Built for SEO professionals,
not agencies

Every SEO professional knows the frustration: you spend more time searching Google for "top forum backlink sites 2024" and maintaining messy spreadsheets than actually building links. The information exists, but it is scattered, outdated, and duplicated across hundreds of blog posts.

SerpCrest started as an internal tool to solve this problem. We built a system that automatically discovers, categorizes, and verifies backlink targets, then made it free for the wider SEO community.

Our goal is simple: give every SEO professional - freelancer, in-house, or agency - a single reliable source for finding link-building targets without the guesswork.

The people who build SerpCrest write the blog. Earlier posts carry the byline Julian Hayes, a pen name the team shared, and newer ones carry SerpCrest Editorial. Both are the same team, and we would rather say that plainly than invent a biography. What makes a post worth trusting is the checking behind it, so here is what every post goes through:

1. Research starts from primary sources. A number we cannot trace back to the study or page it came from stays out.
2. Every stat is linked to its source in the sentence that uses it, not in a list at the bottom.
3. Every external link is opened again right before a post goes live, so a citation never points at a dead page.
4. Quotes from named people are checked against the original interview, post or talk. If we cannot find the original, the quote comes out.
