Why HARO Links Are Worth It

Most link building tactics can be copied. HARO links can’t.

When your brand earns editorial mentions from authoritative sites, it sends a powerful trust signal to Google and strengthens your backlink profile in a way that looks natural and hard-earned.

We’ve landed placements on sites like:

Forbes (DR 93)
MSN (DR 92)
NYPost (DR 91)

These top-tier placements are not guaranteed, but they do happen. Our typical placements land in the DR 50 range.

What Is HARO Link Building?

HARO stands for Help A Reporter Out — a platform where journalists request expert input for upcoming stories. As a source, you respond with a short, high-quality pitch. If the journalist uses your quote, they may include:

your name or brand
a short bio
and often a backlink to your site

It’s essentially link building through digital PR, with real editorial standards.

How HARO Works (Simple Breakdown)

Journalists publish requests for expert insights
We review relevant queries daily
We write pitches that match the journalist’s angle and deadline
If accepted, your brand gets featured
The article goes live (usually weeks later) and you earn the backlink

The hard part isn’t “sending answers.”
The hard part is sending answers that get picked.

Our HARO Link Building Process

We’ve been doing HARO link building for 4+ years, and we’ve built a system designed for quality, speed, and consistency.

Step 1: We Build Your Expert Persona

We start with a short questionnaire to understand your brand and positioning. If you don’t have a clear spokesperson or About page persona, we’ll create one that aligns with your business and website.

We collect details like:

location / market
company background and niche
team size and credibility signals
voice + tone preferences
topics you can speak on confidently

Step 2: We Set Up a Professional Pitching Identity

To improve acceptance rates, we:

create a dedicated email account for pitching
build a professional email signature
ensure the persona looks credible and consistent

Step 3: We Monitor Queries and Pitch Daily

We scan journalist requests and pitch only when it’s relevant.

Speed matters. Quality matters more.
We prioritize both.

Step 4: We Track Everything Transparently

You’ll get a live Google Sheet where we track:

queries we responded to
pitch dates
status updates
published links (when they go live)

Why These Links Are So Valuable

#1 They are hard to get. In link building, the general rule of thumb is that the harder it is to get a link, the more valuable it is. HARO links are really hard to get and will give you a competitive advantage. If a competitor would look at your link profile and see these kinds of links, they will have a very hard time trying to replicate these.

#2 They have high DR. These links come from real websites that have above-average authority/domain rating. As said above, the average DR for the links we’ve received has been 50+, with some of the best links being DR 90+.

#3 Really good value for money. If you would try to buy these kinds of links from link vendors, you’d likely have to pay $500+ per link, and you’d still likely be getting links from link farms.

#4 They will increase your domain rating. These kinds of backlinks will increase your overall domain authority, which in turn will help all your articles rank higher. We’ve managed to achieve DR 40 from only doing HARO alone on our own affiliate sites.

#5 Link profile diversification. It’s likely that you’re already doing a lot of different link-building strategies. This might come with the risk of looking too unnatural. Having different kinds of links from different sources and targeting different pages on your site will help to diversify your link profile.

The Downsides (We’re Transparent About Them)

#1 It takes some time to get these links. On average, it takes 4-8 weeks for the articles to go live after sending our pitches.

#2 Hard to predict how many we’ll get per month. It’s difficult to forecast how many links we’ll get per month. It depends on how many relevant queries there were and how many other pitches the journalists got during that month. HARO works best as a supplementary link-building strategy to increase your overall authority.

#3 Some links are nofollow. Luckily, you won’t have to pay for these kinds of links. We believe that they are still valuable if they come from high-authority sites, but we won’t charge for these kinds of links.
