Success Stories

See how leading companies leverage our advanced link building services

AAA Steam Game Publisher Launching a Flagship Title

A large gaming publisher preparing a AAA launch on Steam uses The Trust Agency to orchestrate a custom, multi-tier link building campaign. The strategy combines digital PR placements on top gaming news sites, HARO expert quotes from their lead developers, and high DA contextual backlinks from major entertainment and tech publications to dominate branded and non-branded search around the title and its DLC roadmap.

Outcome

The launch title’s Steam store page and official site rank top 3 for core game-related keywords, organic referral traffic from editorial features spikes by 120%, and the brand achieves a defensible authority moat against competing releases in the same window.

Indie Studio Scaling Visibility for a Niche Steam Roguelike

A small indie studio with a limited marketing budget partners with The Trust Agency for affordable, natural link building focused on long-tail discovery keywords (e.g., 'best pixel art roguelike on Steam'). The campaign centers on guest posts on mid-tier gaming blogs, forum link building in curated communities, and Web 2.0 assets to diversify the backlink profile and push their Steam page and website up the SERPs.

Outcome

Organic search traffic to the game’s landing page increases by 80%, wishlist additions climb steadily in the months prior to launch, and the studio reduces reliance on paid ads while building sustainable, keyword-driven visibility in the Steam ecosystem.

SaaS Tool for Steam Developers Growing B2B Signups

A SaaS platform that provides analytics and ASO tools specifically for Steam and PC game developers engages The Trust Agency for strategic B2B link building. The Trust Agency crafts educational content that earns high-authority links from marketing, dev, and VC-focused publications, along with targeted guest posts on game dev blogs to rank for intent-rich queries like 'Steam game keyword research tool' and 'Steam store conversion optimization'.

Outcome

Trial signups from organic search double within six months, the SaaS brand becomes a cited authority in multiple 'best tools for Steam devs' roundup pages, and domain authority climbs enough to significantly lower customer acquisition costs.

E-commerce Store Selling PC Gaming Gear to Steam Players

An e-commerce retailer specializing in controllers, headsets, and accessories for PC and Steam gamers works with The Trust Agency to build authority in the gaming hardware niche. The campaign mixes high DA editorial placements on tech review sites, content marketing around buyer guides (e.g., 'best controllers for Steam games'), and selective PBN/Web 2.0 assets to rapidly strengthen ranking power for commercial keywords.

Outcome

The store secures first-page rankings for multiple product and category terms tied to Steam gaming, achieving a 60% increase in organic revenue from non-branded traffic and improved perceived authority in the gaming peripherals segment.

SEO & PR Agency White-Labeling Steam Gaming Link Building

A digital marketing agency serving several game studios and PC gaming brands uses The Trust Agency as a fully white-label link building department. They outsource custom, campaign-specific solutions-ranging from ethical digital PR for family-friendly titles to more aggressive link velocity strategies for competitive keywords-while maintaining a single reporting layer under their own brand.

Outcome

The agency increases retainers across its gaming client portfolio, cuts internal outreach costs by over 50%, and consistently delivers measurable ranking improvements and authority gains without hiring or managing in-house link building staff.

Local Esports & Gaming Lounge Attracting Steam Gamers

A local gaming cafe and esports lounge that hosts Steam-based tournaments (e.g., CS2, Dota 2) engages The Trust Agency for local and multi-location link building. The campaign leverages local news features, event listings, gaming community forums, and niche directories, combined with geo-targeted content about 'Steam LAN events' and 'PC gaming lounge near me' to improve both map pack and organic rankings.

Outcome

Local search visibility for gaming and esports keywords improves markedly, tournament registrations fill faster, and recurring foot traffic from Steam-focused players increases as the lounge becomes the top local result for competitive PC gaming searches.
