Grow your authority on autopilot

Backlinks are still one of Google's strongest signals.

Great content sits on page three without authority behind it. PR Link Building earns the high-quality, relevant backlinks that tell Google — and the AI engines — that your business is the trusted answer.

Real editorial authority

Links from publications that actually carry weight — real editorial sites at DR/DA 30+, not private blog networks or directory junk that Google ignores or penalizes.

Done for you, at scale

Cortex AI outreach agents research your niche and pitch relevant, high-authority publications every month — the volume a manual team could never hit, with zero outreach work on your end.

Total transparency

A live dashboard shows every placement, its domain authority, and its impact on your rankings and traffic. You see exactly what your investment earned.

Relevant link opportunities

Links from sites that actually matter to your business.

Cortex analyzes your trade, your market, and your existing backlink profile, then targets high-authority publications relevant to home services — so every link is contextual and credible, the kind that moves rankings instead of raising flags.

Industry & niche analysis

We map your trade, services, and service area so every target publication is contextually relevant — not a random high-DA site with nothing to do with home services.

Competitor gap analysis

We look at who's linking to the contractors outranking you and find the authority sources you're missing.

Relevance-first targeting

Authority plus relevance is what moves rankings. We prioritize links that are both credible and on-topic for your business.

Outreach at scale

Hundreds of publications pitched — without you lifting a finger.

Cortex AI outreach agents handle the entire motion: building media lists, personalizing every pitch, following up, and tracking responses across hundreds of relevant sites. It runs continuously — not as a one-time blast — so your authority keeps compounding month after month.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is PR Link Building?

PR Link Building earns editorial backlinks from real, authoritative publications (DR/DA 30+) that point to your site. Those links build the domain authority that drives higher Google rankings and stronger visibility in AI search engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity.

How much does PR Link Building cost?

$600 per link, with one published press release included every 12 active months — the Authority & Reputation bundle. There are no long-term contracts — you choose how many placements you want each month and scale up or down as you go.

Are these real editorial links or a private blog network?

Real editorial links only. We place on genuine, authoritative publications at DR/DA 30+ — never private blog networks, link farms, or directory junk that Google ignores or penalizes.

Do I have to do any outreach?

No. It's fully done-for-you. Cortex AI outreach agents research your niche and pitch relevant, high-authority publications every month, so you do zero outreach work.

How does link building help with AI search?

AI answer engines weigh authority and citations heavily when deciding which businesses to surface. Editorial links from trusted publications are a strong authority signal, making your business more likely to be cited in AI-generated answers.

Can I see what I'm getting?

Yes. A live dashboard shows every placement, its domain authority, and its impact on your rankings and traffic — so you see exactly what your investment earned.

How it actually works

The mechanics, step by step

  1. 1

    Real editorial placements

    Stories pitched to real publications with DA 30+ — home-improvement press, local news, trade media — earning links that carry genuine authority.

  2. 2

    Anchored to your proof

    Pitches lead with what's true and interesting about your business: launches, community work, expertise, data. Coverage that reads like news, because it is.

  3. 3

    Links land on pages that matter

    Placements point at your money pages and authority hubs — not just the homepage — spreading equity where rankings pay.

  4. 4

    Reported with receipts

    Every placement is listed with the live URL and its authority metrics. You can click every link we bill for.

Our approach

How we think about this work

Authority can't be faked anymore — PBNs and link farms are penalties waiting to fire. Editorial links from real publications are slower and harder, which is exactly why they work.

PR compounds with the rest of the system: coverage feeds your press page, your review wall, your AI-search citations, and your sales deck all at once.

Where it fits in your plan

Tiers, maintenance & credits

The Authority & Reputation plan runs month-to-month at $600 per link, and every 12 active months includes one professionally written, distributed, and published press release ($500 value) — links and press in one motion. It's most effective layered on a build with authority architecture already in place (Starter and up), where new equity has somewhere to land.
