Linkifi
Detailed Description
Linkifi is a digital PR link building agency that focuses on securing backlinks from major, high-domain authority (DA/DR) media outlets in the US and UK through direct journalist outreach. Their model is built around a pure "earned media" approach — pitching client expertise to journalists, editors, and media outlets without paid placements or PBNs (Private Blog Networks).
The agency uses strategies similar to Help a Reporter Out (HARO) and other media request services but executes at scale through systematic outreach campaigns. Linkifi's core promise is quality: guaranteeing an average Domain Rating (DR) of 70+ across secured links and emphasizing white-hat SEO practices. Clients come from diverse industries including finance, SaaS, health, fitness, marketing, and e-commerce — typically growth-stage brands seeking to boost their domain authority, organic rankings, and brand credibility through reputable backlinks.
Key Features

- Journalist Outreach Campaigns: Proactive pitching of client quotes, expertise, or content ideas directly to journalists and media gatekeepers.
- Syndication Benefits: Placements on syndicating sites (e.g., NASDAQ articles syndicated to Yahoo Finance) often deliver bonus links at no extra charge.
- White-Hat SEO: Fully organic link acquisition — no paid links, link exchanges, or spammy tactics.
- Real-Time Client Dashboard: Clients receive live updates when new links go live, with full reporting of DR metrics, publication names, and URL placements.

User Feedback
Expert Endorsements: Highly positive testimonials from SEO industry veterans like Charles Floate, Jon Dykstra, and Mike Futia.
Case Studies: Published real-world case studies show impressive average DRs of 79–84 and strong improvements in domain authority and rankings.
Third-Party Reviews: No formal reviews yet on G2, Capterra, Trustpilot, or Clutch. User feedback is mainly sourced through independent blogs, YouTube reviews, and SEO podcasts. Clients consistently highlight Linkifi’s ability to deliver extremely high-authority links that would be nearly impossible to secure through traditional outreach alone. The major trade-offs are price and patience — it’s a high-investment, long-term SEO play rather than a quick backlink fix.
