Backlink service that keeps checking your links after delivery
A backlink service should not end on the day a link goes live, so ours runs every month in two parts: new written placements on vetted sites, and weekly monitoring of every link you already have from us.
- No ranking promises. Every paid link uses rel=sponsored.
- Live URL in your report, link checked every week.
- 1 to 40publications a month
- Link checked every7 days
- From24 USDa month, billed yearly
Why backlinks need an ongoing service
Links decay. Publishers redesign their sites, merge old articles, change URLs, add noindex to whole sections or quietly edit outbound links. Studies of link rot show that a meaningful share of links on the web stop working within a few years, and paid placements are no exception. A service that delivers and walks away leaves you with a list that becomes less accurate every month.
We treat each link as something to look after for as long as you are a customer. New placements add fresh mentions on relevant pages, and monitoring keeps the existing ones honest.
Part one is new placements every month
Each plan includes a monthly number of publications: 1 on Starter, 4 on Growth, 15 on Agency and 40 on Scale. You choose placements from a filtered catalog of reviewed publishers, our editors write one original article for each, and the order moves through Ordered, Brief approved, Writing, Editor review, Scheduled, Live and Link verified.
- Placements chosen by topic, language, country, bands and tier
- Articles written for the publishing site's readers, never reused
- One link to your page plus natural source references
- Brief approval on Growth and above
The full order flow is laid out on our link building process page.
Part two is weekly monitoring of every link
Every 7 days we check each link delivered through your account. Each check covers five things, and any change triggers an email alert.
- The page is live and returns a normal response
- Your link is present in the article
- The target URL is unchanged
- The attribute is still rel="sponsored"
- The page is indexable, with no noindex tag and no robots block
Results appear in your workspace next to each placement, with the date of the last check. If a link is lost within 12 months of publication, we replace it with a new placement on another suitable site, and the replacement does not use a publication from your plan. More on what the checks look for is on backlink monitor.
Reports that stay accurate
Your report lists every placement with its live URL, anchor, target, attribute and publish date, together with the current monitoring status. Starter exports to CSV, Growth to CSV and PDF, Agency to white label PDF, and Scale to white label PDF with API access. Because monitoring updates the same report, an export from month six shows the state of every link today, not the state on delivery day.
Where the backlinks come from
Every site in the catalog went through a manual review covering topic focus, real editorial content, indexed pages, domain age and, where a public estimate exists, estimated traffic. We never fill the traffic field with a guess. Each site accepts only a few publications per month, which keeps placements from crowding its pages.
Site names stay hidden until publication to protect publishers from spam and scraping, and the live URL appears in your report the moment the article is published. Standard placements count as one publication, Premium placements as two, available from the Growth plan.
Sponsored backlinks, stated plainly
Every backlink in a paid placement uses rel="sponsored", and the article page shows a short "Partner content" label. Search engines ask for exactly that on paid links, and advertising rules ask for the label. The links are not dofollow, and we would rather tell you that now than have you discover it in an audit.
A paid link without the attribute counts as a link scheme under Google spam policies, which puts the publisher and your domain at risk. Sponsored backlinks still bring referral visits, brand mentions next to relevant content and faster discovery of your pages. We do not promise rankings, traffic or guaranteed indexing.

Backlink service questions
What exactly does the weekly check verify?
That the page is live, your link is present, the target and the rel="sponsored" attribute are unchanged, and the page is indexable with no noindex tag or robots block.
What happens when a check fails?
You get an email alert and the placement shows the failed check in your workspace. If the link is lost within 12 months of publication, we replace it on another suitable site without using a publication.
Can you monitor links I got elsewhere?
Monitoring covers links delivered through your OffSiteSeo account, because those are the placements we can replace and report on.
Are the backlinks dofollow?
No. They use rel="sponsored" because they are paid. That keeps you and the publisher within Google spam policies.
How often do new backlinks arrive?
Every month, according to your plan, from 1 publication on Starter to 40 on Scale. The exact timing depends on brief approval and the publisher's calendar.
Do I keep my links if I cancel?
Published articles stay on the publishers' sites as part of their content. Monitoring and replacement stop when the plan ends.
