Personalising link-building outreach can help brands earn quality backlinks from high-authority websites. Earning backlinks from reputed sites be challenging, especially during a time of crisis. So, marketers must clearly state how their content would help the backlink provider’s audience in the context of “pandemic life”.
Respectfully and professionally following-up on outreach emails can help marketers improve their chances of earning backlinks. However, they must be sensitive and polite in their follow-up emails. Using a humorous or aggressive approach can be harmful to the brand’s reputation.
