The 'Growth Stack' Synergy Outreach
Target the most natural and authoritative links possible for growth-focused operations. Leverage your existing martech and sales tech stack to earn endorsements from complementary platforms.
Audit every tool your growth team integrates with (CRM, MAP, CDP, ABM platforms, analytics suites).
Reach out to their partnership or content marketing teams with a unique value proposition and co-marketing asset (e.g., joint webinar topic).
Request inclusion in their official 'Technology Partners,' 'Integrations,' or 'Customer Success Stories' sections.
Propose a co-authored 'Best Practices' guide or a data-driven case study to earn a secondary, high-intent link.
Niche Intent Keyword Outreach (Implicit Demand)
The 'Unindexed Demand' link building hack. Build relationships by helping niche authorities rank for high-value, low-volume keywords with clear buyer intent that aren't yet heavily targeted.
Identify 5-10 influential content creators or publications in the B2B growth or demand generation space.
Find specific, long-tail keywords related to advanced growth tactics (e.g., 'account-based marketing for series b startups,' 'predictive analytics for churn reduction') that they *aren't* ranking for but have clear commercial value.
Reach out and offer proprietary insights, anonymized campaign data, or expert quotes to help them establish authority on these emerging topics.
Earn a high-authority backlink in exchange for providing unique, high-value content that positions them as a leader in a nascent topic cluster.
Growth Glossary Dominance
Create and define proprietary growth marketing terms or operational jargon that others in the B2B growth ecosystem will reference as the definitive source.
Identify 20-30 emerging or nuanced terms in growth marketing, GTM strategy, or sales enablement with high topical relevance and low existing authoritative coverage.
Write definitive, 700-word+ explanations for each on a dedicated '/glossary' or '/growth-science' path, including practical application examples.
Outreach to industry bloggers, analysts, and consultants suggesting your glossary as the authoritative source for their technical posts and reports.
Monitor niche forums, industry publications, and academic papers for these terms and proactively suggest your page as a foundational reference.
The 'Martech Alternative' Hub
Target 'Switchers'—users of competing or adjacent marketing and sales technologies looking for a more effective growth solution. This generates extremely high-intent backlinks and MQLs.
Create dedicated comparison pages: 'Best [Competitor Martech] Alternatives for Growth,' 'Top [Adjacent Tool Category] for Scaling Revenue,' or '[Your Solution] vs. [Competitor] for Demand Gen.'
Outreach to influential tech reviewers, industry analysts, and comparison sites that cover these specific tool categories.
Suggest your comprehensive comparison hub as a valuable, third-party resource for their audience evaluating solutions.
Distribute the hub link strategically on high-intent community threads (e.g., GrowthHackers, G2, Capterra, relevant Slack communities) where users are actively seeking alternatives.
Proprietary Growth Data PR (Trend Reports)
The ultimate link builder. Leverage anonymized platform data and campaign performance metrics to create news-worthy industry insights that top-tier B2B publications and analysts cite.
Extract anonymized, aggregated performance data showcasing a significant growth trend (e.g., 'Impact of AI on Lead Scoring Accuracy,' 'Channel Performance Benchmarks for SaaS,' 'Customer Acquisition Cost Trends by Vertical').
Design 5-10 professional, data-rich charts, infographics, and 'Key Stat' cards for easy media consumption and social sharing.
Write a comprehensive 'State of Growth Marketing' or 'B2B Demand Generation Report' and pitch it to leading industry publications (e.g., MarTech Today, Demand Gen Report, Forbes Tech Council).
Follow up with niche newsletters (e.g., TLDR Marketing, RevOps Squared) and relevant Slack communities to secure high-authority distribution and backlinks.
Execute high-impact link building for Growth leads.
Join 2,000+ teams scaling with AI.
Unlinked Brand Mention Harvesting (Growth Context)
The lowest-hanging fruit for growth teams. Turn existing brand awareness and 'lost' mentions of your company or key personnel into valuable SEO link equity.
Set up advanced Google Alerts or use tools like Ahrefs/Semrush to monitor mentions of your brand, key executives, and flagship products/reports.
Filter for mentions on authoritative B2B or tech sites that do not currently have a hyperlink pointing back to your domain.
Send a concise, value-driven outreach email to the author or editor, thanking them for the mention and politely asking if they would consider adding a link to a relevant resource (e.g., your latest whitepaper, a specific feature page) for reader convenience.
Suggest a specific, highly relevant piece of content that complements their article to make the link addition a clear value-add for their audience.
Skyscraper 2.0 (The Growth Strategy Upgrade)
Identify the 'Champion' ranking content for a critical growth-related keyword and build a demonstrably superior resource that addresses deeper strategic or tactical needs.
Analyze the top 3-5 ranking articles for your target high-intent growth keyword (e.g., 'lead nurturing strategies,' 'account-based marketing playbook,' 'customer onboarding best practices').
Identify gaps: Is the content outdated? Does it lack actionable frameworks? Is it too theoretical without practical implementation steps? Does it miss key GTM or RevOps considerations?
Produce a 'Gold Standard' resource that uses the same structure but provides 2x more actionable depth, proprietary frameworks, data-backed insights, or implementation checklists.
Reach out to everyone linking to the original article's author and webmaster, presenting your enhanced resource as a more valuable and up-to-date source for their audience.
Newsletter Swap for Growth Leaders
Fast-track authoritative traffic and backlinks by cross-promoting valuable content with non-competing SaaS founders and growth leaders.
Identify 10-15 SaaS founders or prominent growth practitioners whose audiences align with your target ICP but whose products/services do not directly compete.
Propose a 'Newsletter Swap' where you feature a valuable resource or insight from their newsletter in yours, in exchange for them doing the same and including a link to a relevant piece of your content.
Ensure the link from their newsletter is archived on their blog or a dedicated resource page to secure a permanent, crawlable backlink.
Consider creating a 'Growth Partnerships' or 'Resource Hub' page on your site listing these collaborators to foster ongoing cross-promotion and a recursive link-building loop.
Podcast Guesting for Demand Generation Authority
EARN authoritative 'Show Note' links and brand authority by sharing unique growth insights and case studies on high-DR industry podcasts.
Identify 20-30 podcasts that frequently interview growth leaders, GTM strategists, or B2B SaaS founders.
Pitch a specific, counter-intuitive, or data-backed angle from your growth journey or client success (e.g., 'The Counter-Intuitive Power of Intent Data in ABM,' 'How We Drove 300% Pipeline Growth by Rethinking Our Content Strategy').
Request the host include a link to a highly relevant, gated resource (e.g., a template, a framework, a detailed case study) or a specific landing page in the episode show notes.
Repurpose the podcast interview into a blog post or 'Insights' article on your site, embedding the audio and linking back to the original episode to create internal linking opportunities and invite cross-pollination.
Broken Reference Reclamation (Growth Resources)
Help webmasters improve UX and earn high-authority links by identifying and restoring dead outbound references to valuable growth marketing resources.
Crawl websites of defunct competitors, abandoned growth blogs, or older industry resources in your niche for their incoming backlinks.
Identify high-DR pages that are now pointing to 404 errors for formerly valuable outbound links (e.g., links to old tools, reports, or datasets).
Contact the webmaster or content owner, politely informing them of the broken link and its negative impact on their page's user experience and authority.
Suggest your relevant, up-to-date growth resource (e.g., a modern playbook, a current data report, a tool alternative) as the perfect, value-adding replacement to keep their readers engaged and informed.
