FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our link building services

How does The Trust Agency approach link building specifically for card game companies?

We build custom link acquisition strategies around how players actually discover and research card games-focusing on placements on TCG blogs, review sites, tabletop gaming media, community hubs, and influencer-owned sites. Every campaign is tailored to your business model, whether you sell physical decks, digital card games, accessories, or run a content/marketplace platform.

What types of link building services do you offer for the card game industry?

We provide the full spectrum of link building: white-hat editorial and guest posts on card game and tabletop sites, digital PR for new launches or expansions, HARO and expert source links, as well as more advanced options like Web 2.0s, forums, and private PBN assets for brands that want aggressive growth. All services are organized into a unified strategy so your backlink profile looks natural and supports long-term rankings.

How do you ensure the links you build for card game brands are high quality and safe?

We vet each site for topical relevance to gaming, trading card games, collectibles, or entertainment, and assess metrics like organic traffic, backlink health, and content quality. For brands that prioritize safety, we focus on pure white-hat placements on genuine editorial sites and use dofollow, one-way links that align with Google’s guidelines and build real authority.

Can you customize campaigns for different card game niches like TCGs, LCGs, or digital card games?

Yes-every campaign is fully custom. We segment outreach by niche (e.g., MTG-style TCGs, deck-building games, competitive digital card games, or family card games) and align placements with your audience, whether that’s competitive players, collectors, casual gamers, or parents. Your strategy, anchor text, and content angles are all tailored to your specific products and KPIs.

How is pricing structured for your card game industry link building services?

We offer both packaged foundational options and fully managed custom campaigns, with pricing based on link volume, authority level, and service mix (e.g., digital PR vs. guest posts vs. PBNs). You can start with affordable foundational tiers and scale into premium, enterprise-level placements as your card game brand grows and your SEO goals expand.

What deliverables will I receive with a typical card game link building campaign?

You’ll get a detailed placement report including live URLs, anchor text, target pages, domain authority/DR, estimated traffic, and placement type (guest post, PR, forum, Web 2.0, PBN, etc.). When content is involved, we also provide copies or previews of articles and can coordinate with you on key talking points like mechanics, expansions, and unique selling propositions.

How do you report on performance and SEO impact for card game websites?

We provide transparent reporting dashboards or periodic reports that track new links, authority metrics, and ranking changes for priority keywords such as game names, deck archetypes, or “buy” and “review” terms. We can also integrate with your analytics to monitor organic traffic growth to key pages like product listings, rules pages, and deck-building guides.

Do you support white label link building for card game-focused marketing agencies?

Yes, we offer fully white label and reseller options for agencies that serve card game publishers, retailers, or game studios. You can plug our full-spectrum link building into your service stack under your own brand, while we handle strategy, execution, and reporting behind the scenes.

How long does it take to see results from card game link building campaigns?

Most card game brands begin seeing measurable ranking and traffic improvements within 8–16 weeks, depending on competition, site age, and how aggressively we build links. We typically start with quick-win opportunities while we roll out higher-authority placements that compound your organic visibility over time.

Do you offer any guarantees for rankings or sales for card game brands?

We don’t guarantee specific rankings or sales because search performance depends on many factors outside of links, such as on-page SEO, competition, and product-market fit. We do guarantee that we will deliver the agreed number and type of links on vetted sites and follow the strategic framework we set with you to maximize your long-term organic growth potential.
