Seven Years Inside
SaaS Link Building

How the agency actually works, without the marketing gloss.

I sent my first outreach emails in 2019 and most of them were ignored. The few that landed taught me the only lesson that has mattered since: editors don’t link to pitches, they link to things their readers need.

That lesson became the company. Sheikh Shadi is a SaaS link building agency, and since 2019 we’ve earned more than 15,000 editorial backlinks rated DR 50–90+ for 50+ B2B SaaS brands, including SetApp, NordVPN and Testsigma, with placements on HubSpot, Namecheap and Canva. Not one of them came off a list.

I’ve watched those lists collapse in a single Google update and take every client who bought from them down at the same time. So every site clears three bars before we pitch it: at least 2,000 real monthly visitors, a human editor with the power to say no, and a clean outbound profile. Most sites fail that test, which is the point of having it.

What survives it follows the publisher’s own editorial policy, carries a 6-month replacement guarantee, and is billed only once the link is live. If it never goes live, you never pay for it.

Most agencies sell you SEO. I’d rather show you the exact number of links standing between you and the sites outranking you, then go earn them.

  • Human editor approval

The SaaS Playbook

SaaS Link Building,
Seven Ways

Four core playbooks and three specialist services, one standard: real links on real sites that lift Google rankings and get your brand cited across AI search.

Editor Approved

Every link is a real editorial placement earned from a trusted publisher, never bought from a link farm.

Editorial Standards

Placements follow each publisher's editorial policy, and every placement is reviewed by a human editor before it goes live.

Built to Last

Real content on real sites, so every placement reads as editorial, not as manipulation.

Editorial Link Building

Your content is pitched to the editors who already rank for your keywords. When their article links to you, you earn a link from a page readers and search engines already trust.

High Authority · High Relevance
2

Guest Posting

Original articles published under real editorial review, on the platforms your buyers already read. Every post links from context, never a throwaway bio box.

Real Articles · Real Impact
3

Brand Mentions & AI Citations

When buyers ask ChatGPT or Perplexity for the best tool in your category, the answer draws on mentions across trusted sites. We build those mentions on purpose.

Step 01Link Gap Audit

We analyze your backlink profile against the sites holding the top 3 positions for your money keywords, then tell you exactly how many links — and at what DR — it takes to catch them.

2

Step 02Strategy & Target Mapping

We map target pages, anchor-text distribution, and DR thresholds to your revenue keywords. The plan is built to close your gap, page by page.

3

Step 03Relationship Outreach

We don't cold-pitch strangers. Seven years of outreach means the editors already answer our emails — no PBNs, no link farms, no automated placement.

4

Step 04Live Tracking & Reporting

Every placement appears in your live report with DR, traffic, and anchor — verified by third-party monitoring. Monthly reviews track how placements correlate with rankings, traffic, and signups.

Our focus is simple: build the right links that drive rankings, traffic, and real revenue growth.

What the $10K Agencies
Won’t Offer You

We know which publications your buyers read, because we’ve been placing links in them since 2019.

Most premium agencies charge $10,000+/month on retainer whether links land or not. You pay us per delivered, verified link, starting at $1,800/month.

15,000+ links built, including placements on HubSpot, Namecheap, and Canva that most agencies pitch for years and never land.

Every site must clear four bars: 2,000+ real monthly visitors, a human editor who says no, niche relevance, and a clean outbound profile. Most sites fail.

If a link is removed within 6 months, we replace it with equal-or-better metrics free, or refund it. Undelivered links are refunded in full.

Agencies hand us fulfillment under NDA. Your logo on the reports, our relationships doing the work. Real-time third-party link monitoring, and no long-term contract required.

SaaS Link Building FAQ: Everything You Need to Know

Link Building:

What is SaaS link building?

SaaS link building is the process of earning backlinks from high-authority, software-relevant websites to improve a SaaS company’s search rankings, organic traffic, and AI visibility. Unlike generic link building, it targets the tech publications and B2B audiences that software buyers, and AI answer engines, actually trust.

Yes, arguably more than ever. AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews tend to reference sources they can corroborate, and editorial backlinks from trusted publications are one of the signals that can help. The same links that lift your Google rankings also increase how often your brand is mentioned and cited in AI answers.

Our SaaS link building plans start at $1,800/month for 10 DR 50+ links and scale to $7,500/month for 30 DR 70+ links. Premium placements cost $1,500 for 3 DR 80+ links or $3,000 for 3 DR 90+ links. Every link is placed on a real website with 2,000+ monthly organic visitors, with attributes that follow the publisher’s editorial policy, and covered by our 6-month guarantee.

Most clients see measurable ranking improvements within 60–90 days, with compounding traffic growth from month four onward. Link building is cumulative — the authority you build this quarter keeps lifting your rankings and AI citations long after the links go live.

We build links through relationship-based outreach to editors and SEO managers at established publications. Our two core methods are niche edits (adding your link to existing, already-ranking articles) and guest posts (original articles published under editorial review). No PBNs, no link farms, no automated link placement.

It depends on your link gap, the difference between your backlink profile and the sites holding the top 3 positions for your keywords. Most competitive SaaS keywords need 10–40 quality referring domains to a target page. We measure your exact gap in the kickoff audit and build the plan around it: one DR 80 editorial link can outweigh dozens of weak ones.

Every prospect site must pass our quality filter before we pitch: 2,000+ monthly organic visitors, genuine editorial standards, niche relevance to your product, and a clean outbound link profile. You see the metrics of every placement in your live report, verified by third-party link monitoring.

We protect your site by using only relationship-based outreach to real publications with genuine editorial review — no PBNs, no link farms, no automated link placement. Since 2019, our clients have held their rankings through Google’s core updates, because links earned through real editorial decisions are the kind that last.

Fast. We start with a 10-minute call to align on goals, and your campaign kicks off the next day. Prospecting and outreach begin immediately, with first placements typically live within 7 days, every link tracked in your transparent report.

Sheikh Shadi is a SaaS-focused link building agency founded in 2019, trusted by 50+ brands including SetApp, NordVPN, and Testsigma, with placements earned on HubSpot, Namecheap, and Canva. You pay only for delivered links, stay on month-to-month terms, and every link carries a 6-month guarantee, rated 4.9/5 on DesignRush and 5.0/5 on Clutch.

Payments, Contracts & Guarantees

What exactly does your 6-month link guarantee cover?

Every link is guaranteed live for 6 months. If a link is removed, we replace it with a placement of equal or better metrics at no cost. If we cannot replace it, you are refunded for that link. Link attributes always follow the publisher’s editorial policy. Any link we fail to deliver is refunded in full.

No. All plans are month-to-month with no long-term commitment, pause or stop whenever you like. If you prefer to commit, paying 3 months in advance earns a 10% discount. We keep clients with results, not contracts.

Yes. Agencies hand us link building fulfillment under their own brand: NDA available, reports carry your logo, third-party link monitoring included, and no long-term contract required. See our white label link building service for details.

You stay in control at every step: we share sample reports from recent campaigns before you start, you can review and approve content drafts, and every live placement appears in your transparent report with full metrics. To protect our publisher relationships we do not share full site lists upfront, but you never pay for a link you cannot verify.

Simple: you only pay for links that are delivered and stay live. A removed link is replaced with equal-or-better metrics or refunded. An undelivered link is refunded in full. The guarantee runs 6 months from the day each link goes live.
