Guestographics are one strategy to gain backlinks and improve your positioning in the SERPs.
Guestographics are simply guest infographics. They are the result of a collaboration with another brand. Their content will be enhanced by your infographic design.
Why should you create a guestographic?
You can easily build backlinks for certain types of pages, such as surveys, blog posts, or interviews.
But what about pages that require unique or specialized anchor text? Like a landing page?
It gets difficult. Even in this case, offering to design a guestographic can help you get more positive responses.
Why? Everyone loves visuals. They’re easy to skim. In the content-rich online space, visuals are more effective at engaging users.
Original research and visuals are a killer combo in marketing.
