The process followed by DWS is slightly different. It is 100% manual and based upon the following qualifiers :
The HOTH GuestPost is an automated product developed by The HOTH. It’s aimed at easing the process of link building by streamlining and smoothening the process. You choose the package based on DA/Traffic. In case you are undecided between the two qualifiers, you can book a call with an expert. Then The HOTH takes over. Your task is over till they get back to you with the completed report.
Unfortunately that leaves no room for pre approval of sites. You only get the detail in the white label report shared with you at the end
DWS follows a 100% manual process. Once you place a request for links, they evaluate your requirement and shortlist the websites for you based upon your niche. They always share the prospect site list along with prices with you for your approval. You can approve/disapprove of these sites. They provide consultation in case you have any doubts
With a qualified team of writers, they provide articles and links that are written keeping in mind the prospect site, the link placement is accurate and it’s a do-follow link.
DWS has an in-house team of writers, well qualified to write articles and content that is specific to the prospect site’s niche.
The content written by HOTH’s in-house team of writers is directly placed on the sites and are not available for pre- approval. Once made live, you cannot ask for any edits to the write up either.
Just like the list of sites, DWS shares the content written by in-house writers with you for your prior approval. They accommodate any
feedback you have on the write ups before making them live.
Once all your links are live you get a report with all your live links and details. They have a 90 day guarantee in case any link goes bad.
They will replace it. However you cannot track your live links at all times.
Besides a report with details of all your live links, DWS has built an inhouse link tracker they use to track all links of their active clients. As soon a guest post goes live, the live link is added to the tracker. As a policy, DWS gives a one year guarantee for all guest posts it does. The tracking feature helps you keep a track of all your lost links. Sometimes just because of the tracking you will be able to win back your lost links with ease.
The HOTH has an automated SEO service where they decide the outreach plan based upon a single interaction with you via a form. The service, HOTH GuestPost gives you a dashboard/user panel where you can place your orders based on DA/Traffic. It eases the process but lacks the human interaction and eliminates any scope for conversations.
DWS makes the process extremely transparent for you at each step. You are free to ask as many questions and schedule a free consultation with SEO experts to clear your doubts. Even after the links are placed, you can monitor your links via the inhouse CRM and they provide as many interactions with experts as you’d like to clear your doubts, whether before or after the link placement.
By nature, The HOTH GuestPost is automated and leaves no room for interaction except at the beginning while deciding the qualifier. Once the link is placed, you can reach out to them in case the link is broken in a period of 90 days.
DWS has a completely different approach. Right at the beginning, after you agree to take the services, they allot a dedicated account manager who is the point of contact for any queries you have.
The account manager fixes weekly/monthly meetings with you to review the current links and get a brief about your further requirements, if any.
When placing the order, it’s mentioned that it’s a super easy process to check the schedule via the Dashboard. However our research tells us that people had to manually follow up to get an update of their order even after the scheduled time frame.
At DWS, you are provided a dedicated account manager who makes the schedule for you. From selecting prospect sites, sharing them with you, getting content created and getting links live, sharing monthly reports, the schedule is followed through while accommodating your feedback at every step..
Both The HOTH & DWS offer bulk discounts.
