I have been in business for over 10 Years and recently moved to AGR Technology for all our IT needs. They are able to fix nearly anything remotely and always very helpful in recommending appropriate hardware upgrades that do the job as required but not costing more than needed.
Alessio provided an excellent service. He was very dedicated in his method of finding solutions to problems. He continued to try different avenues until he found the reason as to why a particular application was not working. He was very knowledgeable in his understanding of the internet and of applications and how they work, and he was able to apply this knowledge in understanding how to resolve the obstacles that continued to appear. He is understanding towards his client's needs and goals and he is willing to work with his client in achieving those goals.

Alessio from AGR Technology has recently helped me create a website for my business.
Throughout the whole process from start to finish Alessio made the process easy for me, by calling me and explaining each step of the way. I'm not very computer savvy, but with Alessio taking the time to explain in detail everything I needed to know from putting inventory in to having it shipped. He even remotely joined my computer to help guide me through everything.
He's very knowledgeable and is experienced in everything I needed and if there was anything else I needed to know that wasn't something he was familiar with, he researched it.
I would HIGHLY recommend Alessio to anyone. He has not only helped me for now but I know that if I ever needed help with anything else he would definitely go above and beyond to help. Thank you so much for everything you have done. It's been a long process but well worth it 🙂

What Are SaaS Link Building Services?
SaaS link building services focus on acquiring high-quality backlinks from authoritative websites to improve your software company’s search engine rankings and online visibility. Unlike generic link building, these services are tailored specifically for the software-as-a-service industry, taking into account the longer sales cycles, technical audiences, and competitive landscapes that define this space.
At its core, link building for SaaS involves earning or securing links from relevant, trustworthy sites that signal to Google your content is valuable and authoritative. These might include:
- Industry publications and SaaS-focused blogs
- Technology news sites and review platforms
- High-authority business and marketing resources
- Academic institutions and research centres
- Partner and integration directories
The goal isn’t just to accumulate links, it’s to build a diverse quality backlink profile that drives organic traffic, improves rankings for competitive keywords, and positions your brand as a thought leader in your niche.
Professional SaaS link building services combine content creation, outreach, digital PR, and relationship building to secure placements that genuinely benefit your business. This isn’t about shortcuts or manipulative tactics. It’s about earning recognition from the right sources in ways that align with Google’s quality guidelines and your long-term growth strategy.
Why Link Building Matters for SaaS Companies
SaaS companies face unique challenges when competing for visibility online. Your potential customers are conducting extensive research before making purchase decisions, often comparing multiple solutions across dozens of touchpoints. If your site doesn’t rank well for key terms, you’re essentially invisible during this critical discovery phase.
Here’s why link building should be a cornerstone of your SaaS marketing strategy:
Authority Directly Impacts Rankings
Google uses backlinks as a primary ranking signal. The more high-quality sites linking to yours, the more Google trusts your content and rewards you with better positions in search results. For competitive SaaS keywords, think “project management software” or “email marketing platform”, strong domain authority is non-negotiable.
Long Sales Cycles Require Sustained Visibility
B2B SaaS buyers don’t convert overnight. They spend weeks or months researching, reading reviews, and consuming educational content. Strategic link building ensures you maintain visibility throughout this journey, appearing in search results, industry roundups, and trusted publications where your prospects are actively looking for information.
Backlinks Drive Qualified Referral Traffic
Beyond SEO benefits, quality backlinks send targeted visitors directly to your site. A feature in a respected SaaS publication or a mention in a popular industry newsletter can generate hundreds of qualified leads who are already interested in solutions like yours.
Competitive Differentiation in Crowded Markets
Most SaaS categories are saturated with competitors fighting for the same keywords. Link building helps you stand out by associating your brand with authoritative voices, demonstrating credibility, and building topical authority that sets you apart from newer or less-established players.
Compounds Over Time
Unlike paid advertising that stops working the moment you pause spending, link building creates lasting value. Each quality backlink continues to benefit your rankings and drive traffic month after month, year after year.
Best Link Building Strategies for SaaS Businesses
Creating High-Value Content for Natural Backlinks
The foundation of any successful SaaS link building campaign is content worth linking to. We’re talking about resources that genuinely help your audience, not thin blog posts or thinly veiled product pitches.
Effective content types include:
- Original research and data studies: Surveys, industry benchmarks, and proprietary data that journalists and bloggers reference
- Comprehensive guides: In-depth resources that become go-to references in your niche
- Tools and calculators: Free, useful utilities that naturally attract links from users and industry sites
- Case studies with concrete results: Real customer stories with specific metrics that demonstrate value
When you create genuinely useful content, outreach becomes easier because you’re offering value rather than asking for favours. At AGR Technology, we help SaaS companies identify content opportunities that align with both their expertise and what their target audience is actively searching for.
Digital PR and Thought Leadership Outreach
Digital PR positions your brand and team members as experts in your field, earning mentions and links from high-authority publications. This strategy works particularly well for SaaS companies because there’s constant demand for expert commentary on technology trends, business challenges, and industry shifts.
Successful digital PR tactics include:
- Responding to journalist queries on platforms like HARO and Qwoted
- Pitching newsworthy angles about your product, customers, or industry insights
- Contributing expert commentary to technology and business publications
- Sharing proprietary data or research findings with journalists
- Building relationships with reporters who cover your industry
Strategic Guest Posting and Partnerships
Guest posting still works, when done right. The focus should be on contributing genuinely valuable content to relevant, high-authority sites where your target audience already spends time.
