Linkflow is a link-building service geared towards the software and tech industry that helps clients increase traffic and revenues through high-quality link-building and SEO strategy.
A year or so ago, Linkflow had a healthcare software company as a client that wanted to rank for super competitive terms but was sitting on page three of Google — and getting basically no clicks. Linkflow helped them 10x their traffic and outrank Wikipedia and The New York Times in six months.
Linkflow began because they heard so many horror stories and experienced firsthand shady link builders who were not transparent and provided low-quality links…with little care as to the impact the links have on the site.
