Original research & data

Create evidence people have a reason to cite.

Original data, benchmarks and expert analysis can earn links more naturally because the asset contributes something the web did not already have.

The strategy

The easiest content to copy is usually the hardest content to earn links to.

We help turn proprietary data, surveys, customer trends and expert knowledge into referenceable assets with a clear methodology and outreach story.

What’s included

Quality controls before outreach volume.

The exact mix changes by page and market, but these are the building blocks we use most often.

  • Research-angle ideation
  • Survey and data-story planning
  • Methodology presentation
  • Journalist and editor outreach
  • Ongoing citation reclamation

How it works

Four steps from gap to earned authority.

01

Find unique evidence

Look for data or expertise competitors cannot reproduce with a quick search.

02

Design the asset

Package the findings into clear takeaways, methodology and visuals readers can understand.

03

Pitch the finding

Lead outreach with the most useful or surprising insight, not with the request for a backlink.

04

Keep it alive

Refresh high-performing research when the underlying data changes enough to justify a new edition.

Historical outcomes

Measure the campaign by what changed.

These examples are from past campaigns and do not guarantee future results. Starting authority, competition, technical SEO, content and conversion performance all affect outcomes.

Authority rarely comes from one tactic.

Combine the channels that fit the page, query and buying journey rather than forcing every campaign into the same link-building playbook.

Questions

What teams usually ask before starting.

Do we need a huge dataset?+

No. A smaller dataset can still be valuable if it is credible, clearly scoped and answers a question the market cares about.
