How we work

How we work

The process from first audit to a monitored placement, and the review standard every site has to pass.

The process

  1. Step 1: Audit and strategy

    We review your link profile, competitors and priority pages, then agree targets, countries and a tier mix.

  2. Step 2: Sourcing and vetting

    We gather candidate sites and put each one through the review below. Sites that fail never reach you.

  3. Step 3: Your approval

    You receive a shortlist with measured metrics and our verdict for each site, and approve the ones you want.

  4. Step 4: Outreach

    We contact the editor or owner directly and agree a topic that suits their readers.

  5. Step 5: Writing and publication

    We write the article to the publisher's standards and handle edits until it is published.

  6. Step 6: Verification and monitoring

    We verify the live placement, add it to your report and monitor it daily.

What every site must pass

A site is approved only when a reviewer is satisfied on each point. Pages we cannot load or read are marked as unjudged, never as clean.

  • Topical relevance

    Recent articles match the niche the site claims and the audience you want to reach.

  • Real, local traffic

    Estimated organic traffic meets the tier's floor for your target country and is not propped up by one keyword.

  • Authority in context

    DataForSEO domain rank is read alongside traffic and content, never on its own.

  • Outbound link pattern

    Commercial links are limited, relevant and labelled according to the site's policy.

  • Spam signals

    We look at spam indicators, thin or spun content and sudden changes in the site's profile.

  • Indexation

    The site and its recent posts are indexed and free of blanket noindex rules.

What we reject

Most sites that sell links fail our review. These are the common reasons.

  • Private blog networks

    Sites built only to sell links, with shared ownership footprints and no real readers.

  • Expired-domain redirects

    Old domains repurposed or redirected to borrow authority they did not earn.

  • Off-topic paid posts

    Sites that publish casino, loans and anything else next to their supposed niche.

  • Traffic manipulation

    Traffic that comes from bots, unrelated countries or a single inflated keyword.

Link Health Monitor

Link health monitoring

After publication, each placement moves through four stages and is then checked every day.

  1. Published — Done

    The article is live on the publisher's site.

  2. Verified live — Done

    We confirm the page loads and the link is present.

  3. Indexed — Done

    We check that the page can be indexed by Google.

  4. Monitored daily — In progress

    Live / Indexed / Attribute as agreed — checked every day.

What the daily check covers

  • Page 200: OK
  • Link present: OK
  • Attribute as agreed: OK
  • Indexed: OK
  • Daily check that the page still returns a 200 and the link is present
  • Indexability check, including noindex and canonical changes
  • Link attribute compared against what was agreed with the publisher
  • If a check keeps failing, we contact the publisher and arrange a replacement within the remediation window

When a check fails

  1. We re-check to rule out a temporary outage before raising an alert.
  2. We contact the publisher to restore the page, link or agreed attribute.
  3. If it cannot be restored inside the remediation window, we arrange a replacement on a comparable site.
  4. Your report shows the full history, including the failure and the fix.

Status

Labelling and disclosure

Paid placements are qualified in line with Google's link guidelines, typically with rel="sponsored" or rel="nofollow". The attribute is agreed with the publisher before publication, shown to you in advance and monitored afterwards. We do not promise rankings, traffic or a particular link attribute.
