Checklist
Five things to settle before a link goes on the calendar
- Which published page does the link point to, and is that page finished?
- Who owns the quarter's link budget: you, your head of marketing, or finance?
- Which of the three content modes fits the slot: automatic, your prompt, or your own article?
- What date do you want the placement live, with a buffer for review?
- Where will the order status land: your tracker, a sheet, or the weekly stand-up?
Who it is for
How content teams buy editorial links in practice
Most content calendars have no row for links. That is the gap. A page ships on the 14th, the promotion plan says "outreach", and six weeks later nobody can say what happened.
A marketplace changes the rhythm. You filter 50,000+ vetted donor domains by Domain Rating, organic traffic, niche and language, drop the ones you like into a basket, and nothing is charged until you review and pay. The week-by-week timeline shows where each step lands.
Prices run from $1 to about $500 per link, so a quarter can be sized in a meeting. Placements are permanent dofollow. Rankings are still Google's call, and we promise none.
Compare
Where a link job sits next to the jobs you already schedule
| Calendar row | Link task | Lead time to plan |
|---|---|---|
| Pillar page, due the 14th | Two or three placements pointing at it | Order by the 7th for a live date inside a day or so |
| Guest article you wrote yourself | Supply the finished text in own-article mode | Allow your normal edit cycle |
| Refreshed old post | One insertion-style link to the updated URL | Order after the refresh is published |
| Quarter-end report | Pull the orders list and statuses | Export on the last working day |
What it is for
What the in-house editor gets
Each card is a decision you can take to a planning meeting without a demo call.
A filterable donor list
Domain Rating, traffic, referring domains, niche, language and price sit in one row. Compare before you commit.
A basket that charges nothing
Fill it on Monday, let the head of content look on Tuesday, pay Wednesday. See the budget sizing page.
Three ways to brief
Give a target URL and keyword, write your own instructions, or hand over a finished article. A writer brief guide picks one for you.
An orders list with status
Every placement shows in one place, which is what your quarterly content link report is built from.

Who this suits
A good match for a content lead who already owns a calendar
If you publish on a schedule and need links to follow it, this works. If you need a negotiated, relationship-led campaign with named editors, ask an agency instead; we sell placements, not outreach.
- Good: a planned quarter, a fixed budget, pages that are finished
- Poor: a deadline tomorrow and a page still in draft
- Check: what an offer looks like when it is too cheap
FAQ
Questions content managers ask before the first order
What does it mean to buy editorial links, and is it allowed?
It means paying for a placement on a real site, written as an article with a link to your page. Google's spam policies target link schemes meant to manipulate rankings, so keep relevance high, vary anchors, and never treat it as a ranking promise.
How fast does a bought link go live?
Placements usually go live within about 24 hours of payment. That is publication, not ranking. Google may take weeks to recrawl the page, so plan the quarter around the order date, not around a position.
Who writes the article?
You choose. Automatic mode writes it from your target URL and keyword with AI and adds one clean link. You can also send your own prompt, or supply a finished article you wrote or had edited.
What does it cost for a whole quarter?
Links start at $1 and top domains reach about $500, with price following authority, traffic and niche. There is no subscription, so a quarter costs exactly what you put in the basket and pay for.
Do I have to disclose AI-written placements to my team?
Your internal policy decides, not ours. Many teams note the content mode in the tracker so editors and legal know what was written by software. A disclosure page has a template.
Can my manager see the order before I pay?
Yes. Items sit in the basket with no charge, so you can share the list or a screenshot and get sign-off first. Balance top-ups and invoices, including proforma invoices, are in the dashboard.
What if a page isn't ready when the link goes live?
Then wait to order. The link points to your URL, so an unfinished or redirecting page wastes the placement. Finish the page first, check it loads, and only then pay the basket.
