Can I approve the article before publication?

You’ll normally be able to review factual information relating to your business, but the publisher retains editorial control over the final content. We can’t offer pre-publication sign-off on opinions or conclusions — editorial independence is what gives the review its value.

How does the branded review service work?

You choose your DR tiers and quantities, then submit your target URL, the product or service to be reviewed and your key selling points through our order form. We source a relevant publisher, prepare a factually accurate draft, and the publisher edits and publishes the finished review. Every placement passes our 23-point quality control and is delivered with the live URL. Most orders complete within 21 days.

Will branded reviews help me show up in ChatGPT and AI search?

Yes — that’s what they’re designed for. Independent editorial reviews give search engines and AI systems another trusted source discussing your brand, products and unique strengths. When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity whether you’re any good, published third-party coverage is the material those answers are built from — and fresh, crawlable reviews on trusted sites feed Google’s AI Overviews too.

What if the publisher does not want to review my business?

We carefully select publishers whose audience and editorial focus are relevant to your industry. If a placement isn’t suitable, we’ll source an alternative publication that matches our quality standards.

Will my clients be happy with these placements?

Yes — agencies use us precisely because placements are client-presentable. You receive the live URL and full metrics for every review, the coverage sits on a genuine, quality-checked website, and the editorial independence behind it is something you can defend in any client meeting.

The AI SEO Shift

Why Branded Review Link Building Matters More Than Ever Before.

Customers don’t click ten blue links like they used to. They ask ChatGPT whether you’re any good before they spend money, or they accept the answer that Google gives them at the top of the search results. Most searches don’t end with a click on your website.

Google and the other search engines build those AI generated answers from third-party editorial coverage and brand mentions. Either that third-party opinion about your business exists, or you don’t exist when buyers are making their decision.

Brand Review Link Building

Why Our Branded Reviews Are Better

We only need to know three things to start your link building campaign: what needs reviewing, what URL to link to, and your primary selling points. From there, we find you an appropriate publisher, create a factually accurate draft, and send the link placement through our rigorous link building quality control process. The publisher maintains editorial control throughout, and that’s what makes the review credible.

A Full Standalone Brand Review

Your review will be a standalone piece focused on your business. We cover your features and benefits in depth instead of your company being shoehorned into someone else's post, as happens with classic link building and guest posting.

Editorial Independence

The publisher has the final say on the content that runs and the conclusions drawn. When a third party gives your business a thumbs up, that's what makes the coverage credible to readers, search engines and AI.

No Duplicate Links

We guarantee that you will not have any inbound links from that domain before your review is published. Fresh features each time and every placement adds new referring domains.

100% Real Organic Traffic

All our publisher sites drive real organic traffic from search engines. No bot traffic. No private blog networks and no link farms.

Human Verified Content

Our drafts undergo a verification process with Originality.ai to ensure 100% human-written content that meets E-E-A-T standards for search engine optimization.

Genuine Manual Outreach

We build actual relationships with the publishers, which most link building providers never do. You won't get reviews on shady websites with no organic traffic.

No "Write For Us" Pages

We won't reach out to sites that have a “write for us” page. They're simply too risky for your link profile, are typically content farms, and are the backbone of black hat link building and cheap link building tactics.

Strict Quality Control

We perform a 23-point technical audit on each link placement to ensure quality and that your high quality backlinks pass true authority to your key pages.

How It Works

Our streamlined process delivers independent editorial coverage of your business with minimal effort on your part.

Submit Your Order

Pick your DR tiers and quantities via our interface or monthly link building packages and provide us with your target URL, the product or service you want reviewed, and your key selling points with our order form.

Negotiate Placements

Our manual outreach experts secure placement for your review with a qualified publisher who meets or exceeds the DR tiers you ordered, with domain authority verified by Ahrefs.

Placement Search

Our editorial team evaluates your business, product or service and sources potential publishers on relevant websites who may be interested in running an unbiased review of your business.

Order Verification

Our team will review your order form to ensure your business is a good fit for editorial coverage and aligns with our white hat link building standards.

Draft, Edit & Publish Your Review

We write your business up into a 1,000+ word factually accurate draft, verified by Originality.ai. The publisher will edit the draft as they wish, including final content and conclusions, and list the review on their site.

Strict Quality Control Process

We run each placement through our 23-point quality control process to ensure your placement meets our quality standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a branded review?

A branded review is an independent editorial review of your business, product or service, that we place on a relevant third-party website that attracts genuine organic traffic.

