Week 1 — Foundations & audit
Claim listings and profiles, verify your domains on xbacklink.org, and audit your existing profile to find gaps and toxic links.
Week 2 — Relevance-matched exchanges
Begin contextual exchanges with topically aligned partners; aim for a handful of quality placements. Prefer 3-way routing.
Week 3 — Editorial diversity
Add one or two guest posts or digital-PR mentions so your profile blends exchanged, earned and editorial links.
Week 4 — Reclaim & review
Reclaim unlinked mentions, fix broken links, review which placements went live, and plan next month. Repeat across every client domain.
