Link Building Specialist
Mount Dev Solutions is working with a reputable SEO/link-building agency in the UK and is seeking a full-time, resilient, and self-driven Link Building Specialist to join our team. In this role, you will be responsible for building links for our clients across every industry we serve, covering link insertions, guest posts, brand mentions, and citations, so that our clients gain visibility in both traditional search results and artificial intelligence search answers. We are looking for a reliable individual with quick communication skills who can efficiently handle various tasks in a dynamic environment.
Responsibilities:
Prospecting and Qualifying Websites:
◦ Research and build lists of relevant, high-quality websites for each client campaign, using Ahrefs,
Semrush, and manual review.
◦ Assess every prospect for topical relevance, traffic quality, outbound link patterns, and any sign of
a link network, and reject anything that would put a client at risk.
Outreach and Negotiation:
◦ Contact website owners and editors, present the opportunity clearly, and negotiate placement
terms and pricing within the agreed budget.
◦ Maintain a steady pipeline of live conversations, following up consistently so that campaigns
never stall.
◦ Build long-term relationships with reliable website owners so that repeat placements become
faster and cheaper over time.
Link Insertions and Niche Edits:
◦ Insert new backlinks and make text edits to new website orders as requested by the backlink and
marketing teams.
◦ Place links in genuinely relevant existing articles, with natural surrounding copy and anchor text
that matches the client brief.
Writing and Publishing Guest Posts:
◦ Write guest post articles from scratch, in clear and professional English, matching the tone and
editorial standards of the host site.
◦ Research each topic properly, so that the article is genuinely useful and stands up to editorial
review.
◦ Place client links naturally within the article, with anchor text that matches the client brief.
◦ Manage the publication process for guest posts, ensuring they are correctly formatted and
published on time.
Brand Mentions and Citations for Artificial Intelligence Search:
◦ Secure unlinked and linked brand mentions on sources that artificial intelligence search platforms
read and cite, including listicles, comparison pages, and industry roundups.
◦ Build and maintain business citations and profile listings so that client brand details are consistent
everywhere they appear.
◦ Track where client brands are being cited in artificial intelligence answers, and target the sources
that are actually influencing those answers.
Order Fulfilment and Quality Control:
◦ Engage with website owners via email to coordinate and make orders live on their respective
sites.
◦ Check every live placement for the correct anchor text, destination page, indexability, and follow
status before marking an order complete.
◦ Chase and replace placements that are removed, changed, or set to no-follow after going live.
Reporting and Measurement:
◦ Keep order trackers and client records accurate and up to date at all times.
◦ Prepare clear monthly summaries of the links built, the sites used, and the results achieved.
Communicating with Internal Teams:
◦ Collaborate with internal teams to align on administrative tasks, reporting requests, and the
strategy and planning of the link building campaigns.
Communicating with Clients:
◦ Keep clients updated on campaign progress, live placements, and timelines, proactively rather
than only when asked.
◦ Answer client questions on target pages, anchor text, and site selection, and obtain approvals
before work goes live.
◦ Raise delays, rejections, and any issue a client will not be pleased about early, rather than letting it
appear in a report.
Professional, Responsive Email Management:
◦ Respond to internal and client emails promptly, keeping every request, revision, and approval
moving without delay.
◦ Write in clear, professional English, so that every message reflects well on the agency and leaves
no room for misunderstanding.
◦ Keep the inbox organised and under control, so that nothing is missed, forgotten, or left
unanswered.
Qualifications:
• Previous experience in link building, digital public relations, or outreach is preferred.
• Practical experience with Ahrefs or Semrush, and the judgement to tell a genuinely useful site from one that only looks good on paper.
• Confident written English, both for outreach emails that people actually reply to and for guest post
articles that editors accept.
• Working knowledge of WordPress and comfort making simple content edits without breaking a layout.
• An informed interest in how artificial intelligence search engines select, cite, and reference sources.
• Strong attention to detail and proficiency in managing website content.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, for effective collaboration with internal teams and external stakeholders.
• Ability to work independently and prioritize tasks efficiently in a fast-paced environment.
• Familiarity with email management tools and CRM software for efficient communication and task
management.
• Demonstrated accountability and reliability in meeting deadlines and delivering high-quality work.
Attributes:
• Resilient attitude towards challenges encountered in outreach and link building, including a high volume of rejections and non-responses.
• Self-driven and proactive in identifying and resolving issues efficiently.
• Accountable for the timely completion of tasks and the accuracy of every live placement.
• Reliable and committed to ensuring a positive experience for both internal and external stakeholders.
• Quick communicator with the ability to respond promptly to inquiries and requests.
• Goal-driven, with a focus on hitting agreed targets and deadlines rather than simply completing tasks.
• Curious about search engine and artificial intelligence developments, and willing to test new
approaches rather than waiting to be told.
Benefits:
• Competitive salary with opportunities for performance-based incentives.
• Flexible work arrangements with partial remote work options.
• Opportunities for professional development and growth within the company.
• Supportive work culture that values collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement.
Experience:
• Two to three years of experience in search engine optimisation, link building, guest posting, or outreach.
• Experience with brand mentions and citations for artificial intelligence search is an advantage rather
than a requirement.
