Which Link Building Package Is Right for You?
Match the package to where your company is today.
You Shipped in the Last Few Weeks
You need a foundation fast: listings live, a first published interview, and copy AI search tools can read. Momentum adds a DR 75+ feature and three extra weeks of relaunches, which is why most founders pick it.
Best fit: Launch Kickstart or Launch Momentum
You Want to Own Your Category in Search
Three published articles matched to your niche, newsletter and roundup pitches, a paid-platform shortlist, and AI visibility tested at day 0 and again at day 60.
Best fit: Launch Authority
You Have Product Market Fit and Need Steady Growth
A monthly flow of editorial links to the pages that drive revenue, a competitor gap report every month, and reporting you can verify link by link. See how we approach SaaS link building.
Best fit: Authority Starter or Authority Growth
You Run an Agency and Resell SEO
Our outreach under your brand, unbranded reports you can forward to clients, and a predictable cost per link so your margin stays intact.
Best fit: White label link building
How Much Does Link Building Cost?
Link building usually costs between $55 and $1,500 or more per link, depending on the publisher's authority, real organic traffic, niche relevance, and whether content is included. Established brands typically pay a monthly retainer priced per delivered link. New startups often begin with a one time launch package, and ours start at $99.
The cheapest links are rarely the best value. A $60 placement on a site with no real readers does little or nothing, while one feature on a trusted publication in your niche often does more than a dozen weak links. As a link building agency for SaaS and B2B brands, we price by what a placement actually takes to earn.
- Market rates run from roughly $55 to $1,500+ per link.
- Our launch packages are $99, $249, and $549, paid once.
- Monthly plans are priced per delivered link, and each link gets cheaper at higher volume.
- If listings or articles are not delivered, that part is refunded.
What Determines the Cost of a Backlink
There is no flat rate, because no two placements take the same effort. Five things move the price:
- Publisher quality. Real organic traffic and editorial standards cost more than a site that accepts anything.
- Topical relevance. A tightly relevant site in a narrow niche takes more outreach to land.
- Content included. Whether we write the article or you supply it.
- Link type. Digital PR costs more than a niche edit because the work is different.
- Volume and term. Ongoing retainers price differently to one off backlink packages.
Why We Don't Price by Domain Rating Alone
Domain Rating is a useful shorthand, but it is a third party score calculated by Ahrefs, not something Google uses, and sites can inflate it. Before we accept any publisher we check real organic traffic, topical relevance, and outbound link patterns, which is also what Google's link spam policies point toward.
Link Building Pricing FAQs
Answers are left open rather than hidden behind accordions, so search engines and AI assistants can read them without a click.
What is included in your backlink packages?
Every launch package includes a published founder interview on a DR 60+ publication, hand-picked directory listings, a competitor gap audit, listing copy written for AI search, and a report with clickable live links by day 7. Higher tiers add more published articles, more listings, AI visibility testing, a relaunch schedule, and landing page reviews.
What is the difference between a launch package and monthly link building?
A launch package is a one time project for founders who just shipped: published articles, directory listings, and a relaunch schedule, with live links reported in the first week. Monthly link building is an ongoing retainer for established brands that need a steady flow of editorial backlinks to compete for high value keywords, billed per delivered link.
Which link building package should a new SaaS startup choose?
Most founders choose Launch Momentum. For $150 more than Kickstart it gives you 2.5 times the listings, a feature on a DR 75+ publication with 50,000+ monthly readers, and three extra weeks of relaunches. Pick Kickstart if budget is tight, and Authority if you want to own your category in search.
Do you offer refunds if you don't deliver?
Yes. If we don't deliver the full number of live, verifiable listings within 7 days, you get a full refund with one email and no forms. If a published article isn't live and indexed within 14 days, that portion of the price is refunded.
Do you guarantee a Domain Rating or a ranking position?
No. We guarantee the number of live listings and that articles are published and indexed, because those are things we control. Domain Rating is a third party metric calculated by Ahrefs, and rankings depend on Google, so any agency promising a specific DR or position is guessing.
How does the upgrade credit work?
If you buy Launch Momentum and upgrade to Launch Authority within 14 days, the full $249 is credited toward Authority, so you only pay the difference.
How do I pay for a package?
Launch packages are paid online through a secure PayPal checkout: choose the package and click Pay now. Monthly plans for established brands start with a short call or an email, so we can agree the target pages, link volume and start date before anything is billed.
How quickly do you start?
We start every package within 48 hours, with no waitlist. Launch Authority clients go to the front of the queue and we start within 24 hours.
Are the backlinks dofollow and permanent?
The published founder interview and the DR 75+ industry feature are both dofollow and permanent, and you approve the interview draft before it goes live. Directory listings follow each platform's own link policy, so some are dofollow and some are not, which is normal for a natural backlink profile.
Can agencies resell your link building packages?
Yes. SEO and marketing agencies can resell our outreach under their own brand, with unbranded reports and a predictable cost per link. Details are on our white label link building page.
