Broken Link Building, Toxic Backlink Cleanup & White-Hat Authority Campaign
🔴 The Problem
An established eCommerce brand in the home décor industry had been operating for over 4 years and had accumulated 4,800+ backlinks from previous SEO and marketing efforts. While the backlink profile looked strong on paper, a significant portion consisted of low-quality, irrelevant, and spammy links that were weakening the site's authority. At the same time, a brand mention audit uncovered 63 unlinked mentions across blogs, news articles, and resource pages that were providing no SEO value. The website also lacked a consistent white-hat link acquisition strategy, allowing competitors with cleaner backlink profiles to outrank it for valuable commercial keywords.
⚠️ The Impact
The high volume of toxic backlinks was suppressing the website's authority and limiting ranking potential. Valuable brand mentions were going unclaimed, and the absence of ongoing authority building meant organic growth had plateaued despite a well-optimized website and quality products.
✅ What I Did

Identified and removed or disavowed 1,900+ toxic and spammy backlinks, significantly reducing the website's spam score.
