What is a vendor co-citation link?

A co-citation placement is a contextual mention of your client on the website of a related business in a different trade. A roofer might be featured on a local home builder's site, or an HVAC company on a commercial electrician's site. The two trades serve overlapping customers, so the mention reads as a normal business connection.

The article is written in the host's voice and for the host's visitors, with a link to your client in the body of the page. It is a form of our local business guest posts, with cross-trade fit as the main filter.

These placements suit service businesses that depend on referrals between trades. Homeowners and commercial buyers often hire one trade after another, so a mention from a neighbouring trade is something a reader can believe.

How does a cross-trade placement work?

  1. You message us on WhatsApp with the client's trade, target URL and location.
  2. We look in our private inventory for related trades and suppliers that make sense as neighbours, such as builders, contractors and equipment suppliers.
  3. We send the details we can share for matching hosts, and you choose one.
  4. You approve the angle and anchor text, and we write the article for your review.
  5. After approval we publish and send you the live URL.

Some pairings come up quickly and others are not open at all, so it helps to name a second-choice trade when you message us. You always see the article before it is published.

How is a host business vetted?

Every host is an active business with a physical address and a verified Google Business Profile, checked by hand. We look for a real local audience, a clean site history and content that fits the topic. Our target Domain Rating range is about 30 to 60 and above, used as a guide only.

For co-citations we add one more check: the two trades must make sense together. A mention that a reader would find odd is a weak placement, so we do not offer it.

We also keep the number of placements per host limited, so a host's site does not read as a page of links to unrelated firms.

Included: cross-trade host matching from private inventory, an article written for the host's audience, your review of the draft, publication with a contextual link and the live URL.

Not included: public prices, a public host list, and any ranking promise. Prices and the inventory list are shared on WhatsApp only, to protect the host businesses.

We also do not choose a pairing for you without your approval. You see the host details we can share, the proposed angle and the full draft before anything is published.

If you resell the work, see white-label agency. For placements matched by place first, see geo-targeted business links.

What are the limits, and who is this for?

Not every trade pairing has an open host, and availability changes. We do not know how Google weighs co-citation mentions, so we make no claim that they carry extra value. A link is one signal among many, results depend on the client's site, competition and category, and Google may treat paid placements as a policy risk. Careful, contextual, editorial placements lower that risk but do not remove it.

This suits agencies and rank-and-rent operators working with contractors and home service firms. Trade pages: roofing, plumbing and HVAC, law firms and medical and dental. Back to home.

It does not suit anyone who wants a fixed result or a public list of host sites. If your client already has strong referral relationships with other trades, ask us what is open, because a mention that matches a real relationship is the easiest kind to write well.

Questions about best local backlinks in United States

What does co-citation mean in this context?

It means your client is mentioned in context on the site of a related business, often in a different trade, with a link in the article. For example, a roofer appears on a home builder's site. The idea is to build a connection that looks like a real business relationship, written in the host's own voice.

Which trade pairings do you work with?

We work with contractor and home service trades, such as roofing, plumbing, HVAC, builders, electricians and suppliers, plus some professional and health related hosts. Which pairings are open changes over time. Message us with your client's trade and location, and we will tell you what fits from private inventory.

Will a co-citation link rank my client higher?

We cannot promise that, and we make no claim that co-citation mentions carry extra value. A link is one signal among many. Results depend on the client's site, the competition and the category. We offer these placements because they read as natural connections between real businesses.

Can I choose the host for my client?

Yes, from the options we send. We share the details we can for hosts that fit your client's trade and area, and you pick one and approve the topic and anchor text. We do not publish the host list, since the inventory is private and shared on WhatsApp only.

Are prices listed anywhere?

No. Prices are shared on WhatsApp only and depend on the host, the location and the number of placements. Send the client's trade, URL and location in chat, and we will reply with availability and a quote. There is no public price list on this site.
