A perfectly optimized website and high-quality content can only achieve so much on their own. Search engines like Google will also consider what other reputable sources say about your brand, including who links to you and how the broader web validates your authority.
Our off-page SEO services build that vital third-party validation. We secure high-quality backlinks from authoritative websites and publications in your industry. Every link is contextually relevant and sourced from domains that pass genuine authority to your pages.
We also build brand mentions across platforms where AI chatbots pull information. When someone asks ChatGPT or Perplexity about your industry, these mentions increase the likelihood that your brand gets cited as a trusted source. Our process is built on years of relationship-building with publishers and site owners who control high-value placements.
Over time, off-page SEO activities deliver a backlink profile and brand footprint that compounds in value. Your domain authority grows. Your pages rank for more competitive keywords. Your brand becomes the reference point that search engines and AI chatbots trust.
Authority online works the same way it does offline. It’s earned through consistent validation from sources that already have it. Book a discovery call to get started.
We kick off with a discovery call to understand your SEO priorities and target keywords and topics in both traditional search results and AI-generated responses. We’ll review your strongest pages, analyze top competitors, and map out the velocity of backlinks and brand mentions needed to compete effectively.
Our team identifies and vets high-authority websites, blogs, directories, and publications relevant to your niche and trusted by search engines and AI chat platforms. Every target is vetted for traffic quality, contextual relevance, and authority. We only pursue placements that move rankings and enhance your brand’s online presence.
We execute a personalized outreach campaign, building relationships with editors and website admins to secure high-quality backlinks through guest posts and strategic niche edits added to existing high-ranking content.
Beyond standard backlinks, we proactively build your presence where AI models learn. This involves securing brand mentions and citations on authoritative industry platforms and websites to strengthen your E-E-A-T signals for both search engines and generative AI results.
Typical turnaround time for backlink placements and brand mentions is 4 weeks from onboarding, depending on publisher responsiveness and scheduling cycles. Larger deliverables follow custom timelines defined in your proposal.
I’ve worked with Spacebar for years now on various businesses ranging from smaller one off local shops to larger multi-location scenarios across Canada. It’s so difficult to find A-players today that truly know what they’re doing, and Chris and Amanda have consistently delivered. Attached my first invoice from back in July 2022 and I’m still here working with Spacebar today. KeepitReal
Saw amazing results while working with Chris and Amanda. More specifically, our website saw a 1500x increase in organic traffic. Highly recommend Spacebar Collective and I’m looking forward to working again with them in the future.
I connected with Amanda because I was in need of some brand consulting and design help for my new tile and flooring business. Amanda was incredibly professional, wonderful to communicate with, and I could not be happier with the work that Spacebar Collective did for me! Spacebar Collective definitely has my business from here on out and I am excited to continue working with Amanda and her team in streamlining my website with effective content and strong local SEO. Thank you Spacebar Collective for making this process so personable and fun! -Brayden
I have had the pleasure of working with Chris and Amanda at Spacebar for a few years now, and I have been so impressed with everything they’ve done. Incredible results and incredible people.
Chris and Spacebar Collective have been a tremendous unlock for our business. We’ve 5x’ed our organic traffic in under 5 months working with Spacebar Collective. Chris is an out-of-the-box thinker and remarkably creative when it comes to getting great placements with real and relevant brands…
I worked with Chris and Amanda on multiple SEO projects this year in which they were instrumental to our success. They led the strategy and execution behind our site content refresh, refreshing and re-optimizing over 150 landing pages and blogs for the site. This work directly led to a 30% increase in site traffic in just a few months’ time. They also helped test and implement an AI-assisted content workflow for our content team, offering expert advice on prompts and processes to ensure the content was fully optimized and was of the highest quality. I would absolutely hire and work with Chris and Amanda again given the opportunity!
I was in need of some brand consulting & a bit of a redesign/facelift for my small business, Amanda & her team were exceptionally personable and communicative through the entire process. They’ve set me up for immediate and long term success and helped me add life to my overall business identity! I’ll definitely be back for future branding!!
Great team, best service!

Off-page SEO services build your site’s authority through actions taken outside your website. This includes securing backlinks from reputable sources, earning brand mentions on third-party platforms, and creating the external trust signals search engines use to evaluate credibility.
While on-page SEO optimizes what’s on your site, off-page SEO establishes how the rest of the web perceives and validates your authority.
Backlinks act as votes of confidence from other websites. When a trusted domain links to your content, search engines interpret that as validation of your expertise and relevance. The quality of those links matters more than quantity. One link from a high-authority site in your industry carries more weight than dozens from low-quality directories.
Our backlink building focuses exclusively on contextually relevant placements from vetted sources that pass real authority to your pages and improve rankings for your target keywords.
AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity pull information from sources they recognize as credible. When your brand gets mentioned in quality content across the web, these platforms are more likely to cite you when answering relevant queries.
We build strategic brand mentions across platforms and publications that AI tools frequently reference. This increases the chances your business appears in conversational search results, which are becoming just as important as search rankings for driving awareness and traffic.
Guest posts are new articles/blog posts we create and publish on third-party sites with links to your pages. Niche edits involve adding links to content that already performs well in search results.
Both tactics work, but guest posts typically deliver more consistent link velocity and allow us to control content quality and context. Niche edits can be faster since the content already exists, but availability is limited.
Most sites see initial movement within 6-8 weeks after we start building links, but significant ranking gains usually take 3-6 months. Off-page SEO compounds over time. Early links establish baseline authority, then subsequent links build on that foundation for stronger results.
Competitive keywords take longer because you’re working against established competitors with years of backlink history. The key is consistent effort. Sites that build links steadily over months see better, more sustainable ranking growth than those chasing quick wins.
Off-page SEO works best when your on-page foundation is solid. You can build the strongest backlink profile in your industry, but if your pages have poor structure, weak content, or technical issues, those links won’t deliver full value.
Search engines need clear signals about what your pages cover before they can push them higher through external validation. We recommend starting with on-page optimization or running both strategies simultaneously. That way, when backlinks start flowing authority to your pages, those pages are ready to convert that authority into rankings.
