  1. The next step is to look for backlink opportunities that are relevant for your website.

So try to see if there are websites like directories, these websites usually have a simple submission form, where you can submit your website.

Try to keep in mind that not every website will be worth the effort to try and get a backlink.

  1. Now, when you have found opportunities, you can add them in the table on top of this page. (To make sure you submit to them just once)

  2. That’s it, keep looking for competitors & keep looking for backlink opportunities.

(When you’ve checked a domain completely, you can set the status to: “checked”. On the table on top of this page.)
