Pricing questions
A live link on a domain you pre-approved, on a site that cleared our verified organic-traffic bar. You see the full URL the day it goes live, and it stays on daily monitoring from then on. Guest posts, listicle inserts and link insertions all count the same way: live, visible, on a page a real reader can find.
Editorial links are billed per link at the published rate for that site's traffic band. Mention conversion is success-billed: $225 only when a mention becomes a live link, never before. The Citable Authority retainer bills monthly at $3,950, with a 90-day opt-out and no lock-in.
Because the links are the floor of the stack, not the whole of it. Six links at the volume rate ($460 per link at 6+ a quarter) run $2,760 on their own. The retainer adds the monthly mention sweep: a typical sweep converts 8 to 15 mentions, which is $1,800 to $3,375 of work at the $225 success-billed rate. On top of that sit the quarterly AI-citation report against your baseline and a strategy call with the founder. Bought piece by piece, the links plus a typical sweep alone total $4,560 to $6,135. The retainer is $3,950.
It happens: editors decline, sites change direction. We go back to prospecting and bring you fresh domains to approve. You're never charged for a placement that didn't happen, and pre-approval means you're never surprised by where a link lands.
