# Local Link Building

> Local link building earns links and mentions from websites in your community: chambers of commerce, associations, local news, schools, events, suppliers and partners. We find the opportunities you already qualify for, pitch local stories, and document sponsorships and memberships so they show up online.

Most local businesses already sponsor teams, join associations and work with partners. The links are there to be claimed.

## Why it matters now
Local links tell Google and AI assistants that a business is part of its community. They are also hard for out-of-state competitors to copy.

## What is included
- Local opportunity research by town
- Chamber and association listings
- Sponsorship and event pages
- Partner and supplier links
- Local news and community stories

## How we do it
1. **Inventory.** List memberships, sponsorships and partners you already have.

## Frequently asked questions
### Do you buy links?

No. Paid links that pass ranking value break Google's rules. Sponsorships are fine, and those links should be marked appropriately.

### Which New Hampshire organizations help most?

Chambers of commerce, trade associations, local news sites and community organizations in the towns you serve are usually the best starting points.
