Google trusts a local business more when the same name, address and phone number appear on reputable sites across the web. All three businesses were missing from most of them.

  2. 02Built profile backlinks: 100 for the speech therapy practice and 50 for the land clearing company.
  3. 03Logged every link with its domain authority, page authority, live URL and a screenshot, so the client can check each one.
