About
The Canny Vulture opened in 2026. The work on the previous page did not start then.
Justin runs The Canny Vulture. He builds the research, writes the pitches and sends them himself, and the 103 verified placements on the work page are his.
He moved the practice to earned placements only after watching a batch of bought links fail a client's audit. Everything on this site came out of that, which is why the positions read as restrictions rather than promises.
We would rather tell you the shop is new than pad this page with logos we have no right to and case studies nobody can check.
What being new buys you is a short client list and direct access. You deal with the person writing the research and sending the pitches, not an account manager relaying it, and that stays true for exactly as long as the list stays short.
Client work goes on this site as it runs, named, with permission, and never before.
That we can guarantee a .gov or .edu placement. That a number of links per month is contractually promisable. That a traffic estimate from a third-party tool is what a placement is worth.
Every one of those is said daily in this industry, and every one of them is how clients end up holding a report that falls apart the first time somebody checks it.
