What this cost question is allowed to answer
This URL is the full-sentence cost question. How much do backlinks cost is the backlink phrasing. Link building cost is the noun doorway. Guest-post pricing and niche-edit pricing stay the SKU cards. Four titles, one public rate card.
English guest posts stay on the published DR bands when the destination is ordinary. Niche edits start at $99 and stay quote-only — about 20% under the matching guest-post row. Casino and sportsbook URLs use the iGaming table from $180. Adult, CBD, dating, crypto, and Wikipedia stay Enquire Now because editors have to accept the URL in writing.
We will not print a “typical agency retainer,” a blended cost-per-link, or a ranking package. Dual path stays visible on ordinary English guest posts: Get a Quote for a mix, or Order from $125 when you already know the band.
Who this cost guide is for
In-house SEO comparing published bands
You want the live English guest-post card by service type — not a blended “average cost of a backlink.”

Same public USD card as white-label. Unbranded reports on request. We do not contact your client.
Operators on a quoted rail
iGaming starts at $180. Adult, CBD, dating, crypto, and Wikipedia stay Enquire Now. Those are not hidden inside $125.
How this brief actually runs
01
Lock the destination and the constraint
URL, language, geo, and whether the page is ordinary English GP or a quoted vertical. We will not mix leftovers across geos.
02
Shortlist hosts, then QC
Audience and archive first, then DataForSEO spam and toxic-domain checks. Marketplace sheets get rejected here.
03
Pitch a person, write for that host
A human contacts the editor. The draft matches the publication — not a templated 10-tips blast.
04
Live URL, index report, replace if it drops
You get DR, traffic, and anchor. Typical TAT about two weeks, 20-day maximum on standard DR work.

What this page will not invent
