What drives the cost of a link
- 01
The site's real audience
Traffic from real readers is the hardest thing to fake and the biggest driver of price. Every tier has a traffic floor.
- 02
Authority
DR and similar scores are third-party estimates, not Google's. We use them as a floor alongside traffic, never alone.
- 03
The work to earn it
Finding the right page, pitching the editor one to one and writing an article their readers want all take time.
- 04
Proof it's there
Each link ends as a receipt, and we check it again after it goes live. A link that drops in the first 6 months is replaced free.
Fair questions
- How much does link building cost?
- With us, a link costs 1 to 4 credits depending on the site's tier, and plans start at $1,125 a month for 5 credits. That's $225 a credit on Starter and $200 a credit on Growth. Agencies pay $150 a credit, or $135 from 25 credits.
- Why does one link cost more than another?
- A site with a bigger real audience is harder to get onto and charges more. We price by tier, using a DR floor and a traffic floor together, because DR alone is easy to fake. Both numbers are on the receipt.
- When do I pay for a link?
- Plans are billed monthly in advance as credits. A link uses its credits only when its receipt shows it live, indexed and dofollow. Unused credits roll over one month, then lapse.
- Can I buy a single link?
- No. Plans start at 5 links a month. One link rarely moves anything, and a plan lets us choose the right sites for the pages you want to push.
- Is this the final price?
- It's the plan price for the links you picked. You still approve every site and its credit cost before we pitch it, and some top sites are quoted separately rather than taken out of your credits.
