Best Link Removal Companies - July 2019

Link removal companies offer their clients the unique opportunity to remove incoming links in the hopes of reducing the number of harmful links linking into their pages. Our evaluation focuses on how well each company analyzes a link portfolio to determine the quality and relevance of individual links and the types of tools and automated processes which are used to achieve this. The vendors we recommend utilize the latest tools and strategies for analysis.

It is vitally important when performing a link audit to ensure the links being attempted for removal are truly harmful links that can negatively impact the search visibility of their client’s website. Removing good links can also remove the link juice which is passed onto the client and therefore can cause more harm than good in the long-term. Our analysis delves into how accurate the link removal services are in terms of pure results.

Efficiency is another area of our evaluation to ensure the recommended vendors have processes in place to efficiently contact those linking into a website requesting the removal of links. We investigate how the company handles cases where either the webmaster does not respond to the request or refuses to remove the link. How much of this process is automated and how much of it is manual can positively or negatively influence the campaign.

Another important aspect of this analysis is the actual monitoring of incoming links both from a removal perspective and from an ongoing perspective to also identity new negative links. As some companies are the target of negative SEO campaigns from competitors or those seeking to harm the performance of domains in search engines, it is important for an effective link removal company to understand how to monitoring ongoing link portfolios.
