Abstract 3D render by SHM Studio, AI and web agency in Milan

In SEO, we specialize in finding and earning the best backlinks to drive significant, lasting growth in the domain authority (DA) of your online presence.

Backlinks are external links that point to your website. Google reads a growing number of authoritative backlinks as a positive, decisive signal: your site is linked to because it's seen as a trusted source with valuable content.

But not all backlinks are equal. Many come from spam or low-quality sites, and those not only bring no benefit, they can even trigger penalties.

Stronger DA and risk removal (Disavow)

SHM Studio helps you build a strong, clean backlink profile. Strategic acquisition: we identify the best authoritative backlinks for your growth. Risk mitigation: we find and analyze harmful backlinks, then request their removal or exclude them with Google's Disavow tool.

We'll improve the health of your backlinks, with one end goal: to grow your website and your brand on search engines in a way that's exponential, safe and fully documented.

Here are the key steps of our link building strategy:

Citations and brand mentions: the new authority signal for AI

LLMs don't just read links. They read how a brand is named across the web. We work on unlinked brand mentions, citations in authoritative sources, listings in industry directories, podcasts, knowledge bases and digital media. Everything that raises the chances your brand is recognized as a reliable entity by the models and cited as a source in answers from Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, ChatGPT Search, Claude and Gemini.

Selection of authoritative sites, citations and brand mentions

To deliver effective link building, we start with in-depth research to identify authoritative websites closely relevant to your industry. We rigorously evaluate the domain authority (DA), page authority (PA) and traffic quality of potential partner sites. We only work with sources that can offer high-quality backlinks, and we steer clear of unethical SEO practices that could harm your reputation.

Creating valuable, shareable content (link earning)

An effective backlink strategy is built on original, high-value content that naturally attracts links (link earning) from other sites. We produce articles, blog posts, infographics and other informative content, designed to be shared and seen as authoritative resources in your field.

Monitoring, disavow and backlink profile maintenance

Our service includes ongoing monitoring of the backlink profile we build. We use advanced tools to track links and assess their quality. We identify and act on toxic or low-quality backlinks that could undermine your site's authority or lead to penalties. This Disavow process is essential to keep your profile clean and ensure sustainable ranking growth.
