All guides

Every note on Linkscope, grouped by hub. Each guide lives at a flat keyword URL — e.g. /buy-backlinks/.

Start here

What links are, why they still matter, and how Sophie thinks about the basics.

Methods I use

Hands-on link tactics — what she actually runs, scales, or skips.

Outreach & PR

Emails, pitches, guest posts, HARO, digital PR — with skepticism built in.

How I judge links

Metrics, audits, profiles, relevance — what she trusts and what she ignores.

Buying & hiring

Agencies, marketplaces, pricing — transparent, never salesy.

Tools I rely on

Software she opens weekly — compared on usefulness, not feature lists.

By niche

How the same craft changes in SaaS, ecommerce, local, healthcare, etc.

Risk & hats

Grey zones, black hat, disavow, bad links — when she walks away.
