About us

Boutique by design, expert by experience

A strategic partner for brands that need compliant, high-quality link building and media placements in complex markets — not a mass-production link farm.

Our story

Built to fill a gap in regulated markets

Peaklift Digital was founded in Amsterdam in 2019 by Lars de Vries, after years of working on the operator side of the iGaming industry. Lars saw that most link building agencies didn't understand the complexities of regulated industries — the compliance requirements, the niche audiences, the need for genuine authority rather than volume.

Peaklift Digital was built to fill that gap. We're a boutique agency that combines deep industry knowledge with proven link building and digital PR expertise. Our clients include KSA-licensed operators, MGA-regulated brands, fintech companies, and iGaming affiliates across Europe.

We believe in quality over quantity. Every link we build is manually vetted, contextually relevant, and placed on real websites with real audiences. No PBNs, no link farms, no shortcuts.
