Link building RFP template: an agency-neutral scoring sheet for scope, quality, traffic, compliance, reporting, replacements, and exit terms. Distinct from briefing and proposal-template pages. English GP from $125. Get a Quote or Order from $125. English guest posts from $125 to $450. Dual path: get a quote or order a packaged DR band in the client portal.
What this RFP URL is allowed to score
This URL is the buyer’s procurement task. How to brief a link building agency is the intake packet you send one desk. Proposal template is what an honest vendor proposal should list. How to choose an agency is the vendor checklist. What does a link building agency do is the job description. Five titles: this one is a scoreable RFP you can send to more than one vendor — not another leftover “how we work” clone and not a Worldwide Backlinks proposal dressed as a template.
A usable RFP names: destination class and exclusions; language and geo; quality bar (traffic-checked hosts, not DR alone); compliance rails (iGaming, adult, CBD, crypto, Wikipedia); reporting fields (live URL, DR, traffic, anchor, index); replacement and drop rules; turnaround expectations; and exit terms if the brief is not fulfilled. Get a Quote is a placement read on that packet — not a complimentary strategy call.
When the destination is ordinary English guest-post work and you already know the DR band, Order from $125 is still available. Dual path stays visible.
Who this RFP template is for
Procurement and in-house SEO writing the RFP
You need fields you can score across vendors — not another provider proposal template.
Agencies issuing a vendor RFP for a client destination
Same public card as white-label. Unbranded reports on request. We do not contact your client.
Operators who were handed a leftover “send us your rates” email
Rates without quality, traffic, replacement, and exit terms are not an RFP you can compare.
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.

The scoring fields, in the order a fair RFP actually uses them
1) Scope: destination URLs, language, geo, and whether the page is ordinary English GP or a quoted vertical. 2) Quality: traffic-checked hosts, relevance to the job-to-be-done, and a written refusal rule. 3) Compliance: iGaming from $180; adult, CBD, dating, crypto, and Wikipedia stay Enquire Now. 4) Reporting: live URL plus DR, traffic, and anchor — see sample report. 5) Replacements and TAT: the drop rule and the 20-day maximum on standard DR work. 6) Exit: what happens if the vendor cannot fulfil the locked list — no silent leftover fill.
