Link building pricing varies by strategy, quality, and goals. Thinkit Media approaches pricing transparently: we assess your industry, current backlink profile, and content needs before recommending a model. Below are common options and realistic ranges to help you plan.
Common pricing models
- Monthly retainer — Ongoing outreach, content placement, and maintenance for steady growth.
- Per-link or per-placement — Fixed price for each acquired link; best when you need a specific number of links.
- Project-based — One-time campaigns such as product launches or seasonal promotions.
- Performance-based — Fees tied to results like rank improvements or traffic increases.
Typical price ranges (USD)
- Entry-level links: $100–$400 per placement (lower authority, quicker turnaround).
- Mid-tier links: $400–$1,000 per placement (stronger relevance and editorial control).
- High-quality authority links: $1,000+ per placement (hard-to-secure, high-DA sites).
- Monthly retainers: $1,000–$10,000+ depending on volume and strategy complexity.
Factors that affect cost
- Competition and niche difficulty
- Need for original content or assets
- Target site authority and placement type
- Volume and speed of acquisition
