Los Angeles is a huge, crowded market, and whatever you sell, someone with a bigger budget is chasing the same searches. Link building in Los Angeles is how a business of any size closes that gap: links from articles on trusted sites tell search engines and AI assistants that your website is a source worth citing.
On Prensarank you choose each site with its metrics in view, set the URL and anchor, and we write the article at no extra cost. Half of all orders go live within 24 hours. Instead of a monthly retainer, you pay per publication with no contract, and sign-up is free, so you can browse sites and prices before committing to anything. Below, we cover what it costs and how to choose well in LA.
From picking a site to a live link, writing included. No retainer or contract: you choose, we handle each order.
Los Angeles has a remarkably wide news ecosystem, from a major daily to nonprofit local reporting.
The dailies. The Los Angeles Times is a major daily covering Southern California and the rest of the state, while the Los Angeles Daily News is aimed mainly at readers in the San Fernando Valley.
TV, digital and business news. KTLA, a local TV station, runs its own news website, LAist is a nonprofit newsroom dedicated to local news, and the Los Angeles Business Journal covers the regional economy.
What it means for your links. One big name rarely builds a strong profile on its own. What works is a mix: local and regional sites for geographic relevance, niche sites in your field for topical weight and national titles for reach. In the market, three out of four orders go to niche or specialized sites. On Prensarank you can compare sites that help your website rank in Los Angeles, with every metric visible before you buy.
Many digital PR strategies in Los Angeles start with press releases and pitches to journalists, and whether a story runs with a link is up to the newsroom. A sponsored article gives you certainty: you choose the site, the URL and the anchor, and the dofollow link stays live indefinitely. Combined, the two approaches make your PR work far more predictable.
Combine LA news sites with niche sites in your field and national titles. Each layer sends search engines a different signal.
Blend brand, descriptive and URL anchors, adding "Los Angeles" or your neighborhood now and then. You set every anchor.
Send links to service and product pages, not just the home page: in the market, around 60% of links point there.
Publish regularly and keep an eye on every new link, so you can see which articles actually move your rankings.
LA's institutions don't sell links, but their news and research give you reasons to publish:
| Organization | What it is | How to use it for your links |
|---|---|---|
| Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce | The region's business chamber, founded in 1888 | Taking part in its initiatives gives your article a timely business angle |
| UCLA | Public research university, home of the Daily Bruin (since 1919) | Commenting on its research from your experience adds data and credibility |
| USC | Private research university, home of the Daily Trojan (since 1912) | An internship program or joint project is a story with real news value |
| Campus papers | Historic student newspapers at both universities | They show what students and graduates follow, useful if they are your audience |
If you serve Studio City, Encino or North Hollywood, link building works best with a landing page for each area and an anchor that names it now and then. The same goes for Van Nuys, West LA or Pacific Palisades: the quality of the site always matters more than repeating the neighborhood. You pick the URL and anchor for each article.
The United States sits in the middle of the market's price range: a sponsored article averages €150-200, and more than half of all orders come in under €100.
Up to about 20,000 visits a month. An affordable way to gain relevance in your niche.
Around 75,000 visits a month: the average price of a sponsored article in the market.
Around 200,000 visits a month. The very biggest sites in the market reach €600-700.
Prices depend mainly on the size of the site, you see every site's price before you buy, and prices rise slightly every year, so starting early pays off. With Prensarank you pay only for what you publish, writing included.
For any Los Angeles business, from a single page to a full campaign.
Half of orders go live in 24 hours and most in 48 hours, compared with almost a week on average in the market.
We write each article, optimized for SEO and GEO, at no extra cost. You can review the draft first.
DR, DA, OBL, links and organic traffic for every site, up to date and visible before you buy.
Real publishers only, with no middlemen or resellers. Links are dofollow by default.
A single payment per article and free sign-up. You buy the publication rather than rent it, so it stays live.
