SaaS case studies for link building, referring domains, and page-level rankings

SaaS link building case studies

This hub shows real outcomes from backlink services for SaaS brands. You will see changes in referring domains, links to target pages, anchor text mix, and results that show up in rankings, organic traffic, signups, and leads. Each case study is written so you can trace the work back to link types like manual outreach, guest post backlinks, niche edits, resource page links, and digital PR placements.

Filter is visual only. Use it as a pattern if you want to connect real data later.

How we run SaaS link building

SaaS sites usually win when links support pages tied to revenue, like product pages, integrations, pricing pages, and comparison pages. We also watch anchors, link attributes, index status, and the pace your backlink profile can handle.

01 • Audit

Backlink audit and target page map

We review referring domains, anchor text ratios, and link attributes, then map the pages that should rank. If you have old spammy links, start with disavow and cleanup.

02 • Relevance

Prospecting by topic and intent

We look for sites that match your SaaS category and the intent of your target page. For link types, see manual outreach and guest post backlinks.

03 • Reporting

Proof-first delivery

Every placement ships with a live URL, target URL, anchor used, and link attribute. See how we do it on reporting.
