The situation

If any of this sounds familiar

The category page will not move

Your blog and your brand name rank. The category term that actually sells belongs to a bigger store with thousands of referring domains.

Shoppers decide somewhere else

Buyers read the "best [product]" articles before they ever reach a store, and your products are not in the ones that rank.

Peak season arrives unprepared

Black Friday rankings are won in Q1 to Q3. A store that starts building in October is building for next year.

Reports count links, not revenue

You have been sent a list of links and a DR figure. Nobody has shown you which pages moved, or what they sell.

What you get

Included with Ecommerce

A store's revenue sits on its category and product pages, and those are the pages nobody links to on their own. We place links where shoppers decide — shopping guides, "best X" roundups, retail press — and point them at the pages that sell, measured in rankings for buying terms rather than in DR.

  • Link targets mapped to the category and product pages that carry revenue
  • Link inserts in existing "best of" roundups and shopping guides that already rank
  • Guest posts on niche blogs and lifestyle publications in your product vertical
  • Press coverage in retail and commerce media
  • Every site vetted for real traffic, and nothing below DR 30
  • AI visibility tracking, so you know when assistants name you for "best X" questions

The logic

Why this fits Ecommerce

01

The pages that sell are the hard ones to link

Nobody links to a category page by accident. Inserts in roundups that already rank are the most direct way to point authority at the page a shopper buys from.

02

Shopping guides are where the decision happens

Someone reading a "best [product]" article is at peak buying intent. A link from that page sends traffic that converts as well as authority that ranks.

03

Season is a deadline, not a theme

Rankings for peak-season terms are built months ahead. Consistent link velocity is what lets a page hold its position when the revenue is on the line.

How it works

1

Page mapping

We map the category and product pages that carry revenue to the buying terms they should rank for, and agree which to push first.

2

Baseline

A written audit within 24 hours: your referring domain profile, the gap against the stores ranking above you, and the roundups worth being in.

3

Build

Inserts into ranking roundups and shopping guides, guest posts in your vertical, and retail press. You approve every site before outreach starts.

4

Re-measure

Monthly reporting on rankings for the mapped pages and the terms behind them, plus every live link with its traffic and anchor.

The engagement

What the first season looks like

Inserts go live first, because they land on pages that already rank. Guest posts and press compound behind them.

  1. Week 1

    Map and audit

    Nothing is placed until we know which pages carry revenue and which roundups are worth being in.

    • Category and product pages mapped to buying terms
    • Gap against the stores ranking above you
    • Roundups and shopping guides shortlisted for inserts
  2. Weeks 2–6

    First links live

    Link inserts land on articles that already rank, so the first placements are live inside the published turnaround.

    • Inserts in "best of" roundups, live in 14–21 days
    • Guest posts in your product vertical go into pitch
    • Every site approved by you before outreach
  3. Months 2–3

    Compound and re-measure

    Guest posts and press coverage land behind the inserts, and the mapped pages are re-measured against week one.

    • Retail and commerce press for the products worth a story
    • Rankings re-measured on the mapped pages
    • Velocity planned ahead of the peak season you sell into

FAQ

Common questions

Yes, and for most stores that is the point. We target category pages, individual product pages or the homepage depending on the terms you need, and plan the anchor mix across the campaign so no page ends up with an obviously bought profile.
Not for the links. Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce and custom builds all rank the same way. The platform matters for the audit, because each one structures category and product pages differently, which is why the form asks for it.
Both. The strategy differs: a branded store benefits more from press and editorial coverage, while a dropshipping store usually needs niche editorial and shopping-guide placements.
It depends on your niche and where you start. We usually recommend five to ten high-quality links a month and scaling on ranking progress, rather than a large first order.
Links placed during your subscription are replaced at no cost within the first 90 days. Plans are month to month, and every link is placed permanently on the publication, so it is yours to keep.
