<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When creating content for SaaS sites, “build it and they will come” is no longer an effective strategy. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In today’s competitive landscape where Google Algorithms rule the roost, SaaS owners need to employ clever SEO techniques to make sure they drive the</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">right</span></em> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">traffic to their content. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to Alan Silvestri, link-building or “digital PR” is one of the most effective ways to get eyes on your content and boost your brand recognition. Alan is the Founder and CEO of Growth Gorilla, an agency that provides</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">high-quality, no-nonsense content distribution and link-building outreach for SaaS companies.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode, Alan walks us through the tried and tested framework he uses to build high-converting links and how to modify this framework to suit the needs of different businesses. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Link-building doesn’t exist in a black hole, and if you want the best results, you’ll need to employ additional marketing and social media strategies to support your link-building efforts.</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">According to Alan,</span></p> <blockquote> <p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Effective link building starts with the preparation you do before you even start building links. The first thing, which is often overlooked, is to make sure that your content is top-notch. Then, focus on optimizing your internal linking structure because that can really help to make the most out of the links that you build.”</span></em></p> </blockquote> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alan also warns that not all backlinks are good, explaining the desirable qualities and red flags SaaS owners should keep an eye out for, and why quality trumps quantity every time.</span></p> <p><span st
