4. Strategy

Client-Led Keyword Targeting, Enhanced by LinkPanda’s Authority Link Building
  • High-Intent Keyword Targeting (Client-Led):
    The client identified “dog training singapore” as the core commercial keyword, based on competitor traffic insights and third-party tool validation (Ahrefs, Semrush).

  • Content Structuring for Search Intent (Client-Led):
    The client launched an informational blog post first, later transitioning to a dedicated service page once the physical training centre was operational—aligning content with user intent and SERP trends.

  • High DR Link Sourcing (LinkPanda-Executed):
    LinkPanda executed a precision 1-by-1 outreach campaign focused on acquiring editorial backlinks from high-authority, niche-relevant websites. Every backlink opportunity was manually vetted to meet the client’s standards for quality and topical relevance.

  • Quality Domain Selection with Client Pre-Approval (LinkPanda-Executed):
    Our team prioritized securing backlinks from respected pet care publications, with a focus on relevance, and domain authority to boost organic visibility. PetCoach approved or rejected each domain oppportunity prior to sourcing the link mention.

  • Consolidation & Monitoring (Client-Led):
    The client monitored performance between the blog and service pages, ultimately redirecting all efforts to the better-performing service page to eliminate cannibalization and strengthen authority.

The Client Experience

“We’ve worked with Link Panda for a while now, and I can say with confidence—they know what they’re doing when it comes to SEO. In an industry full of noise and low barriers to entry, it’s rare to find someone as credible and trustworthy as them. They’re not pushy, always patient, and genuinely invested in your long-term growth. What really stood out to me is that they don’t just sell links. They take the time to understand your SEO strategy as a whole, and work with you to achieve results. Case in point: within six months of working with them, we hit the top spot locally for “dog training Singapore.” The results speak for themselves. If you’re looking for relevant, high-quality links and a team that actually understands the bigger picture—Link Panda is the real deal.”
