Developing tailored link building strategies.
Plenty of SEO experts have claimed that link building is dead in recent years.

Best Practices for Link Building.
Despite increasing complexity in how search engines rank websites in organic search, the basic principles when it comes to link building are still relevancy and authority, despite the hundreds of other signals used by major search engines like Google.
Google quite often release minor updates to their algorithm to ensure the most relevant and best websites appear for each query, but the ones we look out for most are ‘core algorithm updates’. These core updates tend to shake up the index as you see websites that have implemented spammy tactics drop out of Google for their core terms/keywords. The processes we undertake ensure that we actually, mainly see only positives from core updates as we only acquire links that are of value to our client’s websites.
