We spoke with a consultant who said they could build links because we are just getting started with SEO. I inquired as to why using them was preferable to contacting webmasters and requesting that they link to our contact information. When his bots are entered, he claims to have better, higher-quality ones that can produce links of a higher caliber. What type of tools are these, and is this real? With Google’s algorithms, I have a feeling that this will land us in hot water.

This does not seem to be real. Why does his bot visit other pages and create links there?
This is a serious red flag. I would suggest avoiding them.
Wishing you luck.

The consultant likely refers to automated link building tools or services that promise to generate backlinks quickly and at scale. These tools can range from software that identifies potential link sources to services that automate outreach to webmasters for link placements. While they may claim to provide higher-quality links, often termed “better” or “higher-caliber,” these practices can violate Google’s guidelines if they involve manipulative tactics like buying links, participating in link schemes, or generating links from low-quality or irrelevant sites. Such practices can result in Google penalties, damaging your website’s SEO performance. It’s advisable to prioritize organic link building strategies such as creating valuable content, engaging with industry influencers, and fostering genuine relationships with webmasters to earn authoritative and relevant backlinks, ensuring long-term SEO success without risking penalties.
