The Challenge
Despite having a well-designed website with informative and engaging content, Core Truck Driving School had difficulty ranking for significant keywords because it lacked backlinks.
This led to their target audience having minimal exposure to their site resulting in little organic traffic and online visibility. The backlink strategy was then planned by our team.
Missing Internal Links: These links connect one page of your website to another, hence users can navigate and spread link equity across your site. We managed to use a perfect internal linking strategy that joined important pages together.
Lack of External Links: Also known as external links, are critical for search engines to view a website as an authoritative and trustworthy site. We planned to outreach high-authority sites.
Our Approach
The link building team at Nifty Marketing Australia realised the necessity of having a complete strategy for acquiring high-quality backlinks from relevant websites in order to create an effective backlink campaign.
Here is an outline of some key strategies that were utilised:
Competitor Backlink Analysis: We conducted an in-depth analysis of competitor backlinks to understand the link profiles of websites ranking higher in search results for the targeted keywords. It gave us a lot of useful information concerning linking websites and the way in which we should go about link building.
Content Promotion and Outreach: We found quality sites that are within our client’s area of expertise, and that have relevant content published there. We did outreach by creating attractive email copies that described the essence of what our clients had prepared for them in such a way as to present it in its highest possible light before providing these sites with such kind responses.
Guest Blogging: We developed high-quality guest blog posts on subjects relevant to the target site. These guest posts contained valuable points and were linked back to our client’s page which was important in showing competence, and also got some great backlinks.
Broken Link Building: Looking at broken links on niche-related sites, we found some that related to our customer. Then, we approached the owners of these websites, proposing that our customer’s information be used instead of a broken link. This measure served as a way of generating inbound links and benefiting the site owner at the same time, by providing them with quality content.

The implemented link building strategies yielded significant results within a 6-month timeframe:
Increased Backlink Profile: We secured a substantial number of high-quality backlinks from relevant websites within the client’s niche. This significantly improved their website’s authority in the eyes of search engines.
