Editorial only
No PBNs, no link farms, no paid posts passed off as PR. If a site sells links, we skip it.
About Outrankr
Earned links that keep you ranking. On Google and in AI answers.
Outrankr is a digital PR and editorial link building studio. We get your experts quoted in real publications, and those mentions turn into backlinks that last.
Client links earned on
Rankings come down to who vouches for you
Good content is the baseline. What moves the needle is other trusted sites pointing at yours, the same signal search engines and AI systems use to decide who belongs in the answers.
That is hard work: matching your experts to journalist queries, writing answers editors actually want, and earning mentions that become lasting backlinks.
Outrankr exists to do that work every day, so your team can stay focused on the product and the customers.
What makes us different
Built for editorial links that hold up
Every query, every day
HARO, Featured, Qwoted and direct outreach, worked daily. Fast answers are the ones that get picked.
Reporting you can check
Every live link with its URL. If a month is slow, we say so and explain why.
A link is only worth the site it’s on
Before we chase a placement, it has to pass three checks.
-
Real readers
The site has organic traffic. A dead domain with a high DR does not help you.
-
Real editors
A journalist or editor is asking for a quote. We do not buy placements dressed up as coverage.
-
Relevant to you
The mention belongs in your industry, or next to the audience you actually sell to.
Who we work with
Built for teams that need authority, not noise
Brands and founders
B2B SaaS, clinics, fintech and growth-stage companies that need authority without a full in-house PR desk.
SEO agencies
White-label fulfillment for agencies that want editorial links without building an outreach team.
In-house marketing teams
Teams that own strategy but need specialists to work the daily pitching and publisher follow-up.
How it started
From one Upwork profile to a full link building studio
Outrankr began as Ibad Hussain’s freelance practice on Upwork, a HARO specialist helping brands earn features in major outlets and editorial links clients could verify.
Demand turned a solo outreach workflow into a studio: the same standards, more capacity, and reporting that shows every live URL.
Today the team still works the same way the profile started, relevance first, editorial only, and results you can click.
