About LabsMedia: we built the link-building team as software

LabsMedia is an AI link building company that does one thing: backlinks. Scout, our backlink bot, does a link-building team’s whole job, and backlink specialists step in where a person should decide. It started with one founder’s goal: link-building that grows as fast as the business.

Why LabsMedia exists

“We wanted our backlink work to grow as fast as our clients did. Growing a team one hire at a time couldn’t keep that pace, and AI could do far more for a backlink team than anyone was using it for. So we spent over a year building the whole link-building team as software.”

We didn’t set out to build software for backlinks. We were running an SEO agency, our clients were growing fast, and more than a dozen sites each needed backlinks against their own targets.

We wanted our backlink work to keep up: to work directly with site owners, grow capacity without growing headcount first, keep our know-how in one place and getting better with every site, see every step, keep the work moving every day, and give every site its own targets.

So we spent over a year turning every process, every workflow and every lesson into a system that does the whole job, from finding the right sites to confirming each backlink is live. It runs every day, it takes on each new site with its own targets, and every step is logged.

That system is LabsMedia. Scout, our backlink bot, does the work. Our backlink specialists keep watch. You approve one quote a month, and Scout works inside it.

SIX THINGS WE WANTED, SIX THINGS WE BUILT

Six things we wanted, six things we built

Each goal became something the system does every day, for every site.

  1. GOAL 1BUILT

    Direct deals with site owners

    Scout goes to the site’s own contact first, the seller names a price first, and every deal is negotiated inside the quote you approve.

    How Scout negotiates
  2. GOAL 2BUILT

    Room to grow without growing headcount

    Nine specialist AI agent roles do the work, so capacity grows with every site, and a backlink specialist signs off every deal commitment.

    Meet the nine agents
  3. GOAL 3BUILT

    Know-how that keeps building

    The process, the contacts and the logs live in one system, so every improvement reaches every site.

  4. GOAL 4BUILT

    Every step in plain view

    Every step is logged, and you get a daily report for every site, counted from live data.

  5. GOAL 5BUILT

    Work that keeps moving every day

    Once configured, it runs around the clock: schedules come back after a restart and a failed run resumes from the failed stage.

    How the work keeps moving
  6. GOAL 6BUILT

    Every site on its own targets

    One brief per site, each with its own targets, all from one inbox, and one publisher is never pitched for two of your sites at once.

    Link building for multiple websites
OUR SCOPE

What LabsMedia is and isn’t

LabsMedia replaces the link-building team, not your SEO strategy. Knowing where the job stops is part of doing it well.

LabsMedia IS

  • Backlinks from sites that fit your brief: guest posts and link insertions
  • The whole loop: find, qualify, reach out, negotiate, write, verify and report
  • One brief per site, for one site or many
  • Email in, email out: no signup, no dashboard and no monthly fee

LabsMedia ISN’T

  • An SEO agency: no SEO strategy, no content for your own site and no technical SEO
  • A marketplace: you never pick sites from a catalog yourself
  • Outreach software: nobody on your team runs the outreach
  • A promise of rankings: rankings depend on many factors and aren’t guaranteed
TRY IT: IS OR ISN’T?

Pick a chip, then drop it in the box where it belongs.

      See the answers
      • Guest posts and link insertions: IS. Backlinks from sites that fit your brief.
      • SEO strategy: ISN’T. LabsMedia isn’t an SEO agency: no SEO strategy, no content for your own site.
      • A catalog you pick from: ISN’T. LabsMedia isn’t a marketplace: you never pick sites from a catalog yourself.
      • The live check: IS. The whole loop: find, qualify, reach out, negotiate, write, verify and report.
      • Outreach software your team runs: ISN’T. LabsMedia isn’t outreach software: nobody on your team runs the outreach.
      • One brief per site: IS. For one site or many.

      Illustrative example, not real output or real sites.

      HOW WE WORK

      How we work: Scout does the work, people decide

      Done for you, with people behind it. The split between the bot and the backlink specialists is deliberate.

      • Scout does the work

        Scout, our backlink bot, finds sites, checks them on independent SEO data, reaches out, negotiates, gets the content written and checks every backlink on the live page. Once configured, it runs around the clock.

        Meet Scout
      • Specialists decide

        A LabsMedia specialist approves every new brief and signs off every deal commitment. In 20+ situations Scout stops and hands the conversation to a backlink specialist.

        Where a person decides
      • Every step is logged

        Every email, decision and run is recorded. The numbers you see are counted from live data, and a deal counts as closed only when the invoice arrives or the backlink is live.

        How every step is logged
      THE TEAM

      The team behind LabsMedia

      LabsMedia is software, and people built it. These are the three who turned one founder’s vision into the system that runs every day.

