Explore the remote job marketBacklink Outreach / Link-Building Specialist at Assist World
We’re looking for a Backlink Outreach / Link-Building Specialist to help grow our website’s authority through high-quality backlink acquisition and editorial outreach.
Your primary responsibility will be to secure relevant, authoritative placements and grow the number of high-quality referring domains through channels such as HARO/Qwoted, podcasts, guest posts, and other editorial opportunities.
This is a results-driven role . We care about the quality and impact of the placements you secure — not simply how many pitches you send.
What you’ll do
- Identify relevant, authoritative websites and media opportunities for backlink acquisition.
- Conduct targeted outreach to secure editorial placements.
- Pursue opportunities through HARO/Qwoted, podcasts, guest posts, and similar channels .
- Build and manage relationships with relevant outlets and publishers.
- Manage opportunities from initial outreach through to confirmed placement.
- Maintain an active pipeline of upcoming backlink and editorial opportunities.
- Track placements and referring-domain growth using Semrush .
- Monitor backlink quality and flag potentially spammy, low-authority, or paid-placement-heavy opportunities.
Provide a concise weekly report covering
- Placements landed
- Placements currently in progress
- New referring domains
- Any red flags or issues
- Your target outlets/sites for the following week
How You’ll Be Measured
Your performance will be evaluated against four core KPIs
New Referring Domains
15–25 new referring domains per month
Dofollow, Editorial-Relevant Links
70%+ of new links
Authority Score Trend
+0.5–1.0 average monthly increase
Placements Landed
4–8 placements per month
These KPIs are designed to measure actual results , rather than activity. Metrics such as total backlinks, pitches sent, or emails opened are not considered success metrics.
AI search citations will also be tracked separately through monthly spot-checks of priority queries.
What Success Looks Like
You’ll thrive in this role if you can consistently
- Secure genuine editorial placements on relevant websites.
- Grow the number of high-quality referring domains.
- Maintain a strong percentage of dofollow, editorially relevant links.
- Build a healthy pipeline of future placement opportunities.
- Contribute to consistent growth in Authority Score.
- Recognize and avoid low-quality or spammy backlink opportunities.
- Take ownership of your outreach pipeline and results.
If you have a strong background in backlink outreach, link building, digital PR, editorial outreach, or securing earned media placements and are motivated by measurable results, we’d love to hear from you.
