Link building is one of the best ways to not only grow your site, but also improve your ranks in search engines. And with the internet being home to hundreds of millions of active sites fighting for visits, your rank is important. Unfortunately, simply creating content and hoping people link to it isn’t a viable strategy. Instead, you need to perform outreach. Outreach involves reaching out to influencers, experts or high authority websites in your space.

This can be done via email, social media, phone calls meeting and a variety of other methods as well. However, not all outreach is effective outreach. Sometimes you only have one chance to reach out and impress your targets, so you need to do it the right way. With that in mind, this article is going to look at how to perform effective outreach for your company or website.

Consider Working With Experts

As we mentioned, there is a difference between effective outreach and ineffective outreach. Unfortunately, knowing the difference may not come easy. It can take a lot of time to get outreach right, and many will struggle. Some struggle with personalizing messages, some with developing a solid call to action and many simply don’t know how to demonstrate value.

So instead of investing time and money into perfecting your outreach, why not consider working with experts in the space? Running a business can be expensive and time-consuming, and working with experts can take some of the work off of your plate. Companies like OutreachMama research the best link-building and outreach strategies and will go above and beyond what you might be able to do on your own. Working with experts like this will help you reach more of your target market, while demonstrating your value in a creative and impressive manner.

 

Demonstrate Your Value

In order for outreach to be effective, you need to demonstrate value to the website, individual or company you are reaching out to. Your email, call or meeting should illustrate how linking to your site will add value to their site or content. Maybe linking to your site will add some extra information for readers, or will back up some claims or provide support.

You need to do your best to be persuasive in your demonstration of value, without resorting to begging as that is never a good look. This should also be quick and to the point. Long-winded or confusing emails or calls can sometimes make it tough for the true value of your pitch to be seen. Of course, be sure to provide links to the valuable content you mentioned, and be sure it is recent, relevant and error-free.

 

Get Creative and Personal With Your Outreach

The last thing you want is to reach out with boring or uninspired outreach. It doesn’t need to be crazy, but there are a few things you can do to up the creativity and personalization of your outreach. First of all, be sure to tailor your email or content for the person it is going to. This will show them you actually took time to learn about them and their work, as opposed to just sending the same old feeler email out to dozens of recipients.

Next, you want to ensure that both your subject line and call to action are strong. If your subject is weak or uninteresting, the chances that people will open your email might be low. And without a strong call-to-action, they might not actually click on any link or respond. Your CTA should feature request, have a link and what you would like them to do.

 

Track and Analyze Your Outreach Over Time

Tracking and analyzing data is always a good idea in business, and this is especially true during outreach. You need to know how many people you reached out to, what their responses were, and how each outreach ended up affecting your business. This will let you know which strategies are working, and which need a little bit of work.

If your response rates are low, it is best to evaluate how you are reaching out to people. If your outreach efforts simply aren’t helping your site or company, maybe it’s time to reevaluate who you are reaching out to. Either way, tracking and analyzing your outreach success is incredibly important. Sure, you can do it by hand with some folders, docs or Excel spreadsheets, there are also dedicated types of software available as well.

In conclusion, hopefully this article has helped you understand how to perform better and more effective outreach for your company.
