Founded in Piacenza in 2018. The team that runs your account is the same team that answers your calls, writes your reports, and places your links. No layers.
GoLink SEO was founded in Piacenza in 2018 by Riccardo Fontana after seven years running SEO in-house for a network of Italian manufacturing and B2B businesses in the Po Valley.
The recurring problem was always the same: generalist agencies would deliver impressive-looking reports, monthly activity summaries, and dashboards full of metrics that did not connect clearly to business outcomes. Rankings changed slowly or not at all. The connection between the work done and the results produced was unclear.
GoLink SEO was built around six specific disciplines — all of them things Riccardo had done in-house and knew could be done significantly better with specialist focus. Every service the agency offers was chosen because it reliably moves rankings or revenue when executed correctly. Nothing was added because it looks good in a proposal.
Based in Piacenza, the agency has a particular depth in the Emilia-Romagna market — the industrial and commercial heart of northern Italy. The region's combination of manufacturing, food production, real estate, and professional services businesses has produced a client base that demands measurable results over impressive-looking activity.
Seven years in, the team of five handles digital marketing for clients across Emilia-Romagna, Lombardia, Veneto, and international businesses targeting the Italian market. The credit-based pricing model was introduced in 2022 specifically to give clients the flexibility to run multi-service programmes without being locked into pre-configured packages that do not match their actual needs.
Results that can be measured against the brief — that is the standard every engagement is held to. Not how many impressions were served or how many links were built, but whether the rankings and revenue objectives set at the start of the programme were achieved.
No account managers. The specialist named on your account does the technical work and writes the report.

Piacenza sits at the commercial centre of the Po Valley — the most economically productive area of Italy. Manufacturing, food production, logistics, professional services — the Emilia-Romagna region produces businesses that are often world-class in their sector but invisible online.
GoLink SEO was built to serve those businesses — organisations with genuine expertise and strong reputations that had not yet translated either into digital authority. Our best case studies are Emilian businesses that used SEO intelligently and found it was a more powerful growth lever than any amount of trade fair attendance or print advertising.
