SEO Link Building Specialist - Business Niche (Must Have Own Ahrefs/SEMrush)

I run an independent comparison and review site in the business and legal services niche ranking page 1 on Google for multiple high-value queries. I am looking for an experienced link building specialist to build a consistent backlink pipeline targeting our highest-value pages.

This is a long-term role for someone who knows what they are doing and can work independently with minimal oversight. You will have clear targets, approved processes, and weekly check-ins.
What you will do:

Run competitor backlink gap analysis to identify DA 30+ link opportunities. Execute outreach for resource page links, guest posts, niche edits, and broken link replacements. Research expired domains with relevant backlink profiles using SpamZilla or similar. Log all activity and prospects in Google Sheets in real time. Send a weekly Friday report covering links placed, outreach sent, replies received, and pipeline status. 10-15 hours per week.

What you will not do:
Purchase any domains or pay for any placements without explicit approval. Use any black hat tactics including PBNs, link farms, or paid link schemes. Send outreach without using approved templates.

Requirements:

Active subscription to Ahrefs, SEMrush, Moz Pro, or Majestic. You must verify this with a screenshot before starting. Minimum 2 years of professional link building experience. Portfolio of placed links you can share. Familiarity with competitor backlink gap analysis. Strong written English for outreach emails. Reliable internet and available Monday to Friday.

Nice to have:
Experience in legal, business formation, or compliance niches. Familiarity with SpamZilla or expired domain research. Guest post experience with real editorial sites.

TEST TASK -- REQUIRED FOR SHORTLISTED CANDIDATES -- PAID $6:
Shortlisted candidates will be invited to complete a paid test task before hiring. You will run a competitor backlink gap analysis for a business and legal services comparison site, identify 20 to 30 DA 30+ link opportunities, and log them in a Google Sheet with domain name, URL, DA score, contact email, and opportunity type. You must include a screenshot of your active tool subscription with your submission.

How to apply:

Send a brief introduction explaining your link building experience and which tool you currently have active access to. Include 3 to 5 examples of links you have placed with the target URL, the linking page URL, and the DA of the linking site. Applications without tool verification and link examples will not be reviewed. Applications obviously written by AI without personalization will not be considered.
