How it works
Four steps. Same platform. Different vantage point.
- 01
Discover
Browse anonymized listings filtered by niche, DR band, traffic, and price. See the ranking article's topic before you buy.
- 02
Order
Submit your target URL and anchor. Payment is held in escrow until the publisher accepts.
- 03
Placement
The publisher adds your link insertion or brand mention into the article. The domain is revealed to you once the placement is live.
- 04
Verified 6 months
We crawl the URL weekly. If the link drops, you receive a prorated refund automatically.
Live marketplace
A slice of what's on the shelf today.

Coverage
Thirty-plus niches, curated by editorial fit.
AI-assisted matching first filters for hard eligibility (topic, language, region), then scores natural-fit against the article's actual ranking intent.
Trust architecture
Every rule, plainly stated.
The four commitments below aren't marketing copy. They map one-to-one to the platform's terms and are enforced by the monitoring and payments systems.
- 01
Anonymous until purchase
Publisher domains stay hidden in listings. The domain is revealed to the buyer only after payment is captured and the publisher accepts the order.
- 02
Six-month placement guarantee
Every placement is monitored for 180 days. Removals or de-indexing are flagged automatically; the publisher restores or the buyer is refunded on a prorated basis.
- 03
Weekly verification
A dedicated crawler checks each URL every seven days for the full guarantee window. Buyers see live status; publishers get instant notice of any issue.
- 04
Escrowed payments
Funds are held between order and acceptance. Publishers see cleared balances only for placements that went live and passed verification.
Built for AI search, not just Google
The same placements that rank also get you cited by AI.
Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is how brands show up inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Claude. These systems don't invent answers — they pull from a shortlist of trusted, topically relevant sources. Editorial placements on real publisher sites are one of the highest-signal ways to land on that shortlist.
Every match we surface is a genuine editorial context — the exact kind of source large language models retrieve, quote, and recommend when a user asks for a solution in your space.
Enter the AI answer set
ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews cite sources they've seen your brand co-occur with. Editorial placements teach them who to name.
Brand mentions count too
LLMs weight branded entity mentions in editorial content, whether linked or not. Both placement types on the marketplace feed this signal.
Topical authority, model-side
Being referenced across relevant publishers builds the entity association AI engines use to decide who counts as an authority on a topic.
One placement, two channels
The same editorial link earns Google ranking signals and raises the odds of being surfaced by generative answers — no separate spend.
