How to Get Backlinks from Fast Company

Fast Company has a Domain Rating of 90 and receives 11M+ monthly visitors. A single editorial link from Fast Company carries more ranking weight than dozens of links from lower-authority sites. Google treats Fast Company as a trusted, high-authority publisher, which is precisely why a link from them moves your domain authority faster than most other sources.

Paid link schemes involve paying directly for a placement with no editorial oversight, which violates Google's guidelines and risks a manual penalty. The Fast Company placements Dot Mirror secures are genuinely editorial: pitched through direct relationships with Fast Company contributors and editors, reviewed by their editorial team, and indistinguishable from organically earned links. They're compliant because they go through the same process any earned placement would.

Link inserts on existing Fast Company content typically go live within 14–21 days. Guest post placements require editorial scheduling and take 3–6 weeks from pitch to publication. We'll give you a specific estimate based on the type of Fast Company placement you want and your campaign brief.

A DR 90 link from Fast Company will meaningfully shift your domain authority and improve rankings on competitive keywords, especially when paired with a strategic anchor text that targets your highest-priority terms. Most clients see measurable ranking movement within 60–90 days of their first high-authority placements going live.

Every placement comes with a 90-day link replacement guarantee. If a Fast Company link goes down for any reason within 90 days, we replace it with a comparable or higher-DR link at no additional cost. You can see the link URL, DR, anchor text, and indexed confirmation within 7 days of it going live.
