Startup link building, on this URL, is Worldwide Backlinks placing contextual links for companies that are still proving the product — not for procurement teams who need a vendor pack. English guest posts from $125 (GR4D2J) through $450 (EN1PXR) stay on the public card. Dual conversion: quote the mix, or Order now on a packaged band when the host class is ordinary English. This page is distinct from enterprise. Enterprise is in-house SEO, exclusions lists, and paper a security team will open. Startups are fewer stakeholders and a domain that may still fail a publisher’s “how long have you been live” sniff test. We will say no rather than park you on a leftover SaaS blog. Typical TAT about two weeks, 20-day maximum, replacement if the live link drops. Wikipedia is still Enquire Now and most startups fail notability — do not order a wiki page as a launch backlink.

What early-stage placement actually means
It means a host that will take a commercial URL from a company that may not have a newsroom or a series-B brand deck. Some editors want traction proof. Some will take a well-written expert post from a founder who actually ships. We ask. We do not invent a “startup DR20 farm.”
It is not a cheaper enterprise SKU. Same public rates. Same DataForSEO QC. Same unique copy. The difference is the brief: fewer legal exclusions, more “we launched last year,” more need to pick DR40+ ($250 QJE1WN) as the first honest band instead of pretending DR70 is the launch package.
Do not collapse this into industries/startups-link-building. That URL is the guide. This URL is the money page. Do not collapse it into SaaS or B2B industry guides either — those verticals still need the right host set on the quote.
Adult, CBD, crypto, and casino startups use the specialised Enquire desks. A seed gambling site is not a $125 lifestyle guest post.
Who should use the startup desk
Founders who will go on the record
You can explain the product in a paragraph an editor would keep. You are not buying a ranking in 90 days.
In-house marketers without a vendor pack
If you need procurement language, use enterprise. If you need a live URL this month, stay here.
Agencies with a seed-stage client
Resell on reseller or white-label on that desk. Do not invent a startup wholesale rate.
How a startup brief runs
01
Destination and proof
The money URL, language, and what a sceptic would believe about traction. No fake customer logos on our report.
02
Host class, not theatre
DR40+ at $250 is the usual first band. DR70 is not a launch costume.
03
Quote or order
Packaged English GP in the portal when it fits. Quote when the vertical is specialised or the domain is too new for the host class you wanted.
04
Place and report
Live URL, DR, traffic estimate, exact anchor. Indexing included. Same as every other English GP.
05
Replace if it drops
The 20-day TAT and replacement rule still apply. We will not skip QC because you are seed-stage.

Startups vs enterprise — do not clone the H1
Enterprise is more stakeholders and more paper. This page is fewer. Same rates. If your “startup” has a security questionnaire and a six-week vendor review, you are already on the enterprise desk.
Digital PR and AI backlinks stay quoted. We still do not sell ChatGPT rankings. HARO is HARO, not a launch hack.