We coordinate the coverage, compile a factually accurate draft and verify the link placement with our 23-point quality control system. The publisher makes the final editorial decisions and the finished review will include a dofollow link to your key pages.

Classic link building tactics like guest posting and niche edits put your link inside content about a topic. A brand review puts the spotlight on your business itself.

Do you guarantee a positive review?

No. Publishers have editorial independence, so we can’t control specific ratings, recommendations or conclusions.

You’re paying to have the opportunity to be independently reviewed – not to purchase a specific rating.

If you are not confident that your product/service can earn positive editorial reviews then this service is not for you.

Is this the same as buying Google or Trustpilot reviews?

No. This service ONLY places independent editorial reviews on relevant third-party websites.

It does not place customer reviews on Google, Trust Pilot, Yelp or any other online review platform – these are editorial reviews, not fake customer reviews.

Posting fake reviews to platforms violates their terms of service. Editorial reviews build your brands web presence and search visibility legitimately.

Who writes the review content?

Our in house content and link building team drafts a factually accurate, 1,000+ word article that has been human verified with Originality.ai.

The publisher will edit and mold the article as they wish – they have complete editorial control of the content, tone and conclusions.

That’s what allows the review to be trusted by readers, Google and AI search engines.

Is it possible to approve the review before it is published?

You will normally be able to confirm factual data about your business prior to publication, but the publisher has final editorial control of the content.

We do not allow pre-publication approval on opinions or conclusions drawn by the publisher – that editorial independence is what gives the review credibility.

Can I request corrections to the review after it's published?

Yes, if there are incorrect facts stated about your business we will work with the publisher to get it changed.
What we can’t change is the publisher’s opinion.

How does the brand review link building process work?

Select your desired DR tiers and quantities, fill out our order form with your target URL, product/service to be reviewed, and key selling points.

We find an applicable publisher, write a factually accurate draft, which the publisher then edits and publishes.

Every site goes through our 23-point quality control checklist before delivery with live URL. Order fulfillment typically takes less than 21 days.

Can I see the sites before we order?

No – similar to other link building services here at LinksThatRank we do not show our sites before purchasing.

This allows us to maintain publisher relationships and prevent our vetted list of sites from being scraped.

What we can promise is that every site will meet your requested DR tier, have verified organic traffic in Ahrefs, and pass our 23-point quality control process.

Are branded reviews safe?

Yes. Every link undergoes our stringent quality assurance process, which includes 100% real websites with organic traffic, no PBNs, no “write for us” websites, no directory submissions, and no marketplace-listed websites.

Each site also goes through a 23-point technical review.

And because branded reviews are published editorial content rather than manufactured customer reviews, you avoid the risk of sudden policy changes from review platforms.

Independent third-party coverage is one of the safest high quality links you can acquire on the internet.

Why do you run a blacklist?

Because most link spam lives on a surprisingly small set of domains. Our blacklist currently covers 84,000+ sites, including private blog networks, cold-outreach resellers, public marketplaces, known link schemes and sites failing our QC. That ensures your review never appears anywhere Google can devalue your site.

Can I choose the anchor text for my review link?

Since the publisher maintains editorial control over review links, you’ll see a lot of branded/natural anchor text rather than exact match keywords you would use in a normal link.

This is actually a good thing. Branded links from high authority websites is one of the best link signals there is, and helps your link profile avoid tightly over-optimized anchor text phrases that trigger filters.

If you really need stricter anchor text parameters, our guest posts and link inserts allow way more control over anchor text than your average brand review would.

What makes you one of the best link building services?

We’re not the cheapest on our pricing page, and we don’t try to be. Cheap means shortcuts, shortcuts get you penalised down the road.

Instead, we pride ourselves on providing quality link building services that generic cheap link building companies cut corners on.

Human quality checks on every link placement, verifying every metric in Ahrefs, thoroughly vetting every site through our blacklist. That’s why other SEO agencies who’ve tried every so-called ‘Best Link Building Company’ end up here building links with us.

We do strategic link building and focus on quality links rather than spammy marketplace or directory links from any site we can find. Every step of our link-building process is optimized to deliver quality backlinks you’d be proud to send to a client.

How long will it take to complete my order?

Most orders are ready within 31 days.

Larger link building campaigns can take up to 42 days as we space placements out naturally over time.

NEED IT FASTER? We can offer an Express Delivery upgrade service to get your review links live faster.

What guarantees do you offer?

