Not the freelancers' fault for once, Google Ads treats peptides as unapproved pharma and blocks the lot -> organic is basically the only scalable channel this niche has.
Yes. Cloaked ads on rented aged accounts is a burn-rate business: the people doing it profitably treat accounts and domains as consumables and price the bans in. Accounts die in days to weeks, spend gets stranded mid-flight, and if the domain in the rotation is your money domain, the flag follows it around long after the ad account is gone. It works for throwaway funnels. It is the opposite of what you said you are building.
purchasing advertisement on IMO for your content in the field may be a vry frustrating experience in no time. I will focus more on establishing my authority, credibility nd organic visitors in this field since it is a lifelong process.
If you're completely new to SEO, I'd avoid jumping straight into Fiverr/Upwork link packages. Especially for a competitive niche, it's easy to spend money on links without knowing whether they're actually helping.
Im using Keyword -Canada-Product Name. Lol
Is publishing on authority sites and getting a link back to my main site typically a paid service? I'm trying to understand how an authority/established site would be willing to publish content in a grey niche like peptides in the first place. Is it a paid placement, using an existing relationship, or going through some kind of guest posting service?
Paid Post bro
Skip Trustpilot at this stage. Nobody outranks you with a badge, and peptide buyers want purity paperwork more than stars -> published COAs plus on-page product reviews convert harder and cost nothing but process. @MajestySEO's point is the same one from the SEO side, the sourcing pages double as your most linkable content.
Paid almost every time in this niche, growyourbrand is right. The split that matters is who owns the site: direct to the owner (cheapest, you do the vetting), guest post services (same inventory, added markup), or networks that own their sites, where grey acceptance is policy rather than a favour. The favour kind is the trap -> a site that does not openly take peptides but takes the cash will quietly delete you at the first cleanup. Whoever you buy from: page indexed, link stays live, niche accepted openly, or walk.
