A clear process from brief to live Romanian links

No black-box deliveries. You see the shortlist, approve the strategy, and track every URL from pitch to publication.

Romanian editorial campaigns fail when agencies skip vetting or treat every publisher like a commodity. We built our process around client approvals, editor relationships, and measurable quality checks.

The same five steps scale from a 10-link starter package to a 12-month retainer. Velocity changes. Standards do not.

Overview

Five steps, one quality bar

  1. Step 1

    Discovery & competitor gap analysis

    We audit your current referring domains, map competitors winning Romanian visibility, and define topical clusters where editorial links will matter most. You leave this stage with a clear gap list and priority keywords.

    3-5 business days

  2. Step 2

    Publisher shortlist & approvals

    We assemble a vetted shortlist of .ro and regional publishers matched to your niche, budget, and risk tolerance. You approve targets before outreach starts. Rejected sites stay rejected.

    4-7 business days

  3. Step 3

    Content briefs & outreach

    Our editors write briefs that fit each outlet's audience. Outreach pitches focus on usefulness to readers, not raw link requests. Romanian-language pitches go out when the newsroom expects them.

    Ongoing through campaign

  4. Step 4

    Placement, revisions & live QA

    We manage editor feedback, confirm dofollow status, check anchor placement, and verify indexation signals. Nothing is marked delivered until the live URL meets the brief.

    2-6 weeks per wave

  5. Step 5

    Reporting, monitoring & replacement

    Monthly reports cover live links, anchors, publisher metrics, and progress to target. We monitor for drops during the guarantee window and replace lost placements when the fault sits with the publisher.

    Monthly + 12-month watch

Deep dive

What happens in each stage

01

Discovery & competitor gap analysis

We start with your analytics, Search Console, and a referring-domain export. If you cannot share tools access, we work from public Ahrefs or Semrush snapshots and your keyword priorities.

Competitor mapping focuses on Romanian and regional domains that already rank for your money terms. We note which competitors earn news coverage, which rely on niche blogs, and where citation gaps hurt local visibility.

The deliverable is a short strategy memo: target link velocity, recommended mix of guest posts versus niche edits versus PR, risk notes, and a draft budget range. You approve direction before we spend outreach time.

02

Publisher shortlist & approvals

Elena's publisher team pulls candidates from our verified inventory and runs fresh checks on traffic trend, outbound patterns, and section relevance. A DR 60 site with collapsing traffic does not make the list.

You receive a spreadsheet with domain, metrics, sample fees, language, and why each site fits. Approve, pause, or reject line by line. Wishlist domains get a feasibility note within a few business days.

This stage prevents the classic agency problem of discovering after the invoice that half the links came from sites you would never associate with your brand.

03

Content briefs & outreach

Ioana's editorial team writes briefs that answer a real reader question for that outlet. We avoid recycled English translations that Romanian editors spot immediately.

Outreach is personalized. We reference recent articles, section themes, and why your expert angle helps their audience. Cold templates that only ask for a sponsored slot get weak acceptance rates, so we do not rely on them.

For digital PR, Thomas packages data, visuals, and a news hook before pitching journalists. Timing around industry events in Bucharest and national news cycles is part of the plan.

04

Placement, revisions & live QA

When an editor accepts, we manage revisions until the piece meets both newsroom standards and your brand guidelines. Anchors stay natural. Over-optimized exact-match spam is rejected on our side first.

Live QA checks include HTTP status, dofollow confirmation, correct destination URL, contextual placement, and a quick indexation probe. Screenshots and URLs go into your tracker the same week the link goes live.

If a publisher under-delivers on the agreed section or link type, we renegotiate or replace rather than quietly marking it done.

05

Reporting, monitoring & replacement

Monthly reporting is written for marketers who need to brief stakeholders. You get counts against plan, notable wins, risks, and next-month priorities. Raw URL lists are always included.

We re-check delivered links during the 12-month guarantee window. Removals caused by publisher redesigns or commercial policy changes are replaced with comparable placements.

Quarterly strategy calls adjust velocity and mix based on ranking movement and competitor response. The process stays iterative without restarting from zero each month.
