01 / A considered process

The right link starts
with a closer look.

A metric is a starting point. We check the site, read the page and find the fit. You get a clear recommendation, with the reasoning and the price beside it.

01 / Select

We do the digging.

Real traffic. A relevant topic. A page worth being on. We check each candidate before it reaches your shortlist.

02 / Decide

You make the call.

Review the exact page, target URL, anchor and expected cost. Approve the links you want. Decline the rest.

03 / Follow through

We stay with the link.

We place it, verify it and keep checking it. Your portal holds the live URL, the final price and the monitoring history.

Each candidate arrives with its page and the full price: the publisher's price plus our fee. Nothing is reserved until you approve.

02 / The work behind it

A good number
isn't the whole story.

Every placement goes through data checks and human judgement. We look at what's behind the metrics, and whether the page makes sense for your business.

Inside our vetting process
  • A real site, with a real audience

    Traffic, keywords and the site's history are checked together.

  • A page that belongs in the conversation

    We match the linking page to your target page and your brief.

  • No hidden network behind the numbers

    Infrastructure and content checks help flag link farms and spun pages.

  • Evidence you can come back to

    Your price, approval, placement and monitoring history stay in your portal.

WHY WE BUILT LINKPRENEUR

Buying links for the companies we work for taught us that the headline metric rarely tells you what you are paying for. So we built the service we wanted as buyers: a person vets every site, you see the page, the anchor and the publisher's real price before anything is spent, and every link is checked weekly afterwards. No markup on the link, a fixed fee per link, and a ledger you can check line by line.

Client cases

We buy our clients' links
the same way.

We buy the links for three of our clients through the platform, at the publisher's price plus the placement fee. Their numbers are on the site. We keep their names private, so the sites in our network stay private too.

A few useful answers

Before you
get started.

All questions & answers
What is a link building service?

A service that gets other websites to link to yours. Ours finds published articles on vetted sites where your link fits, shows you the publisher's price at cost and adds a fixed fee per link: $39 as a member ($149/month), or $79 with no membership. You approve every page, and we check every link at least weekly once it is live.

How much does link building cost?

With us: each link at the publisher's price, passed on at cost, plus our fee of $39 per link as a member ($149/month for one site), or $79 per link with no membership. In our price index, counted on 31 October 2026, publishers ask a median of $118 for a link, across 262 sites. Our 32 settled placements averaged $118.44 at the publisher's price. All settled so far for one buyer, so read these as a first sample, not a market price.

Do I need a membership?

No. Pay per link with no monthly fee, and we source when you order links. The membership is for steady link building: we source every month and the fee per link is lower, so it costs less from 4 links a month.

Do I approve every link?

Yes, by default. Autopilot is optional, with your own budget and price caps and a 48-hour window to cancel a proposed purchase.

What if a link disappears?

We check every link at least weekly, and every day for members, and try to recover a broken placement. If recovery fails, we source a replacement without a new placement fee: within twelve months of the link going live, or for as long as you are a member.

What do I get for each link?

A link in the text of a vetted, indexable page you approved, checked at least weekly, with twelve months of replacement cover. Members get a daily check and cover for as long as they stay members.

Given that my site is about B2B software, relevance and traffic page niche links are really important to me.
