Backlink Creation and Outreach Specialist

Posted 3 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

We are looking for a link building specialist to take full ownership of DailyHelm's backlink strategy. DailyHelm is an AI-powered business reviewer for founders and operators, and we have a growing library of 40+ SEO-targeted blog posts covering ecommerce, Google Ads, Shopify analytics, and business intelligence. The content is solid. What we need now is domain authority, and that comes from you. Your job is to prospect for high-authority link opportunities across our target verticals, write personalized outreach pitches to editors, bloggers, and content leads, build real relationships with the sites most likely to link to us repeatedly, and identify guest post opportunities where we contribute original content in exchange for a quality link back. Beyond editorial outreach, you will also get us listed in the right SaaS directories (G2, Capterra, SaaSHub, and others), Shopify ecosystem roundups, ecommerce tool directories, and founder resource pages that our target customers already trust. You will monitor journalist request platforms like HARO and Qwoted to land DailyHelm mentions in relevant coverage, track every outreach thread and placement in a shared system, and report weekly on referring domain growth and what is working. We are not looking for someone to run a link scheme. We are looking for someone who understands that one link from a DR 60 site that genuinely covers our space is worth more than 20 directory submissions, and who can build the relationships to get it. If you have a track record of moving domain authority for SaaS or ecommerce brands and want real ownership of the strategy at a fast-moving company.
