Got here from a reply to your link request? Here’s how we think about them, and what we’d suggest instead.

Everything published on Growth Method is written by us, for marketers who want to get better at their craft. We write about what we’re actually doing, what’s working, and what isn’t. It’s drawn from building Growth Method, advising B2B teams, and running campaigns for ourselves and for clients. No ghostwriters, no recycled listicles.

Link requests

We get why you’re asking. Articles, comparisons and guides are where buyers build a shortlist, and increasingly where ChatGPT and Claude find their answers. Being mentioned in them matters.

We receive hundreds of “collaboration opportunity” requests every month. Most ask us to feature a company, add a backlink, or slip a sponsored link into an existing article, in exchange for a link back or a small admin fee.

What we write about, and who we recommend, isn’t for sale, so we don’t say yes to cold requests for guest posts, paid placements or link swaps. We’d much rather get to know you first, and share bigger ideas than a link.

For in-house teams and agencies

Most link requests come from marketers who are short on time and under pressure to get results. That’s the problem Growth Method solves. Its agents plan, launch and analyse marketing campaigns using your live data, so you can run more campaigns without more hours in the day.

If you run campaigns for clients too, it’s built for that. Our founder, Stuart, built and exited the B2B agency The Digital Elite before starting Growth Method:

• A workspace for every client: each with its own goal, strategy, campaigns, integrations and billing, completely separate from the others
• One login for every client: switch between them in a click
• Clients keep their data: if you part ways, they keep their workspace and everything in it, which makes Growth Method an easy thing to propose
• Results clients can see: each campaign is analysed against the client’s goal, and the retrospective lives next to the campaign

Start with your own marketing. Get started, connect your live data, and launch your first campaign.

A better conversation than a link swap

Once you’ve tried it, talk to Stuart:

• Swap notes: whether you run SEO, GEO, paid or content campaigns, we’d like to compare what’s working and explore how we could work together over the long term
• Feedback: we’re always looking for feedback from smart marketers. Jump on a call, we’ll show you how we and our customers use the platform, and you tell us what you think
• Collaboration: maybe a backlink, but ideally something more valuable that you’d be proud to share with your team and customers
