Looking for professional input here—this is a client site we’ve been managing for 4 months. Context: - Competitive niche, high CPC - Site is less than a year old, built on Webflow - ~350 monthly organic visits - We've followed the “website URL blueprint” to give the site a clean, scalable structure with topical silos - Content is strong (NLP optimized, internally linked, supports topical authority) - Currently only 7 kw in top 10 We're seeing movement, but growth is slow—and client is starting to ask about backlinks. The question: At what point would you advise giving the greenlight to purchase backlinks? And as a bonus, do you have vendor recommendations?

A quick update to let everyone know that if you want to attend the live training for modules 8 and 9, I will be teaching both modules together next Wednesday at 12 PM Mountain. Please note the time change for next week as well if you've been in any of the previous sessions. I have to skip today due to having to take the dogs to a vet appointment that they could only schedule today. I will teach both modules together next week if you want to attend the live training for free! Module 8 is about advanced SEO techniques and module 9 is about how to use and leverage AI in your SEO strategy.
