The Client

Slazzer is an AI-powered background removal tool. Designers, marketplaces and e-commerce teams use it to remove image backgrounds in seconds.

It had a strong product and a large existing audience, but organic growth had stalled.

The Challenge

Slazzer was already getting about 1 million organic visitors a month, yet growth had stopped. Design tools is a competitive category, and a backlink profile of just 87 referring domains was not strong enough to push its most valuable pages higher.

For a site that size, the gap was authority rather than content.

The Playbook

1. A fast, sustained link campaign

Over 8 months we built 425 backlinks, an average of about 53 links per month. That is a much faster pace than our other case studies, which suited a site that already had a large audience and a mature content library.

2. How the links were placed

Every link went on a real, relevant site that passed our vetting: real organic traffic, a human editor and a clean outbound link profile. No PBNs and no automated link placement.

Links were placed either as niche edits (links added to existing articles) or as guest posts (new articles). In both cases the site’s editor reviewed the placement and could refuse it. Our fee covers the outreach work and any placement fee the publisher charges.

3. Authority aimed at the pages that matter

We pointed links at Slazzer’s most valuable pages and kept a natural anchor profile, rather than spreading links evenly across the site.

• Ranking keywords: 10,038 → 25,681

Growth held for the rest of the campaign rather than spiking and falling back.

About the Data

Traffic, ranking-keyword, Domain Rating and referring-domain figures are Ahrefs estimates, measured at campaign start and end. Ahrefs traffic is a modelled estimate of organic visits, not the client’s own analytics, so treat the numbers as directional.
