Finding a Cornerstone Outreach Platform While Bootstrapping a Young Agency
Hive19 is a Brighton-based link building agency with a strong reputation for high quality results. For companies in need of specialized link building services, Hive19 has quickly established itself as a major player in the industry. Their expertise, particularly in Fintech and SaaS, and their unique creativity and analytical approach set them apart from other SEO agencies.
Founded in 2020, right in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic, Hive19 faced multiple challenges in addition to the usual uphill battle of bootstrapping a young agency. Despite the challenges, Managing Director Aaron Thomas knew that bespoke, quality link building was valuable, and with the right tools and processes, could be scalable.
With nearly 15 years of industry experience, including first-hand experience with link building outreach, Aaron had a full sense of the reasons many agencies struggle with link building or choose to outsource it altogether. Without the right tools and processes, link building is too labor-intensive and time-consuming.
“We knew that we needed to make the right decisions early. We knew Pitchbox was going to be the core of how we run our product delivery.”
Complete Process Management With Pitchbox
By choosing Pitchbox as their link building platform from day one, Hive19 established a scalable and efficient process immediately. With Pitchbox handling the heavy lifting involved with prospecting, contact discovery, outreach, and follow-up, the Hive19 team could focus more time on quality review.
That quality review process helped the team make sure the websites they reached out to had the right metrics and content relevancy for each client.
