Be aware that having #1 is fine, but without #2 no one will find it via google.

Be more aware that google says if you manually acquire backlinks you may get kicked out of google or downranked. If you are in a competitive market, your competition will not link to you, and instead will report you to google for doing something. Then they may setup bad backlinks to you.

having to hunt around the web and ask people to take down backlinks is a thing.

Best advice, a stupid viral video that gets shared on fbok, insta, twitter, tiktok etc.. don't count on seo or google they are fickle.
