Toxic links can crush your online presence. As part of our link building service, we audit your entire link profile from top to bottom. Each audit targets broken backlinks, those that search engines might define as spam, and low-quality links.
After identifying and eradicating weaknesses in your link profile, we turn our attention to strengths. Our goal is to build on any work you’ve already started. If not, we’ll create a solid foundation from which we can launch an effective, non-toxic link building strategy.
Technology is great, but it can only take you so far. Our experts have long-term relationships with over 10,000 publishers around the world. These relationships allow us to put links on high-authority websites spanning a host of industries.
ICS-digital is more than a link building agency. From our UK headquarters, we have a network of more than 300 international writers. Our writers are experts in their fields, which allows us to publish over 2,500 high-quality articles every month.These articles are integral to our link building service. Not only do they generate traffic for the sites on which they’re hosted, but they also earn high-quality backlinks. We can also provide additional services, such as bespoke content, to bolster your link building strategy.
A link building strategy is only as good as its results. Devising a plan is only part of the process. Effective strategies are dynamic. Things change based on feedback and data.That’s why we conduct regular audits as part of our link building service. When changes are needed, we make them. That’s what separates us from companies that use copy-and-paste templates. We also keep you in the loop. Alongside performance reports, we can provide updates, listen to feedback, and make changes as required.

Local results are returned when search engines determine that users are looking for businesses within their proximity. And, according to some studies, almost half of all web searches now carry ‘local intent’. For that reason, ensuring your business has a strong geographical, as well as digital, footprint is crucial to being noticed in your area.
Google’s ranking system introduces plenty of additional considerations when it comes to classifying local results. While following general SEO best practices certainly won’t hurt your business’s website, you’ll need to go the extra mile to find similar success in local search.
According to Google, local results are based mainly on ‘relevance, distance and prominence’ - with businesses that exhibit a combination of all three being more likely to be prioritised in response to a user’s query.
At ICS-digital, we’ve spent years digging deep into search engines’ algorithms, arming ourselves with an expert understanding that allows our clients to thrive in organic search. That’s also given us decades’ worth of experience in local SEO, with the ability to recommend - and implement - practical solutions aimed at improving your business’s relevance, distance and prominence in the eyes of both users and search engines.
