Does HARO Still Work for Building Quality Backlinks in 2026?

abitcapmarketing · Nov 11, 2025

For those of you using HARO (Help a Reporter Out), do you still find it a reliable source for getting backlinks in 2026? I’ve seen a lot of competitors leveraging it, but with so many people involved, it’s hard to gauge the real value anymore. How are you approaching HARO for link building next year?

I think it still works , yes.

Yes, it's still reliable for backlinks if you approach it with a new strategy.

Yeah HARO still works but it is definitely more competitive now. The key is being selective and responding fast with concise, expert answers instead of generic pitches. I have seen the best results by focusing only on high authority publications and skipping low quality ones.

Yes, HARO still works in 2026, but it’s more competitive now. The key is to respond quickly to relevant queries with high quality answers. It works best as part of a broader link building strategy rather than your only method.

Still using HARO, but it feels more crowded now. I focus on quick responses and really unique angles to stand out. Works best if your pitch is super relevant to the journalist
