Your first review is free. I usually reply within 2 hours.
Competitors rank higher even though your content is just as good? Often the difference is links, meaning recommendations from other websites. I check where they come from and whether they lead to working pages, and show what to recover right away and where it's worth appearing.

Google treats them as less important and visits them less often.
Fix: Links from the home page, menu and related categories.

First what costs nothing, then the work on new links.

„We worked with Vlad on a Next.js project. He knew what he was doing from day one, didn't overcomplicate things and came up with better approaches on his own. I especially value his work on the site's performance. Everything was delivered as agreed.”
George B. CEO, finance company
„We needed to build an MVP fast to test our idea in practice. Vlad helped us choose sensible solutions and focus on what we really needed for launch. We didn't try to build everything at once, yet he made sure the project could grow later without starting from scratch.”
Alex N. Product Manager at StartupX
„Vlad got up to speed with our project quickly and pointed out several problems we hadn't treated as priorities. He sorted out our database and security issues. I liked that he didn't just complete tasks but clearly explained why something was worth changing and what the consequences could be.”
Michał R. CTO at TechCorp
„We had an app where every bigger change was becoming a problem. Vlad helped us clean up the code, rebuild some of the older parts and introduce automated tests. Working on new features is much easier now. I also appreciate his patience in explaining technical topics to people outside the development team.”
Sara K. Product Owner at WebSolutions

Frequently asked questions
How much does a backlink audit cost?
The price depends on the size of your site and the number of competitors to compare. I confirm the exact amount before we start.
Do you offer link building services or buy links?
I don't buy or sell links. Instead I recover links that lead to missing pages, improve the links between your own pages and point out websites where it's worth appearing with your own content or offer. Contacting them stays with you or your team.
Can bought links hurt my site?
They can. Google ignores or penalises links bought to influence rankings. In the audit I check whether you have links that look like that and tell you whether anything needs to be done. Usually it's enough to stop buying them. Asking Google to ignore links makes sense only in exceptional cases.
Do more links mean a higher position in Google?
Not directly. What matters is who links to you, in what context and to which page. Your position also depends on content and technical health, so I compare links together with the rest of the site.
Does the audit cover links between my own pages?
Yes. I check how easy it is to reach key categories and pages from other places on your site, and show where to add links. This is the part you can fix yourself, without getting links from other websites.
What access do you need?
Read-only access to Google Search Console, Google's free tool with data about your site. Fixes on the site need access to the admin panel or code.
Can you guarantee a top position in Google?
No, and nobody honest can. I show what is holding you back and what will bring the most, then check the effect after the changes. Your results also depend on competitors and on changes Google makes.
How is this different from a monthly SEO agency contract?
An audit is one-off work with a clear scope and price. I don't buy links.