      • Rakesh Patel, founder at LabsMedia

        Rakesh Patel

        FOUNDER

        Set the vision: a link-building team that grows as fast as the business, with Scout, our backlink bot, doing the work and backlink specialists deciding where a person should.

        More about Rakesh
      • Amit Patoliya, tech lead at LabsMedia

        Amit Patoliya

        TECH LEAD

        Turned that vision into a working system. Amit led the build of LabsMedia and Scout, our backlink bot, from the first workflow to the system that runs every day.

      • Abhishek Roy, testing and workflow audits at LabsMedia

        Abhishek Roy

        TESTING AND WORKFLOW AUDITS

        Tests, audits and tunes the workflows, so every stage from finding sites to the live check does exactly what the brief asks for.

      THE BUILD

      Four rewrites and zero screens

      1. 4 REWRITES, 0 SCREENSThe system you use today.

      Abhishek serves the surprises, Amit redraws the whiteboard. Play the build back.

      Amit Patoliya is a software architect to the core, and before LabsMedia he had never bought a single backlink. Abhishek Roy is the opposite: a backlink specialist who had done the work by hand for years and had never once wondered how software is put together, or how you turn “it depends” into a requirement. Rakesh put them on one project and asked for something neither had seen before: a link-building team that runs entirely on email.

      No dashboard, no login, no screen to learn. You email support@labsmedia.com, an AI reads it and replies in the same thread, a two-minute form fills in your brief, and a LabsMedia specialist approves it. From then on everything arrives in your inbox: the outreach Scout runs for you, the daily report, the deal that closed, the backlink that went live. Building a system with zero user interface turned out to be the hardest part of the whole project, because email is where every surprise lands.

      And Abhishek kept finding surprises. A seller who owns dozens of sites. A publisher who answers in a brand-new thread. A rate card in euros. A site owner who doesn’t want cash at all. Each time, he walked over with a case Amit had never imagined, and each time Amit went very quiet, stared at the whiteboard and started redrawing the architecture. More than once the new case didn’t fit anywhere, so the codebase started again from nothing. Four times, in fact.

      It made for some loud afternoons. It also made the system you use today: built by an engineer who learned how backlinks really get bought, and tested by a specialist who learned how software really gets built. Every one of those surprises shaped what Scout handles for you now.

      WHAT WE BELIEVE

      What we believe about backlinks

      Four rules we hold ourselves to, on every site and every deal.

      1. Relevant, real and live

        A backlink is only better if it’s from a site your buyers read, with organic search traffic in your market, and live on the page as agreed.

        The LabsMedia Method
      2. One quote a month

        You approve one quote for your monthly target, in US dollars (rupees plus GST in India), and anything outside it we ask first.

        Link building pricing
      3. Invoiced only for live backlinks

        Each backlink is checked on the live page once, before it’s invoiced. A backlink that isn’t live isn’t billed.

        How the live check works
      4. Show the depth, never the recipe

        We’ll show you every stage and every count, but not the playbook. That protects the deals Scout negotiates for you.

        The rules Scout follows
      WHO WE WORK WITH

      Who we work with

      Our strongest fit is tech, SaaS and business sites, run by one of four kinds of team.

      FAQ

      Questions about LabsMedia

      Who is behind LabsMedia?

      LabsMedia is the digital marketing division of Space-O Technologies, the software company Rakesh Patel founded in 2010. That software background is why LabsMedia runs as a system, with Scout, our backlink bot, doing the work, rather than as a traditional agency. Your brief, your quote and your daily reports all come from LabsMedia at support@labsmedia.com.

      More about the founder

      Is LabsMedia an agency or software?

      Both, in the way that matters to you. Scout, our backlink bot, does a link-building team’s whole job as software, and LabsMedia backlink specialists step in where a person should decide. You don’t log into anything: you email your brief, approve one monthly quote and get a daily report.

      Who is Scout?

      Scout is our backlink bot. It finds sites that fit your brief, checks them on independent SEO data, reaches out, negotiates, gets the content written and checks every backlink on the live page. In 20+ situations it stops and hands the conversation to a LabsMedia backlink specialist.

      The LabsMedia Method

      Will outreach come from my domain?

      No. Outreach goes out from LabsMedia inboxes, so your domain never sends a cold email, and your brand isn’t named in the first email to a publisher. For agencies that means outreach never leaves from a client’s domain either. Every email that goes out is logged.

      How does LabsMedia stay accountable?

      Every step is logged and every number is counted from live data. You get a daily report for every site and an email for each closed deal and each live backlink. A deal only counts as closed when the publisher’s invoice arrives or the backlink is live, so the numbers never run ahead of reality.
