The Client

Growthink provides business consulting and business planning services. In a crowded consulting market, trust and authority are critical levers for organic visibility.

The Goal

Growthink needed sustained authority growth by expanding referring domains and link equity to support long-term keyword and traffic gains.

Our Approach

Over a 21-month engagement from September 2021 to June 2023, our team ran an ongoing outreach-driven white-hat link acquisition campaign designed for durable results.

The Result: 500+ Backlinks Over 21 Months

The campaign delivered 500+ new backlinks across the engagement window, steadily building Growthink's referring-domain base and Domain Rating.

What the data shows (via Ahrefs)

Domain Rating: Started at 64 in September 2021 and climbed steadily through the campaign, settling in the mid-70s range by the end of the engagement.

Organic Traffic: Started at roughly 32,300 monthly visits and grew substantially through 2022 and into 2023.

The Long-Term Picture

Backlink campaigns compound over time, and Growthink's profile still reflects the foundation built during this engagement.
