Build a linkable asset
Create something so useful other sites link to it without being asked — a tool, data study, or definitive guide.
Why this matters
It's the only tactic that scales passively: build it once, earn links for years.
✓ How to do it
- Pick an asset type from the ideas below that fits your audience.
- Make it genuinely best-in-class for its niche.
- Promote it once to kick-start the first links.
- Update it periodically to keep it linkable.
Reference list
Asset ideas that earn links:
- A free calculator or estimator
- Original survey data or a small study
- The definitive checklist or template
- A local resource / 'best of' guide
- An interactive tool or map
