Every fact on this page names its source and the date it was checked. Where a claim cannot be supported, it does not appear.
SEO.co is the trading name of Audience Bloom Services, LLC, selling managed link building from seo.co on retainer or as one-off placements. The link-building page names six acquisition routes: blogger outreach with provider-written content, niche edits, broken-link acquisition, syndication, citations, and digital PR, alongside broader technical, content, local, and AI search programmes. Agencies can buy white-label fulfilment, and a dedicated local programme serves location-based businesses.
Buyers are promised publisher and content approval before anything is pitched or published, contextual in-body links, no private blog networks or link farms, and human-written placements. A monthly portal report names the domain, placement URL, anchor, Domain Rating, and live status, with weekly status updates in between. Local work adds chambers, sponsorships, and local media coverage next to citations, Google Business Profile management, and location pages.
Request a current quote; the payable amount could not be confirmed, and earlier campaign-budget figures are not a rate card. The July 2026 services agreement governs paid work, generally prepaid and terminable on 30 days' notice, and it narrows the marketing promises: approval is waived below a Domain Authority of 50, only that metric is guaranteed, and rankings, traffic, and sales are expressly disclaimed. Paid deliverables arrive under a non-exclusive licence rather than ownership. The Seattle and West Palm Beach addresses are published contact locations, and the 2010 founding account is the company's own history rather than a registry record.

SEO.co sells managed link building on retainer or as one-off placements. The service page names six acquisition routes, including blogger outreach with provider-written content, niche edits, broken-link acquisition, syndication, citations, and digital PR, and promises contextual in-body links while ruling out private blog networks, link farms, and comment spam. Buyers approve publishers and content before anything goes live, with unlimited revisions, and receive a monthly portal report naming the domain, URL, anchor, Domain Rating, and live status. A local programme adds chambers, sponsorships, and local media beside citations and Google Business Profile work.
Request a current quote; the payable amount could not be confirmed. The paid services agreement narrows the marketing promises: publisher approval is waived below a Domain Authority of 50, anchor and URL choice sit with the agency, and only that one metric is guaranteed while rankings, traffic, and sales are expressly disclaimed. Payment is generally due before work begins, deliverables arrive under a non-exclusive licence rather than ownership, and broad publication restrictions apply. No placement deadline, response-time promise, or delivery sample is published.

How the position is calculated: on each eligible ranking, rated providers are ordered by Service Fit Score only. That order is converted to a 0–100 value, and the values are averaged equally across the company's appearances. Rankings that do not include the company are omitted from the average.
Equal Service Fit Scores share the average of the positions they cover. A gap under 0.5 points is a tie: shared rank, alphabetical order, no hidden tie-breaker.
Each fact below comes from a primary source, such as the company's own pages or a public register, and was checked on 2026-09-05.
Legal operator
The site operator is Audience Bloom Services, LLC, doing business as SEO.co. The services agreement describes it as a Washington corporation despite the LLC suffix, so the exact entity form is unresolved. The privacy policy describes affiliated brands under common ownership but names no legal parent.

Brand history
The company says the brand began as AudienceBloom in Seattle in 2010 and became SEO.co in 2019, and names Nate Nead (CEO), Sam Edwards (CMO), and Timothy Carter (Chief Relationship Officer). That history is a first-party claim, not a registry-verified incorporation record.

Regulatory record
A FINRA BrokerCheck disclosure identifies Audience Bloom Services LLC DBA SEO.CO with Nathaniel Thomas Nead as owner, CEO, and managing member from January 2019. It corroborates the trading association only, not corporate standing, entity form, or any parent.

Operating model
The company's own description of its model: managed outreach placements sold on retainer or as one-off placements, spanning blogger outreach with provider-written content, niche edits, broken-link acquisition, syndication, citations, and digital PR, with a managed pathway joining audit, strategy, execution, and measurement.

In the company's terms
The July 2026 services agreement governs paid work together with the order or proposal: payment is generally due before work, the client may order changed or no services in later months, and the client may terminate on 30 days' notice subject to its order. Permanent removal within 90 days carries conditional replacement or refund, and qualified non-delivery after five months carries a refund or replacement route once content is approved and submitted.

Approval and quality limits
The service page promises publisher and content approval plus unlimited revisions, but the agreement waives approval below a Domain Authority of 50, leaves anchor and URL choice to the agency, guarantees only that metric, and disclaims rankings, referral traffic, and sales. Nofollow replacement is discretionary and excludes known nofollow inventory.

Content rights
Full payment grants a perpetual worldwide non-exclusive licence for ordinary business use rather than ownership, alongside broad publication authorization, content and IP restrictions, and a written marketing opt-out.
Reporting
The company promises a monthly portal backlink report naming the domain, placement URL, anchor, Domain Rating, and live status, plus weekly status updates.
