Questions, answered honestly

Open-book means you pay the publisher at cost, plus one flat placement fee. We earn on that fee and your monthly platform fee, not on a hidden markup buried in the link price. Agencies usually fold their margin into a single number you cannot inspect, so the same placement costs more without you ever seeing why.

Open-book means we pass on the purchase price we get for each link, with no markup and no negotiation, plus one flat fee. Your portal shows the purchase price, the flat fee, and the all-in amount on every placement, and you settle against that real amount. If the final price comes in under the reserved estimate, the difference flows back to your wallet.

Yes. The platform fee is month to month, with no lock-in. You can pause or cancel from your portal, and prepaid wallet credit is refundable on request. Links already placed stay live and monitored under your account.

Because the work happens before any link is bought. The membership pays for the premium search and backlink intelligence subscriptions we vet with, a per-client API budget, scheduled monitoring, competitor intelligence, reporting, AI search visibility, and the relevance engine that reads your own sitemap, Search Console and Analytics. We also take on a limited number of clients each month, so every campaign is hand-sourced for your exact pages. The links themselves are billed separately at the publisher price plus one flat placement fee.

Both, and it is your choice. By default you approve every recommendation: you see the page-level match, the target page, the anchor and the expected all-in price, and nothing leaves your wallet until you say yes. Or you switch on autopilot, which is opt-in: you set a monthly budget, a maximum number of links per month and a maximum all-in price per link. Autopilot only ever queues recommendations we already rated a top pick, emails you the full list of what it intends to buy, and waits out a veto window in which you can cancel any line. Anything that goes through runs the same checks as a manual approval.

Every candidate passes a metric-driven Quality Score and then a human verdict before you ever see it. We apply banned-niche filters, geo and real-traffic checks, and flag likely PBN patterns. Sites that fail are rejected, and our rejection rate is public on the home page.

We cap exact-match anchors and keep the mix natural, weighted toward branded and topical anchors. You approve the anchors on every recommendation before anything is placed, so nothing goes live that you have not seen.

We place editorially, on vetted sites, with a natural anchor mix, and we monitor every link. That is how we lower the risk. We are honest that paid links always carry some policy risk, which is why we never promise outcomes and ask every client to accept a plain-language risk statement first.

It depends on the publisher and the content, so we show an expected window on each recommendation rather than a blanket promise. You approve, we reserve the estimate from your wallet, we place, and you see the live URL and the price in your portal.

Your portal shows every live URL, the target page, the anchor used, the price you paid, and the current monitoring status. The ledger balances to the cent, so you can always tell where your money went.

Yes. Agencies get a dedicated workspace, client sub-accounts, a shared wallet, and your branding on the portal your clients log into. The open-book model still applies underneath, so your margin is your service fee, set by you and visible to no one but you.

No. Search engines decide rankings, and anyone who promises a position is guessing. What we commit to is the deliverable we control: the editorial placement on a vetted site, and ongoing monitoring of that link. We never promise rankings, traffic, or a specific outcome.

We will be straight with you: paid links carry policy risk, and no vendor can remove that. We reduce it by placing editorially on vetted sites, capping anchors, keeping the mix natural, and monitoring every link. What you buy from us is the placement and the monitoring, never a promise about how search engines will react.

We check every link on a fixed schedule, at least weekly. If a placement breaks, we run an escalating recovery sequence with the publisher. If it dies within 6 months and recovery fails, we source and place a replacement at no extra placement fee. Publishers who repeatedly drop links are blacklisted across the network.
