What are Manual Backlinks?
Manual link-building strategies are guided by the experienced hand of an SEO expert. Backlinks are selected and created by a human rather than a bot – think less of PBNs and more of curated link-building efforts.
At SEOButler, we offer a variety of manual backlinking opportunities. Learn more below.
Guest Posting
Guest posts are one of the best methods to acquire relevant backlinks from high-quality websites. A full blog post is created to be published on another domain – it has to meet your approval and that of the domain host before it can be published.
The subject is chosen as a marriage between your goals and the host’s niche. This ensures that the guest post appears relevant in the watchful eyes of search engines and that the link to your site appears natural and organic.
Search engines really don’t like it when there’s no good reason for a link to be embedded in a piece of content. This is a major advantage of manual link-building services over an automated service – the link’s quality is manually vetted, and you don’t run the risk of incurring penalties.
Your backlink is inserted manually into the content and attached to a relevant anchor text. Again, this helps crawling search engines identify that the content’s author was deliberately referencing your site to support the article.
Guest posts are typically short and can be effectively produced either by human writers or AI tools – it depends on your goals and the host domain’s policies. They’re considered one of the safest manual outreach link-building strategies, and nobody does guest posting better than SEOButler.
Niche Edits
Niche edits are an integral part of our manual link-building service. This technique involves inserting a backlink to your site on a piece of content that already exists – again, we only choose relevant sites to ensure the link appears organic.
An advantage of niche edits is that pages that have been around for longer are more likely to carry more link juice of their own. They’re likely to be higher-performing, meaning that you’ll likely benefit from more organic traffic from readers clicking through. However, it’s that link juice that really helps your website benefit on the search engine result pages.
Niche edits are usually achieved by either:
- Adding new editorial links to a piece of existing content, or
- To replace broken links that aren’t benefiting the host any more – we’re experts in turning broken link-building to your advantage!
Niche edits are always best handled by a manual link-building service. You’ll need a reputable, experienced SEO partner to reach out to the target site and get your link added to their content – bots struggle with this part of the link-building process!
The results can be stunning. You’ll gain high-quality links from established pages on relevant sites, enjoying the extra authority that gets passed on with minimal effort. It’s all handled by your SEO partner at our agency.
Press Releases
A press release is a golden opportunity to acquire extremely valuable backlinks to your site from high-authority domains. It’s easier to guarantee relevant links with press releases, as your business website is already the focus – the trick is finding a place that enjoys high levels of organic traffic to get them published.
That’s where SEOButler comes in.
We have a long list of distribution partners for your press release campaign. We can ensure your press release gets published in places that are:
- Highly visible
- Trusted by search engines
- Guaranteed to pass on substantial authority through an organic, relevant link.
Depending on your goals, we can help you create and publish press releases as a focal point of your manual link-building campaign.

Manual Link Building vs. Automated Link Building
So what are the advantages of manual link-building services compared to automated links? Automation is almost always quicker and cheaper – right?
Automated link-building processes such as well-managed PBNs have always had their place in the SEO space. With the increased use of AI tools in SEO strategies, it’s easy to imagine that manual services might soon become a thing of the past.
Easy to think. Dangerous to believe.
Short-term cost-cutting has been the death of many SEO campaigns. Our goal at SEOButler is to ensure it doesn’t end yours – we understand where we can help you save money, but also where it’s essential to take a more tailored approach.
Let’s compare these services.
Advantages of Manual Links
Manual strategies typically guarantee high-quality links from reputable domains. If you want to get the most valuable links from the most trusted domains, you need a human element in your strategy.
Knowledgeable webmasters understand the risks of filling their sites with spammy, low-quality backlinks, and won’t touch them. On the other hand, they’ll happily publish a well-written, relevant guest post from a trusted partner, or allow niche edits where it suits them.
The key advantage of a manual link-building service is safety. Search engines are constantly on the lookout for inauthentic, spammy links in irrelevant places. Spamming links is one of the most prolific black hat techniques, and Google has become especially good over the years at identifying and penalizing websites that use this strategy.
Your link-building strategy will increase your authority incrementally. It’s a long game and requires careful management. Getting lazy runs the risk of making a mistake that will undo all your hard work and tank your website’s reputation.
Our manual link-building service progressively boosts your ranking, and natural links are an integral part of that. Play it safe, and enjoy the results.
Risks of Automated Links
As mentioned, there’s a place for automated link-building strategies like PBNs in SEO. It’s just not what many PBN providers offer you.
A poorly managed PBN service is a recipe for disaster, because Google knows that black hats see this as an easy way to build links with minimal effort. In SEO, low effort = significant penalties sooner or later.
If someone is offering you all the benefits of an established authority-building powerhouse to boost your website’s search engine rankings at an unbelievable price… it’s time to ask questions. If building links was that cheap and easy, everyone would be doing it.
The proof of success for any manual link-building strategy is in the consistent increase in your website’s domain authority score and the corresponding boost to your website traffic. The search engine optimization professionals at SEOButler understand how to help you generate organic traffic and improve your rankings on all major search engines by using carefully curated links in the right places at the right time.

High-Quality Backlinks from Trusted Websites
The best way to boost your website’s search engine rankings is to obtain backlinks from relevant websites that are highly trusted by Google and other search engines. It’s the digital version of a bibliography – Google loves to check a web page’s sources!
But not all links are created equal, and not all sources add up. If Google identifies black hat techniques, that’s the end.
If Google finds that host domains are being used as link farms to disingenuously redirect web traffic to your own website, it’ll penalize both the site owners and the backlink’s target. Your site authority will tank and you won’t appear in search results – it’ll be back to square one.
SEOButler uses manual outreach to carefully vet host domains and ensure that your link-building campaign benefits from high-quality backlinks with minimal risk. The personal approach pays off – contact us now and discover why!
Superb Guest Posting Services
Our guest post services ensure that your links are anchored to relevant text in high-quality content pieces that are suitable for the host domain’s niche. They’re integrated naturally into the text and indicate to Google that you’re a relevant authority on the subject that the host has linked to organically.
We create content that highly-trusted host domains are delighted to publish and that gives serious weight to your backlinks. A strong link isn’t worth much if it isn’t embedded in high-quality content that a search engine will identify as irrelevant to your website – careful selection of hosts is an essential part of the link-building process.
Our manual link-building services ensure you never need to worry about this again. Contact us to start your guest posting campaign today.

The Dangers of Low-Quality Link Building…
DIY link-building is an increasingly popular choice for website owners. Why? Because they’ve been promised that AI tools make the job easy for them.
AI can be incredibly useful in identifying opportunities to build links, selecting an appropriate anchor text, and understanding your website’s best opportunities for improved search engine performance.
But it’s 100x more effective in the hands of a seasoned professional.
DIY attempts often flounder because:
- Host domains are often suspicious of parties they don’t already know
- Inexperienced website owners don’t make proper use of analytical tools and draw the wrong conclusions
- If you’ve never run a manual link-building campaign yourself, there’s every chance you’ll get end up getting penalized by Google.
