The challenge
AI image tools launch daily, and tattoo design is a niche where buyers search visually and competition for the head terms is brutal. BlackInk needed a durable authority base, not another launch-day spike.
What we did
A longer, steadier programme than most: three months of hand submissions across AI, design and consumer-app directories, batched gradually so listings indexed properly instead of arriving as one suspicious burst.
The result
Domain Rating went 15 to 35 over the 90 days, with about 10,500 backlinks at a 66% dofollow share and a tripling of organic traffic.
