Why links still matter

Quality links raise your domain authority, help pages index faster, and improve rankings for competitive Irish terms.

The 12 tactics (ranked by speed/impact)

  1. Supplier/Brand pages
    Ask to be added to “Where to buy” or “Retailers” pages. Give them your logo, 50-word blurb, and link.

  2. Irish business directories
    Add consistent NAP to reputable directories (Chambers, local enterprise, industry bodies).

  3. Customer/partner features
    Co-create a mini case study; publish on their blog with a link back.

  4. Local sponsorships
    Sponsor a small club/event; request a sponsor profile page with a followed link.

  5. University/college societies
    Offer a student discount or workshop; they often list partners.

  6. Irish PR hooks
    New product launch, charity tie-in, seasonal data (“Top lighting trends in Irish homes 2025”). Send a short press note.

  7. Resource pages
    Find “Resources”/“Tools we love” pages in your niche; pitch your how-to guides.

  8. Guest posts (selective)
    Only on relevant, Irish or EU sites with editorial standards.

  9. Broken link replacement
    Offer your equivalent guide where a resource is 404.

  10. Testimonials
    Give suppliers/apps a testimonial; they often link to your site.

  11. Listicles & roundups
    “Best Irish {category} stores”—submit your store with USPs and photography.

  12. Community give-back
    Run a monthly giveaway with an Irish charity; many will list/support with links.
