I’m new to the HubSpot Community, but I have been working in the SEO field for the past four years. I joined this community to deepen my knowledge of advanced SEO strategies, particularly in acquiring high-quality backlinks from high-authority websites (DR 80+). Any guidance or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the Community [@umar\_rashid](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1071529)! +1 for the resources [@SamTassey](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/388334) shared. With four years in SEO, you’re already ahead of the curve. I agree focusing on DR 80+ backlinks is smart for authority building. I think you’ll find good connections and knowledge here in the Community. I’ll also share a quick HubSpot hit from my experience. You can put HubSpot’s blogging tools and workflows to work to produce link-worthy content, track outreach in deals/contacts, and analyze backlink performance via reports. Monitor competitors’ backlinks with integrated SEO tools for opportunities. Best of luck!
