Link building faq

RankBay is a link building service that helps businesses and SEO agencies acquire high-quality backlinks from relevant websites. We handle the prospecting, publisher outreach, placement coordination, and reporting.

RankBay is designed for businesses, SEO teams, agencies, and marketers that want to build backlinks without managing prospecting and outreach themselves.

Every RankBay placement must meet our minimum requirements of DR 40+ and 3,000+ monthly organic visitors, based on Ahrefs data. We also evaluate the website’s relevance and overall quality before pursuing a placement.

Domain Rating (DR) is an Ahrefs metric that estimates the strength of a website’s backlink profile on a scale from 0 to 100. We use DR as one of several factors when evaluating potential publishers.

We use Ahrefs to evaluate a website’s estimated monthly organic search traffic. Our minimum requirement is 3,000 monthly organic visitors.
