Who We Are

A specialist link building company—not a generalist SEO agency.

SEOlutions manages backlink campaigns for companies and SEO professionals that need relevant external authority. Depending on the campaign, that can mean a newly published guest article, an insertion into an established page, a media feature, local business citations, a mixed authority package or a placement on a privately managed network.

The common thread is control. We review the target page, topical context, publisher or domain, placement format, surrounding content and delivery conditions before a link becomes part of a campaign.

Our job is not to sell the same backlink to every buyer. It is to match the placement type to the website, market, risk profile and search objective.

What We Do

Link building services matched to different campaign needs.

SEOlutions offers several placement models because a local service page, an ecommerce category, a SaaS landing page and a competitive affiliate project do not require the same backlink strategy.

Who We Work With

Built for buyers who understand that placement quality depends on context.

Our campaigns support both direct clients and professional SEO teams. The service format changes, but the core requirement remains the same: a clear target page, a defined search goal and a placement that makes sense around it.

SEO Agencies White-label and recurring campaign support
SaaS Companies Category, feature and commercial-page authority
Ecommerce Brands Category, product and brand visibility
Affiliates Competitive off-page campaigns and testing
Local Businesses Citations, geographic relevance and local authority
How We Work

A link is only useful when the target, source and context belong together.

Our campaign process is designed to reduce blind buying and make the delivered placement easier to evaluate.

01

Target mapping

We review the website, target pages, keyword intent, competing results and the type of authority gap the campaign needs to close.

02

Placement selection

Publishers, existing pages, local sources or network domains are matched to the topic, market, placement model and risk profile.

03

Contextual integration

The surrounding content should explain why the brand, resource or destination page belongs in the article—not merely contain an anchor.

04

Verification & reporting

Completed placements are checked and delivered with the live URLs and relevant placement details for the buyer’s own review.

Leadership

Founder-led strategy, operations and quality control.

SEOlutions is led by the same two people who founded the company. Janis Thies and Roman Filimonov remain directly involved in the methodology, service development and operational standards behind our link building campaigns.

Janis Thies

Janis Thies co-founded SEOlutions GmbH and leads the company’s strategic direction, link building methodology and service development. His work focuses on backlink acquisition, authority building, competitive link analysis, publisher fit and how off-page signals change across search updates.

Before SEOlutions became a formal company, Janis worked on affiliate and search projects in the early SEO communities where testing, attribution and measurable ranking movement mattered more than agency presentation. That operator mindset still shapes how SEOlutions evaluates links today.

Roman Filimonov

Roman Filimonov co-founded SEOlutions GmbH and oversees operations, publisher relationships, campaign delivery and quality control. His role is to turn campaign requirements into repeatable processes without reducing placement review to a single third-party metric.

Roman’s operational focus covers sourcing, communication, content coordination, delivery checks and the long-term management required for recurring link building services and privately controlled assets.

Our History

From private SEO communities to a registered German link building company.

SEOlutions grew out of practical search marketing work, not a general advertising agency model. The company evolved as link evaluation, outreach and search quality systems changed.

2010–2012

Early SEO and affiliate testing

Janis Thies and Roman Filimonov worked on search and affiliate projects during the period when communities such as WickedFire and WaFo were major hubs for practical SEO testing.

2012

The founders connect

Janis and Roman met through private SEO circles and began collaborating around backlinks, network operation, testing and scalable search campaigns.

2013

SEOlutions GmbH is founded

The partnership was formalized as SEOlutions GmbH in Bremen, with Janis Thies and Roman Filimonov as managing directors.

2014–2018

From volume to stronger placement review

As Google changed how it evaluated links, thin sites and manipulative patterns, SEOlutions expanded its focus from link quantity toward domain history, topical relevance, real visibility, contextual placement and infrastructure quality.

2019–2024

Broader publisher and authority services

The service portfolio developed beyond traditional link packages to include a larger publisher inventory, guest posts, digital PR, link insertions, local authority building and brand-led editorial placements.

Today

A specialist off-page SEO operation

SEOlutions supports agencies, companies and experienced SEO teams through a mix of transparent publisher selection, managed campaigns, specialist link products and founder-led quality control.

How We Think About Links

Metrics narrow the list. Relevance, context and control make the decision.

DR, DA, traffic estimates and referring-domain counts can help compare websites, but none of them is a Google quality score. We use metrics as filters and then review the source, topic, page, content, outbound-link pattern and campaign fit.

We also distinguish clearly between placement models. A newly published guest post is not the same product as a niche edit. A one-time PBN article is not the same as a rented homepage sticky. A local citation is not a replacement for a relevant editorial backlink. Buyers should understand what they are ordering and why it belongs in the campaign.

No backlink provider can guarantee rankings, immunity from algorithm changes or citation by an AI system. Our role is to provide clear terms, relevant placement options, accurate reporting and experienced judgment—not to hide risk behind vague promises.
