Hire the Best Link Builders

I am a superb specialist in local SEO, local citations, citation audits and citation cleanup, citation building, Google My Business optimization and link building. I do work manually and provide high authority, top local citations for local businesses located anywhere. I have been working as a citation builder for the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Germany, Ireland, Singapore, the Netherlands, France and also other countries. I can solve any problem that has to do with Google local citations. On Upwork, I have successfully completed more than 17,600+ hours of work and 120+ projects 😲🏆 Here's how I approach managing local citation projects: Step 1: 👉Citation Audit: Consistency in local business citations might help or hurt your local SEO efforts. If you create a Google My Business listing or local listing for a business that already exists on that website (such as a closed company with the same name, address, or other information), you’ll start creating duplicates that will make all your work useless. So have to work first on these: Search for existing citations. Firstly, I use several search engines, online business directories and social media platforms to see where your business information appears. Search with your (NAPW information) company name, address, phone number and website individually and in combination. If I find matches, I will collect those links in a spreadsheet. Identify inconsistent or duplicate citations. After finding existing listings, I pay close attention to finding inconsistent or duplicate local SEO citations. Also, I will keep those links in the spreadsheet. Step 2: 👉Create an industry-specific and location-based business directory: I will submit your business information to niche directories and location-based directories that help search engines associate your business with specific industries. Step 3: 👉Create new citations: I create new local listings manually that do not already exist. I use 100% accurate NAP on all directories, which enhances your Google business listing's online presence, local ranking positions, and Google trust. I include all important information like business name, business address, phone number, website, description, relevant category, keywords, business hours, payment methods, establishment year, photos, videos, social media links, and other details that would be useful for potential customers. Step 4: 👉Competitor Citations: I will research your competitor’s citations in the top directory listing to understand their approaches and determine what works and what doesn't for your target audience. To rank for the extremely competitive keywords that drive sales, you need to know what the top competitors in your niche are doing and go above and beyond. This is why, I find the top five competitors in your niche and show their number of citations, domain authority (DA), number of reviews and photos. Step 5: 👉Citation Clean-up: In Step 1, I have already identified inconsistent or duplicate citations. So this time, I claim/update incorrect nap citations and remove duplicate listings. Step 6: 👉Detailed reporting: I will give you a spreadsheet with detailed reporting where you will get live URL of all submitted links, login details (username, email, password) other important notes. I am strongly experienced in Brightlocal , Whitespark , Yext , Ahrefs, Semrush and Moz tools. I only use these tools to do rank tracking, competitor analysis, and find new resources. Familiar with Asana, Trello, Monday.com, Slack, Smartsheet and more.

I'm a link building expert with over 17 years of experience helping businesses grow their organic search traffic through high-quality, white hat backlinks. I'm also the founder of The Upper Ranks, a link building agency that has helped companies of all sizes earn authoritative, editorial backlinks through ethical outreach. Early in my career, I had the privilege of learning directly from the late Eric Ward, widely regarded as one of the pioneers of professional link building. Eric didn't just teach me the tools of the trade. He instilled in me a code of ethics and an eye for results that I still build my business around today. As Eric once put it: "David's team at The Upper Ranks follows the right approach to building white hat links ethically without cutting corners. This is the approach that has always worked for me and will continue to stand the test of time." Since then, I've built thousands of editorial backlinks for businesses ranging from scrappy startups to household name brands. That includes hundreds of links built for Neil Patel's own website. Neil had this to say: "David Farkas is one of the best link builders I know. He's got a knack for building those coveted links, and I'd strongly recommend his link building services to anyone seeking increased exposure and higher rankings." My approach has always been simple. I build links that I'd be proud to show Google. No spam. No private blog networks. No shortcuts. Just high-quality, relevant backlinks that improve rankings, increase authority, and drive long-term organic growth. Whether you're an SEO agency looking for a reliable link building partner that can scale with you, or a small business trying to break into the rankings that matter, I bring nearly two decades of experience, transparent communication, and a relentless focus on results you can actually measure.

I do not offer generic guest posting or random backlink lists. My entire process is strategy-driven. 🧠 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗠𝘆 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 When clients approach me for SEO link building, guest posts, or backlinks, I follow a structured approach instead of sending random lists, that most link builders completely ignore: ✔️ I start with deep competitor backlink analysis ✔️ I identify where your competitors are actually getting ranking power from ✔️ I shortlist only those websites that influence real SERP positions ✔️ I target listicle-based keywords like “best” and “top” in your niche ✔️ I identify websites ranking not just on Google but also in AI Overviews and GEO search results This allows me to secure backlinks from sites that are already trusted by both search engines and AI systems. 🧠 Why GEO focused Link Building Works (and Why I Made It a Service Before Anyone Else) Before most SEOs realized the power of AI-driven and GEO-focused backlinks, I turned it into a scalable, results-driven link building system. I help clients rank their guest posts and backlinks independently on search engines and AI Overviews, even when their main websites haven’t hit page 1 yet.
