How We Got Here
Back in 2017, I was running a small e-commerce site selling handmade goods from northern Thailand. My products were solid, but nobody could find them online. So I hired an SEO agency that promised hundreds of backlinks. Three months and a decent chunk of money later, my rankings hadn't budged.
Turns out, those links were junk. Directory submissions, comment spam, the whole mess. But here's what happened next—I reached out to a blogger who actually used artisan products. We had a real conversation. She wrote about my store because she genuinely liked what we made. That single mention brought more traffic than all those agency links combined.
That's when it clicked. Link building isn't about gaming algorithms—it's about connecting with people who care about what you do. So I started doing this for other businesses, and LumonixFlare grew from there. We're based in Chanthaburi now, working with clients across Thailand and beyond. Still doing the same thing: building relationships that lead to visibility.
