<a href="https://www.thebrightbuildmedia.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener" style="display:inline-flex;align-items:center;gap:6px;font-family:system-ui,sans-serif;font-size:13px;font-weight:600;color:#1a1523;text-decoration:none;padding:6px 12px;border:1px solid #e6e1de;border-radius:9999px;background:#fff;">

Vary the wording across clients

Using the exact same link text on hundreds of sites can look manipulative to Google. Mix these versions across different clients so the links stay natural.

Just paste this snippet into your footer:

Thanks so much,
