Ranking for solution-aware terms in Google can be highly competitive, making high-quality, authoritative link-building crucial for gaining visibility and authority.

Choosing the best SaaS link-building agency can significantly impact your SERP rankings and, more importantly – SQLS, signups, and bottom-line revenue.

In this article, readers will explore the top SaaS link building agencies of 2024 to help them make an informed choice.

1. Rock The Rankings

Rock The Rankings is THE SaaS link building agency that is hyper-focused on search engine optimization for SaaS and tech brands.

We only work with SaaS brands and only do SEO – that’s what we’re best at, and that’s where we continue to deliver consistent results.

Rock The Rankings is a strategic growth partner (we have the word agency) with a compact team of 13 employees.

We provide one-on-one engagements directly with the engagement of our founder—you won’t find any junior account managers with 1-2 years of experience here.

How We’re Different Than The Other Agencies On This List

1. We only do SEO – nothing else

Juggling multiple services is hard for an agency, and for that reason, most get subpar results.

Nearly every other ” specialized ” agency in SaaS works across multiple service lines, including SEO.

If you’ve worked with an agency before and it was a failure, it’s likely because it excels at only one thing—yet it’s trying to manage multiple service lines.

At Rock The Rankings, we only do SEO with a core focus on:

  • SEO-Focused Content Strategy
  • Content & Graphic Creation (where it’s a right fit – you should be working to hire a content writer and building a team in-house, not relying on agencies over the long term)
  • Advanced Technical SEO
  • Link Building

We’re not the right fit if you’re looking for an agency that can handle SEO and other channels.

We only do what we do best, so we have a 100% focus on leveraging SEO to build customer acquisition engines.

2. We only work with SaaS/Tech – no one else

You know how nearly every SEO agency out there claims to work with SaaS businesses?

Sure, they might, but they also generally work with service-based businesses, such as B2C, eComm, and DTC, and the list goes on and on.

How can you be great at what you do if you’re not specialized and a jack-of-all-trades?

Rock The Rankings only works with SaaS companies with product-market fit and are ready to build a customer acquisition engine leveraging our expertise and framework.

We often hear that prospects are tired of telling an agency what to do and when to do it.

The reason why this happens is simple.

The agency doesn’t know what it’s doing because it doesn’t specialize in SaaS and likely hasn’t worked with hundreds of SaaS businesses over the past decade.

Here’s our approach – we only work with SaaS/Tech clients.

This has allowed us to develop the framework and playbooks to execute that get real results, scaling demos, trials, and revenue.

3. No junior account managers. Work 1-on-1 with our founder.

Have you ever witnessed the Agency Down Phenomenon?

You know, you went through the sales pitch, and everything seemed great, but once you signed up and kicked off, everything went downhill, and fast.

Where do things normally go wrong? Why does it always seem to be this way?

Junior account managers to cut costs and employee churn are big reasons why things generally aren’t so great after signing up with an agency.

And exactly for that reason – that is why the traditional agency model is broken.

You don’t want to spend tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, just to work with a junior account manager who has no vested interest in your success, do you?

At Rock The Rankings, you can expect that:

  • You’ll work one-on-one with our founder from start to finish.
  • We only work with a set number of clients each quarter.
  • Our average employee tenure is 3.9 years.

You want to work with and are paying for true expertise – and your partner should deliver on that promise.

4. We forecast and expectation set from the get-go. No guesswork.

For most agencies, the normal process from expressing interest to getting a proposal goes like this:

Book an intro call, request and proposal, and then on another 1-hour call reviewing the proposal – all while falling asleep as a sales rep reads through a non-customized, canned deck.

Your standard, polite response? “We’ll think about this, review internally with the team, and come back..”

❌ Hard pass.

There’s nothing worse than being sold to – let alone with a generic analysis and proposal.

Here’s how we consistently get stellar feedback from our proposal process:

  1. Listening—What are the prospect’s core pain and problems? Can we help solve them, or at least advise them on how to push themselves in the right direction towards success?
  2. Granularity—We can afford to get granular with our research and analysis because we’re not a churn-and-burn operation that juggles dozens of clients simultaneously. We look to build long-term relationships, and that’s reflected in the initial effort we put in.
  3. Forecasting—By getting granular, we can also properly conduct forecasting across different scenarios and speak to those depending on how fast we run with our efforts. This gives a clear path and idea of ROI vs. our efforts.

Sitting through boring proposal calls sucks – and finding a service provider that cares about your success seems to be becoming a rarity.

My suggestion while being on both sides of the coin?

Get a good feel for what you’re in for off the bat and whether the provider on the other side is going to put in the work.

1. Clear and Effective Communication

Clear and responsive communication is vital for any successful business partnership. When dealing with a link-building agency, expect regular updates and an open line of dialogue.

The agency should provide transparency regarding its processes, timelines, and expected outcomes.

2. Sets Practical Goals and Timelines

Quality link building doesn’t happen overnight. Reputable agencies will set realistic expectations about results and timelines, highlighting that services like digital PR or HARO link-building can take months to yield visible outcomes.

Be cautious of agencies promising quick fixes or unrealistic link numbers, as these might involve unsustainable or unethical practices.

3. Takes Responsibility and Adapts

A top-tier link building agency tailors its strategies to individual client needs, often involving trial and error. They must demonstrate accountability when things go wrong and provide clear plans for rectifying issues.

This adaptability and transparency can help ensure the long-term success of the collaboration.

4. Provides Regular Progress Updates

Steady updates on campaign progress are essential. Many leading agencies offer client dashboards for real-time monitoring of their link-building efforts.

Whether through dashboards or scheduled check-ins, regular updates can help align link-building activities with broader SEO and marketing strategies.

5. Strong Reputation and Credibility

Reputation is a cornerstone of evaluating link-building agencies. Look for testimonials from well-known industry figures and detailed case studies that showcase the agency’s successes.

Checking independent reviews on social media, Clutch, or via LinkedIn can also provide additional insights.

Good agencies will often have awards and recognitions that further validate their credibility.

6. Fair and Transparent Pricing

Higher costs don’t always guarantee better results. Agencies from regions with lower operating costs may provide competitive pricing without sacrificing quality.

However, prices that are too low can be a red flag.

Factors like professional tools, staff, and operational expenses must be covered. Common link prices vary widely, from as low as $10 on Fiver to $1-2k for ultra high-quality links links.

A balance between cost and quality is crucial for selecting the right agency.