We help SaaS businesses identify opportunities on:
- Established SaaS and technology blogs
- Marketing, sales, and business operations publications
- Industry-specific resources relevant to your target market
- Partner and integration ecosystem sites
The goal isn’t just to get a link, it’s to reach new audiences, demonstrate expertise, and build relationships with influential site owners and editors who might feature you again in the future.
Leveraging Product Integrations and Reviews
SaaS companies have unique link building opportunities through their product ecosystem. Strategic use of integrations, directories, and review platforms can generate dozens of high-quality backlinks while also driving qualified leads.
Opportunities include:
- Integration marketplaces: Getting listed in partner directories (think Salesforce AppExchange, Shopify App Store, or Zapier’s integration pages)
- Review platforms: Optimising profiles on G2, Capterra, Software Advice, and Trustpilot
- Comparison sites: Being featured in “best of” lists and software comparison articles
- Industry directories: Getting listed in relevant SaaS directories and resource hubs
These placements not only provide valuable backlinks but also appear in searches when prospects are actively evaluating solutions, making them valuable for growth.
Common Link Building Mistakes SaaS Companies Should Avoid
Even well-intentioned SaaS companies can stumble with link building. Here are mistakes we see frequently, and how to avoid them:
Focusing on Quantity Over Quality
It’s tempting to chase high link volumes, but a dozen links from authoritative, relevant sites will outperform hundreds of low-quality directory links. Google’s algorithms are sophisticated enough to recognize and discount low-value links, and in some cases, they can even harm your rankings.
Ignoring Relevance
A backlink from a high-authority site in an unrelated industry provides minimal benefit compared to a link from a moderately authoritative site in your niche. Relevance matters. Links from technology publications, SaaS blogs, and industry-specific resources carry more weight for software companies.
Using Manipulative Tactics
Link schemes, private blog networks, and paid links that don’t follow proper disclosure guidelines can result in Google penalties that tank your rankings. The risk isn’t worth the short-term gain. Stick to white-hat strategies that build sustainable authority.
Not Creating Link-Worthy Content
Outreach alone won’t work if your content isn’t genuinely valuable. Before launching outreach campaigns, invest in creating resources that people actually want to link to and share.
Neglecting Internal Linking
While external backlinks get most of the attention, strategic internal linking helps distribute authority throughout your site and improves rankings for important pages. Don’t overlook this foundational element of technical SEO.
Giving Up Too Soon
Link building is a long game. You won’t see dramatic results overnight. Companies that commit to consistent, quality link building over months and years see compounding benefits that transform their organic visibility.
What to Expect From Professional SaaS Link Building Services
When you partner with a professional agency like AGR Technology for SaaS link building, here’s what the process typically looks like:
Discovery and Strategy Development
We start by understanding your business, target audience, competitive landscape, and current SEO performance. This helps us identify the most valuable link opportunities and develop a customized strategy aligned with your growth goals.
Content Audit and Creation
We review your existing content to identify link-worthy assets and create new resources where gaps exist. This might include research reports, comprehensive guides, tools, or case studies designed to attract natural backlinks.
Targeted Outreach Campaigns
Our team conducts strategic outreach to relevant publications, bloggers, journalists, and industry influencers. We personalize every pitch, focusing on building genuine relationships rather than sending generic link requests.
Digital PR and Media Placements
We actively seek opportunities to position your brand in high-authority publications through expert commentary, contributed articles, and newsworthy stories.
Ongoing Monitoring and Optimization
Link building isn’t set-and-forget. We continuously monitor your backlink profile, identify new opportunities, and adjust strategies based on what’s working best for your specific situation.
Transparent Reporting
You’ll receive regular reports detailing links acquired, key metrics, and the impact on your rankings and organic traffic. We believe in full transparency so you can see exactly how your investment is performing.
Our approach is hands-on, strategic, and results-focused. We don’t rely on automated tools or outsource to low-cost providers. Every link we pursue is evaluated for quality, relevance, and potential impact on your business goals.
Measuring Link Building Success for Your SaaS Business
How do you know if your link building efforts are working? Here are the key metrics we track to measure success:
Domain Authority and Domain Rating
These metrics (from Moz and Ahrefs respectively) provide a snapshot of your site’s overall authority. While not direct Google ranking factors, they correlate strongly with rankings and help gauge progress over time.
Ranking Improvements for Target Keywords
Eventually, link building should improve your rankings for keywords that drive business results. We track position changes for your priority terms and monitor how new backlinks impact visibility.
Organic Traffic Growth
More authority and better rankings should translate to increased organic traffic. We monitor traffic trends and attribute growth to specific link building initiatives where possible.
Referral Traffic from Backlinks
High-quality backlinks send qualified visitors directly to your site. We track referral traffic from acquired links to understand their direct impact beyond SEO benefits.
Link Quality Metrics
We evaluate each link based on:
- Domain authority of the linking site
- Relevance to your industry and target audience
- Placement and context within the content
- Traffic potential of the linking page
- Follow vs. nofollow status
Conversion Impact
The ultimate measure of success is business impact. We work with you to understand how improved organic visibility and referral traffic affect lead generation, trial sign-ups, and revenue.
At AGR Technology, we provide comprehensive reporting on all these metrics, helping you understand not just what we’re doing but how it’s contributing to your growth objectives.
