We also use our exclusive HiveRank® system to analyse opportunities, to identify potential areas of growth for your domain.

How long does the project take?

Research depends on the size of the brand, and therefore the volume of mentions assessed. Typically we present the findings the following month from when the work was requested.

The outreach phase is entirely dependent on the client sign off phase, as this usually involves the SEO and digitalPR team collaborating to approve opportunities.

Assuming this phase is complete, it then depends on the volume of mentions that require action. Generally speaking, we tend to outreach for anything between 10 and 250 instances per month.

Are you able to fix broken links?

We are able to identify any instances of broken links, naked URLs or backlinks that could be improved (updating to a newer resource, for instance) and then outreach to the website where the issue exists. We cannot guarantee that the website will update the mention, but we certainly do everything in our power to make it happen.

What if I have a PR team who don’t want you to speak with their contacts?

This is why we have the client sign-off phase. Naturally, SEO teams and PR teams have different objectives for exposure – and there are instances where it would not be possible or even advisable to attempt to update mentions. Our shared workspace provides absolute clarity of every mention online, and the action required – meaning your wider team can approve any potential action before it takes place.

White label link building FAQs

White label or partnership?

At Hive19 we operate both as a partner and as a white label provider to agencies who outsource their link building. Through a shared Google Workspace, private Slack channels and Zapier integration – our teams are aligned and focused to work collaboratively on client accounts. From general advice and live updates of campaign success right the way through to pitch deck materials, client reporting and catch up meetings – Hive19 aren’t just a supplier, we’re an extension of the team.

There is no hiding place in digital PR, the proof is in the level and the quality of each publication. Hive19 are proud to partner with agencies across the globe, sharing the highest standard of campaign coverage to fuel the growth of client marketing. Our focus isn’t just to be trusted to work on your clients’ accounts, it’s to provide work that you are excited to share with them.

How do you charge agencies?

We charge per publication, so the volume to your end client is guaranteed. Using our shared workspace, anyone in your team can keep track of the progress at every stage of the process – from initial research right the way through to live URL. We also offer our reputation management and content production services to the agencies we partner with, so please enquire today to discuss how Hive19 could support your clients with authority building, traffic driving campaigns.

What happens if my client leaves?

Hive19 campaigns are a minimum of 4 months, at which point they roll month to month. Campaigns can be paused or ceased with 30 day’s notice. We guarantee the number of publications invoiced will be achieved, but we can’t be sure when they will go live (as it depends on the research, and the publishing website’s editorial calendar).

How many links can you earn for my clients?

Agreements between Hive19 and your agency can be formed from as little as 1 link per month. We advise that 6-7 per month, per client should be the maximum, spread across a longer period of sustained growth.
