Founders Naveed Chinoy and Ahsan Mustafa started LBHQ in January 2018, after years of building links by hand for a handful of clients. The work yielded results, but it did not scale, so they built the portal they wished existed: a single dashboard for ordering, tracking, and managing outreach, instead of spreadsheets and email threads.
Eventually, they hit the wall every link builder experiences: a shrinking pool of usable domains. They realized that the fix was to revolutionize prospect outreach rather than recycling the same sites. That discipline and dedication for excellence is a large part of why LBHQ scaled to 3,500+ agencies.
Another testament to their resilience and vision is the ability to adapt as trends change. Amid the emergence of AI search and overviews, they rose to the occasion and expanded their services to include AI search optimization to cater to clients' changing needs.

problem the portal didn't solve yet.
The founding service. The portal was built around it in 2018, and it still carries most of our 11,000+ delivered projects.
Added when agencies began asking for brand coverage on major publications, not just backlinks.
Built for the agencies on our roster whose clients win or lose city by city, not keyword by keyword.
White label link building with no LBHQ branding anywhere in the deliverable.
In practice: resell everything we do under your own brand. Your clients never see LBHQ.
Consumer and B2B brands use us to build authority without hiring an internal outreach team.
In practice: we run the campaigns, you keep the strategy.
We run editorial link campaigns that require a scale a single in-house team cannot easily match.
In practice: editorial campaigns at a scale one team can't match alone.
