FAQ's

Ongoing link building for search engine optimisation is important and the only way to stay up to date and ahead of your competition on the search engines. While it is possible to conduct basic link building yourself, it is beneficial to have someone with industry experience for the best results. Particularly if you are in a competitive marketplace and want to have a 'substantial' piece of the pie.

Anchor text refers to the exact clickable words used to link one web page to another. For example 'SEO Link Building Packages' is clickable and is linked to the RiSEO 'SEO Packages' Page.

The 5 types of anchor text:- URL anchors: URL anchors (also known as Naked URLs or Naked links). Example: https://www.riseo.co.uk Generic anchor text: Example: Click Here / Get Started Branded anchor text: Example: RiSEO Exact-match anchor text: Exact-match anchor text takes the user to a page that is about the precise keywords used in the anchor. A link displaying “RiSEO Link Building Packages” takes you to a page titled “RiSEO Link Building Packages” Image Anchors: The anchor is an image, but you click on it as you would a text hyperlink. Recommended Anchor Ratio:- Have a diverse range of anchor types, with your end user (human) in mind. It is critical to have a clear anchor text/backlink strategy, therefore keeping the search engines (including Google’s!!) algorithms satisfied, this requires a diversity of anchor text types, and a focus on positive user experience. As mentioned above, it is recommended to use a high ratio of different anchor text to the main money keywords that you are trying to optimize. This prevents your main money keywords from getting over-optimized - the #1 cause of Google Penalties. Keep generic/naked/branded/image anchor text to a HIGH % of your overall anchors, and then use variations of your main money keywords from order to order. You will avoid over-optimization this way and keep a natural looking link profile. If you have an established website and want to see what your overall anchor text breakdown is, you can use a tool like www.ahrefs.com.

SEO is similar to an election. We can tell you that you have to be out there shaking hands. But we can't tell you how many hands you'll need to shake to succeed. You just keep shaking until you do. If you are asking this question, you are asking to be lied to. Why? Because nobody can tell you with any accuracy how many links its going to take to rank your site. RiSEO is no different in that regard, except that we're honest about it. More so, RiSEO is only a link building service, not a keyword research, competitive research, on-site optimization or SEO consulting service. If any of these factors are not done well, any link building you do is going to be at a handicap. 4 Reasons Why We Don't Guarantee Your Rank: We Don't Know How Competitive your Keyword Is. We're just a link building service, not a market research service. Unique Treatment of Phrases by Google. Google does not treat each search phrase the same way. For instance, if your search phrase is phrased as a question, Google will treat your results one way. If Google thinks that users for your phrase are looking for a definition or quote, it'll treat the results another way. If Google thinks that displaying local results is more effective for your term than national or global ones, it will do so. Etc. Inability to Predict Competition. We have no clue what your competitors are doing for their SEO. Maybe they have a 5-figure/month budget? Maybe they don't know what a <title> tag is? We Don't Control the Google SERPs. There is a name for people who claim to "control" Google SERPs - they are called scammers! Even Google search engineers don't "control" the SERPs. They don't choose the placement of each URL individually. The Google algorithm is constantly changing, evolving, being tested, etc. The results aren't even the same from person to person. We believe that making promises or even a claims to "control" the SERPs in perfectly predictable ways is extremely unprofessional, so we just don't do it.
