Most agencies send the same templated outreach to the same low-quality sites. We build real relationships with editors and journalists to earn placements Google actually respects.

Every link passes a 12-point editorial quality check: domain authority, topical relevance, real traffic, spam score, link placement, and editorial context — before we accept it.

Case Study

From 12 referring domains to 340 in 18 months

A cloud database company came to us with a technically sound site but almost no backlink profile. Competitors had 10x their domain authority. We built a systematic outreach program targeting developer-focused publications and launched three original research reports that earned over 200 natural editorial links.

"MV3 is the first link building agency I've worked with that actually shows me which publications they're targeting before outreach starts. No surprises, no low-quality placements, and our DR went from 31 to 67 in under a year."

"We tried three other agencies before MV3. The difference is they understand B2B buyer content — they pitched us to publications our actual customers read, not just high-DA sites nobody visits."

"The monthly reports are genuinely impressive — every link listed with DR, traffic, anchor text, and context. I can show the board exactly what we got and why it matters. Most agencies can't do that."

Prospecting & Targeting

We identify publications where competitors have placements, find topical gaps, and build a qualified outreach list before any emails go out.

✍️

Custom Pitches & Content

Every pitch is written specifically for the publication and editor. We position your brand as a credible source, not a link buyer.

📊

Data-Led PR Campaigns

Original research, surveys, and industry reports that earn coverage because they're genuinely newsworthy — not just written to get links.

🔍

12-Point Quality Check

Every placement checked for domain authority, real traffic, topical relevance, spam score, and editorial context before acceptance.

📈

Anchor Text Strategy

We map anchor text distribution across your full backlink profile to ensure new links support target rankings without triggering over-optimization.

📋

Full Monthly Reporting

Every placement listed with URL, DR, traffic estimate, anchor text, and target page. Complete transparency — no mystery links.

How is digital PR different from buying links?
Digital PR earns editorial placements by providing genuine value to publications — original data, expert commentary, and newsworthy stories. Bought links violate Google's guidelines and carry penalty risk. Every placement we secure is earned through real editorial relationships.
How many links can you build per month?
Volume isn't the goal — quality is. For most B2B clients we secure 4–12 editorial placements per month at DR 50+. A single DR 80 placement from a top industry publication moves rankings more than 50 directory links combined.
How long until I see ranking improvements?
Most clients see measurable ranking movement within 3–6 months. Domain authority builds cumulatively — results accelerate as your profile grows. We track referring domain growth, organic traffic, and keyword rankings from month one.
Do you guarantee placements on specific publications?
We don't guarantee specific outlets — no ethical agency can. What we guarantee is that every pitch targets your ICP's media sources, every placement clears our quality bar, and every month you see real editorial links with full documentation.
Can you help if we've been penalized or lost rankings?
Yes. We start with a full backlink audit to identify toxic links and disavow appropriately, then build clean editorial links to help Google reassess your site's authority. Recovery timelines vary based on the scope of prior issues.
