How Help an SEO Out (HASO) Works
Step 1: Add your client's niche, city, and state
You add your client's niche, city, and state - Anonymously, so no one knows your client's website address until there is a real opportunity.
Step 2: HASO Shares Your Websites with 1000s of SEOs
We share your sites (privately) with everyone in the network. Everyone Wins!
Step 3: You and another HASO SEO negotiate a link swap. Done.
HASO members browse the network and think, YEAH! I have a client in that area, I'd like to get a link from you. They message you, you negotiate a swap, everyone gets a link. Done.
What Kind of Links do I get from HASO?
Real Local Businesses Only — No PBNs, No Over-Farmed Niche Sites, No BS!
Same Geo, Adjacent Niche (Geo Authority)
A dentist in Phoenix swaps with a chiropractor across town. A plumber in Miami links with a roofer in Fort Lauderdale. You don't need to be in the same niche — a link from any real business in your area tells Google your site belongs in that local market.
Same Niche, Different Geo (Niche Authority)
An HVAC company in Chicago exchanges with one in Cincinnati. A therapist in Calgary connects with a practice in Berkeley. When sites in the same industry link to each other — even across the country — it builds topical authority and tells Google your site is a trusted voice in that space.
Two-Way and Multi-Site Exchanges
Most SEOs manage multiple client sites — and that's an advantage. Link Site A to Site B, Site B to Site C, and Site C back to A. Multi-site exchanges create natural-looking link profiles with no direct reciprocal pattern. Just real businesses linking to each other the way they naturally would.
Guest Posts / Editorial Links
Write a guest post for a partner's blog, or get added to their local resource page. These are contextual, editorial links surrounded by real content on real websites — not sidebar widgets or footer spam. The kind of placement that actually moves rankings.
Keyword or Domain Anchors
You negotiate anchor text directly with your exchange partner. Want "best plumber in Miami"? Done. Prefer a branded anchor or a natural phrase? Your call. You control the anchor, the placement, and the surrounding context — something you'll never get from a directory or citation.
Brand Mentions & Expert Quotes
(E-E-A-T Signals)
Not every exchange has to be a dofollow link. Members quote each other as local experts, mention brands in roundup posts, and co-author content. These unlinked mentions and expert citations build E-E-A-T signals and diversify your profile beyond what pure link swaps can do.

It's up to you and the SEO you negotiate with on how you'll structure the exchange. Reciprocal links are not bad (IMHO) in reasonable volumes. It's local business doing business with local business. You can also arrange three way links. It is up to you.
In our opinion, a good listing is one that is logically related to your business and a reasonable distance away. It's local businesses doing business with local businesses.
The number of links you get will depend greatly on the number of websites in the network in your area. So it's hard to say. We intend to aggressively grow the network. You might end up with dozens or even 100 links over the course of 1 year.
Then you should not waste everyone's time. Other SEOs in the network expect some sort of link swap arrangement.
When you negotiate a link exchange with another SEO, they'll share the site and eventually the link.
You can decline if you don't like the offer.
That's up to you and the SEO you negotiate with. Most of the time each side writes up a quick blog post and includes the link.
The median time to receive your first message is 7.1 days. Some members get responses within hours of adding their first website. It depends on how many other SEOs have sites in your area — busier metros tend to match faster. As the network grows, this number keeps improving.
Yes! The number of websites you can have active simultaneously depends on your plan. Each listing stays active for a set period, and you can repost them after they expire.
All websites on HASO come from SEO professionals. You get to review each listing and negotiate terms before any exchange happens. Since these are direct relationships with other SEOs, you can make the decision on the quality of the links you are willing to exchange.
Domain Authority is NOT important here. Locality and relevance is what's important. These will be mostly local business website with low domain authority (except if they are franchise sites which could have higher DA). These types of links are local businesses linking to local businesses, just like what business owners should do if they knew anything about SEO.
Because every listing is visible to the network. You wouldn't want a list of your clients' URLs exposed to everyone, would you?
For each website, you'll need to provide basic information (niche, city, state). We also provide "Will link to" and "Will link from" options to help you find the right matches.
There's no limit to how many link exchanges you can make on one website you post. But you can only have a certain number of active websites at once, based on your plan. You could post one website and get 100 links in return, or 25 websites and get only 10 links in return. It all depends on the number of listings in the network at the time.
Browse all active listings on your HASO dashboard. Every opportunity shows the niche and location — no URLs are revealed until you connect with another member. New sites are added daily, and HASO's matching system highlights opportunities near you.
When a listing expires, it's removed from the active listings. You can easily repost the same website if you want to continue seeking links. This expiration system helps keep all listings in the network fresh and active.
