The Link Building Company of the Year award recognizes the vendor or agency building the highest-quality verified backlinks at scale — judged on placement quality, relevance, indexation and the ranking impact of the links themselves. Founder-affiliated entrants are publicly disclosed on this page, the Head Judge is recused from the category entirely, and the vote is decided by the independent panel members alone.
Entry is free. Work completed between May 2026 and April 2027 is eligible for the 2027 award. Shortlisted entries are verified against live ranking, traffic and link data before the panel votes — bring receipts, not adjectives. Enter or nominate for 2027 →