Every review published will always be on:

A real website with real domain authority and organic traffic.
A site that is niche-relevant.
Contains 1000+ words of unique human-written content.
Content that is Originality AI verified as human.
In-depth review of your brand and features
A page that includes your dofollow link
Passes a 23-point quality control review before going live.
If a placement ever drops within a year, we replace it.

What we don’t guarantee is fixed ratings (e.g. 10/10), specific recommendations, or conclusions. Editorial control never belongs to us.

It’s the only way the reviews can be genuine and avoid being flagged as part of a link scheme.

Will branded reviews help me show up in ChatGPT & AI search?

Yes. That’s their purpose.

Editorial reviews provide another trustworthy source for search engines and AI systems to talk about your brand, products and unique value.

When prospects ask “Hey ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity, is COMPANY ABC any good?”, the articles those bots compile their AI generated answers from are published third-party reviews and brand mentions.

And those AI chat engines aren’t the only ones using published reviews as source material.

Google’s AI Overviews do too, which is why having fresh reviews on Google crawlable, authoritative websites helps.

Do branded reviews help my Google rankings too?

Yes. Each review is a dofollow link from a relevant, authority page, which is exactly the ranking signal our guest posting placements provide.

Reviews also have the benefit of potentially ranking for “[company name] review” searches, some of the highest purchase intent search rankings there are.

So when buyers look for reviews on your brand, these features show up in the organic search results, drive referral traffic, and inform AI overviews.

What’s the difference between a review, a listicle and a guest post?

Guest posts are long-form articles related to a specific topic that allow for natural links back to your site.
Listicles focus on buyer-intent visibility and boost AI citations / recommendations.
A branded review focuses ENTIRELY on your business in an independent editorial piece.

Think of it like this:

Reviews = brand-level trust – feeds the ‘is [brand] legit’ searches
Listicles = comparison authority- feeds the ‘best [service/product] for [use]’ searches
Guest posts = topical authority (when you include links).

The ideal profile has all three, and shapes the narrative in organic and AI search.

What if the publisher doesn’t want to review my business?

We only approach publishers on relevant websites who we think match your industry based on audience and editorial fit.

If your placement isn’t approved, we’ll find an alternative publication we like just as much.

Do you offer white label link building for agencies?

Yes. SEO agencies choose us because the link placements are ready to show to clients.

You get the live URL and all metrics for each review placement, the coverage lives on a real reputable website that has been quality checked, and you can explain the editorial independence behind it to any client.

Everything we do is white labeled with clear reporting so agencies with multiple clients can market our work as their own link building provider. That is how we became the go-to link building agency for many of the best link building agencies you know.

Are there any discounts available?

Yes – our monthly review link building packages offer 10% off every tier:

$249/month instead of $277 on DR 20-34.
$303/month instead of $337 on DR 35-49.
$375/month instead of $417 on DR 50-80.

Monthly link building packages have no contract and can be paused or canceled anytime.

What forms of payment do you accept?

We take all major credit and debit cards through Stripe, with transparent pricing and no hidden fees. We do not accept PayPal.

How many links do I need, and how do I measure link building success?

Depends where you’re starting from. A page that starts with zero inbound links needs a different link building campaign to one already ranking on page one, so how many links you “should” buy is really a question of how far behind the sites ranking above you are.

As a rough rule of thumb though, sites with low domain authority should look to be building links month after month, rather than all at once. That’s why our link building packages are monthly.

When it comes to reviews specifically, you want to match how many competitors have to keep your growth natural.

So how can you measure link building success? Search visibility and rankings for your target terms is one way, monitoring organic traffic to the key pages you are building links to, as well as referral traffic from each placement. You should also watch the rate of new referring domains you acquire over time.

The number one mistake with link building is people only place one order. Month over month link acquisition is what affects search rankings. Pages that have 0 inbound links when you start will take the longest to see results, so start building links early.

Do branded reviews replace my other link building strategies?

No. What reviews do that no other link building tactic can is showcase an independent opinion of your business to both buyers and AI models at the moment they need it most.

Reviews also have a longer reach than a normal backlink. Social media quotes, appearances in AI answers and inclusion in comparison posts all spread your brand name further than a broken link building campaign every day of the week.

For the majority of our clients it’s found the best answer is a healthy mix. Broken link building and digital PR for reach, guest posts for topical relevancy and brand reviews for trust.

That mix is how you build high quality backlinks without sounding unnatural, and it’s also what the best link building companies will advise.

Is there anything else I should know?

You’ll be updated throughout the process as your order is completed, but feel free to reach out to our link building team if you need any help deciding what we should review or which tiers you would like.
