How We’re Helping This Online Learning Platform Earn An Average Of 14 New Backlinks Per Month

Our client is an online language school that offers live classes taught by certified, native-level teachers. They provide courses in English, German, French, Spanish, and Business English.

The platform is all about flexibility, allowing students to schedule classes 24/7 to fit their individual timetables. Classes are conducted via video conferencing, typically in small groups of up to five students, ensuring personalized attention and ample speaking space.

They also offer specialized programs, such as a two-month intensive challenge designed to boost language proficiency through frequent class participation.

It was challenging to secure links in the business-to-consumer (B2C) space, where many site owners were unfamiliar with linkbuilding concepts.

Luckily, our link building campaigns helped this land high-authority links in educational resources, university blogs, and institution sites.

Read on to learn more about how we helped our client achieve a domain rating (DR) of 71 and secure over 370 links! 🚀

⛰️ The Challenge

We wanted to earn backlinks from both B2C and business-to-business (B2B) niches, and this proved to be challenging.

⛰️ Navigating the B2C space: Many website owners were unfamiliar with link-building concepts. This required additional education, which resulted in longer conversion cycles.

⛰️ High competition: The language and learning niche is highly competitive, which led to some potential partners requesting multiple links in exchange for one placement. Here are some of the competitors we were up against:

• Berlitz (DR 75)
• Babbel (DR 81)
• Spanish Academy (DR 57)
• Baselang (DR 52)

⛰️ Relevance: We faced some difficulties finding partners that weren’t direct competitors but still maintained topical relevance.

⛰️ Managing expectations: As we worked with partners who were new to link insertions, they required detailed explanations.

💡 Our Strategy

💡 Ensuring relevance: We primarily focused on educational and language learning niches to maintain relevance and authority.

💡 Link insertions: In 2024, we prioritized achieving link insertions in existing content to ensure more natural placements for our client.

💡 A dual approach: We targeted both B2C (language learners) and B2B (educational institutions) sectors. This enabled us to build a diverse backlink profile of high-authority links.

💡 Content: We created specific content angles around studying abroad, professional development, and remote work opportunities to increase our link placement success.
