The service
Our approach to Parasite SEO
This means publishing on a trusted platform you do not own, so your offer can rank on that platform's reputation while your own site catches up. In very competitive or brand-new niches it is the quickest route to page one. It comes with conditions we state openly: the content sits on someone else's site, they can take it down, and it gives you visibility without adding authority to your domain. Used well, it buys time. It never replaces the work that makes your own site rank.

How we keep the work accountable
Before work starts, we agree on the number that matters most to you. Each sprint is planned against it. You get a short recorded update every week and a dashboard you can open any time, and the senior lead joins every call.

Our Process
Four stages of Parasite SEO
The same order every time: find the constraint, plan, deliver, then review. Here is what each stage involves.
01
Backlink Gap Review
A senior analyst compares your backlink profile with the competitors ranking above you and flags harmful links that may be holding you back. You come away with a realistic sense of the gap and what closing it involves.
02
Targets and Story Ideas
We assemble a checked list of relevant publications, including Canadian trade and regional outlets, and develop data-led story ideas your industry cares about. Prospects are scored on real readership and topic fit, never on a domain metric alone.
03
Pitch and Place
Our team sends personalized pitches, answers journalist requests and runs digital PR, aiming for placements on sites with genuine editorial review. Link networks and private blog farms are off the table.
04
Check and Report
Each live link is screenshotted, checked for follow status and added to your dashboard with its referring traffic. A weekly recorded update covers new placements and any ranking changes they help drive.
01
Borrowed authority
Use an established platform while your own site matures
Some platforms are trusted enough that a well-made page on them can rank for searches your new domain will not reach for a year or longer. Used carefully, that puts you in front of buyers during the period you would otherwise be invisible.
What works changes often: which platforms still rank, what each one allows and how fast a page must earn engagement to stay up. That calls for someone who follows these platforms closely, and we assign this work accordingly.

The conditions, stated first
The terms, explained in writing before you start
Every page of this kind comes with three facts. The platform owns it. The platform can remove it without notice. The authority stays with the platform. You gain traffic and exposure, and your own domain gains nothing directly.
That can be a sensible trade when you make it knowingly and run it next to work that builds an asset you own. We will not position it as a replacement for that work.

When it is the right call
Launches, crowded categories and short campaigns
This approach fits a narrow set of cases. A launch with no domain history, a category where platforms already own page one, a campaign with an end date or a market where nobody will link to a newcomer yet.
Outside those cases it is a costly way to postpone work that would have built value over time. We will tell you which situation you are in.

FAQs
Before you sign: common questions
Straight answers on scope, timing and how we report.
Is parasite SEO against Google’s rules?
Posting on a platform you do not own is not a violation by itself. The risk comes from what gets posted and where. Thin pages churned out on abused platforms get removed along with the account. We build pages a platform would want to keep.
What if the platform takes the page down?
You lose that traffic, which is why it never runs alone. We keep copies of every page, and the work always includes your own website so demand has a place to land.
Will this help my own domain rank?
Not directly. The authority stays with the platform. It can bring visitors, awareness and occasionally press attention while your own pages mature. Think of it as visibility for a set period.
Who handles this work?
Someone who tracks these platforms closely, since the ones that rank and their rules shift often enough that occasional attention falls behind.
Enter your domain and we pull your link profile. You see the gap between you and the sites ranking above you, plus a frank answer on whether links are what is holding you back.
Tell us about the business and a senior specialist will get back to you within one business day. If starting with Link Building looks like the wrong first step, we will say so and suggest what to fix first.
