Link building for startups

New sites need links to get found, but startup budgets are tight. Start small with links on real sites, see what works, and grow from there.

Start small, then grow

  • Month 1: 3 to 5 brand and homepage links to build basic trust.
  • Month 2 and on: links to your main product or feature pages and to your best blog posts.
  • Later: more links each month to the pages that already rank on page 2.

Guest posts on real sites start from $10, and you see the price of every site before you order.

Sites that fit startups

Tech, SaaS, business, startup and finance sites, filtered by country and traffic. For software startups, see SaaS guest posts.

How it works

  1. 1

    Tell me your product and target pages

  2. 2

    Get a small plan

    that fits your budget.

  3. 3

    See live links

    in your account, with a report for your team or investors.

If a link never goes live, you get a full refund. If a link is removed within 12 months, I replace it free.

Monthly plan

You can turn any set of sites into a monthly plan: each month an order is created and you get a payment link. Pause or cancel at any time.

Where startup links come from

  • Guest posts on tech, business and niche sites, with your product mentioned where it helps the reader.
  • Niche edits: a link added to an existing article that already has traffic.
  • Brand mentions on sites your customers read.
  • Your own content: a useful guide or free tool that other sites want to link to.

What to measure

Track three things each month: the number of pages that get impressions in Search Console, the position of your main product page, and sign-ups from organic search. If impressions grow but positions do not, the next links should go to the pages sitting on page 2.

Questions

How many links does a new startup site need?

Start with a few brand links, then add links to your key pages each month. Steady growth looks natural.

Is there a long contract?

No. You order site by site or use a monthly plan you can pause or cancel.
