1 Learn the concept
Sharing your content with influencers can lead to more brand mentions and better visibility in search. Influencers have audiences who trust them, and a mention can bring traffic and links. This lesson explains how to work with influencers on SEO: choose relevant people, offer something genuine and follow disclosure rules.
2 See it in action
- Choose people whose audience matches yours.
- Offer value, such as useful content or product access, not payment for a link.
- Be transparent and follow disclosure rules.
- Measure referral traffic and mentions.
Worked example
A short outreach message
"Hi Dana, I enjoyed your post on winter skincare. We published a guide to ingredients that suit dry skin, with a free checklist. If it helps your readers, I would be glad if you shared it. No obligation, and thanks for the great work."
Why it works: it is specific, it respects her and it offers value.
Follow up once after a week.
Result to look for: a mention or link, and a relationship for next time.
