TrustHOW SEO WORKS
Trust is determined by the number of other companies that have an actual link on their site leading back to your site. The reason these links are so important is because the search engines don't just want to see that you have great content. They also need to see that they have valued your content and they view each one of these links like an online vote for your business.
