Anyone looking for an agency or a studio already has an idea and a budget in mind. They want to know whether you do exactly that, on which stack, and roughly what it costs — before they fill in a form.
A portfolio without context convinces nobody. What lands is the case: the situation, what you changed, what happened next. Three paragraphs per project beat twenty logos in a row.
What clients have been burned by is the handover: who owns the code, what happens the week after launch, who answers when something breaks at six. Answering that on the page wins the projects other studios lose at contract stage.
Say how you charge: fixed price, monthly retainer, day rate. Nobody expects a figure without a brief, but a client who cannot tell how the bill will be shaped keeps looking until somebody explains it.
Show provenance, not volume. Naming the kinds of site, the sectors and the criteria applied is what a cautious buyer needs, and hiding behind a private network confirms every fear they arrived with.
Explain the two approaches separately. Earned coverage takes longer and costs more per placement; arranged placements are faster and carry different risk, and a client deserves to choose knowingly.
Talk about survival. What happens when a link is removed, whether it is replaced and how many remain live after twelve months is the measure that distinguishes a serious supplier.
Refuse things visibly. Saying which practices are not used, and why, is more persuasive than any promise, because the buyer's fear is a penalty rather than a poor result.
Show what a report contains. Which links, on what date, to which page, with the position movement beside them, and whether the client keeps access once the contract ends is what separates a service from an invoice.
Explain how you charge. Per link, a monthly retainer or banded by authority, and why the cheapest placements are the ones that cost most to clean up later, lets a buyer compare you with the quote already on their desk.
Most buyers have been burned already. They paid for links, watched nothing happen or worse, and what they need now is to see exactly where a link will come from before agreeing to anything.
Two very different things are sold under this name: coverage earned by giving a publication something worth writing about, and placements arranged commercially. An honest agency states which one it does.
Written for somebody who has been burned: provenance shown, earned coverage and arranged placements separated, survival after a year reported, and refused practices named.
The number that should be quoted is the uncomfortable one: how many of last year's links are still live.
