B2B SaaS Link Building / SEO Specialist

We’re looking for a backlink outreach specialist to help grow organic rankings for Influship, a B2B SaaS product in the influencer marketing / creator discovery space. Current state: Domain: influship.com DA: around 34 We rank around position 70-80 for some ideal non-brand keywords Target keywords include terms like influencer discovery platform, AI influencer discovery, find influencers, find Instagram influencers, creator search tools, etc. We have plans for programmatic SEO pages like “fastest growing [category] influencers in [location],” but right now those pages are unlikely to rank meaningfully without more authority. This is not a bulk backlink job. We do not care about “100 backlinks” unless the work contributes to ranking movement, qualified referring domains, and stronger topical authority. We’re looking for someone who can help with: - Manual backlink outreach - Contextual guest post opportunities - Broken link / competitor backlink outreach - SaaS, marketing, ecommerce, AI, creator economy, and agency resource placements - HARO / Featured / Qwoted-style journalist/source responses - Relevant listicle placements - Resource page outreach - Podcast/newsletter/source opportunities - Outreach tracking and ranking-focused reporting We can support you with real content and insights. If you secure a strong guest post opportunity, our team can write the content. If a journalist needs founder quotes, product insight, creator economy data, or examples from the influencer marketing space, we can provide that. What matters most: - Quality over quantity - Topical relevance - Contextual links from real sites with real audiences - Natural anchors, not exact-match spam - Ranking movement over vanity backlink count - Clear reporting on outreach, replies, live links, target pages, and keyword movement Please do not apply if your approach is based on PBNs, link farms, pre-priced guest post networks, spam directories, mass submissions, or guaranteed DA links. We’re looking for someone who can think carefully, qualify opportunities, and help us build links that actually improve our ability to rank. We’ll start with a paid trial & if the quality is strong, and we can start to see real movement in rankings, we are happy to significantly increase the number of hours. In your proposal please cover: What backlink tactics would you prioritize for influship.com given that we’re DA ~34 and ranking around position 70-80 for ideal commercial keywords? An example of a SaaS or other technology company you've helped with a similar challenge? How many hours per week over how much time would be good for an initial paid trial?
