Do you offer a monthly plan?

No — every BacklinkBot package is a one-time payment per project. If you launch a new product later, that's a new, separate package.

Isn't ongoing link building better for SEO?

Ongoing link building overall (content, PR, partnerships) can be valuable — but directory submission specifically is a finite task, not something that needs a monthly retainer.

What if I want more directories later?

You can order another package, or use the free directory database to keep adding submissions yourself at no cost.

Is one-time pricing actually cheaper?

For directory submission specifically, yes — you're not paying repeatedly for the same finite list of targets.

Monthly Backlink Service

A monthly backlink retainer bills you every month, whether or not there's meaningfully new work to do. We built BacklinkBot as a one-time, per-project service instead.

What this actually is

Monthly backlink services typically promise a set number of links per month for a recurring fee, often $300–$2,000+/month. The model can make sense for large sites running an ongoing content and PR program, but for most early-stage products it means paying indefinitely for a directory list that eventually runs out of new, relevant targets — at which point the "monthly" links start getting thinner and lower quality just to hit a quota. Directory submission specifically is a one-time, finite task: there are 1,011+ directories worth considering, not an endless monthly supply.
