Shortlist - an excellent SEO link building partner
Shortlist and their team, led by Darko in my case, did extremely well and delivered on all aspects of our cooperation.
They worked on some of our link-building campaigns for around a year and the performance was excellent.
Articles were of great quality human written, and tailored to our niche. If there ever was a problem with a website where a link was built – it was very swiftly corrected or improved, and the communication from their team was excellent.
Shortlist is a recommended SEO and link-building service.

ElephantDrive brought Shortlist.io's…
ElephantDrive brought Shortlist.io’s team on to help us improve our organic traffic – they’ve been nothing short of amazing. We work with them doing on-page SEO, guest articles around the internet and content for our own blog, and it’s one of the few vendors we consider to be part of our team. A+
Within 6 months we’re seeing a noticable bump in the way google looks at us, and as a result, the traffic we receive.
