What do you actually get when you buy a link building package?
One agency offers 10 links a month. Another offers 50. Prices vary just as much. And it’s often hard to tell what those numbers mean.
We’ll make it simple. In this article, we’ll walk you through our three link building packages. You’ll see how many links each one includes.
You’ll see which link types and DR levels you get, plus the reports and support that come with them. And you’ll see what each plan costs. By the end, you’ll know which one fits your site today.
What Are Link Building Packages?
Link building packages are monthly plans where an agency builds a set number of backlinks for you at a set price.
You don’t pay for links one at a time and hope they land. Instead, you know upfront how many links you’ll get each month and what kind of sites they’ll come from.
A good package tells you more than the link count. It should say which link types are included and how strong the sites are, which is usually measured by Domain Rating (DR).
It should also explain how you’ll track results and what happens if a link gets removed. Those details are what let you compare one agency’s offer with another’s.

How Do SayNine’s Link Building Packages Work?
SayNine helps SaaS and digital service companies grow in both Google and AI search. Since 2021, we’ve built 60K+ links for 400+ companies.
We get those links through 4K+ publishing partners and our own manual and automated outreach.
Our packages are productized, with pay-per-link pricing. You pick a plan, and our link building team delivers a set number of links throughout the month. We check every placement for DR and traffic, and we also make sure it fits the content around it.
Our packages are built from our three core link building services. Starter includes link insertions and listicles, and Growth and Premium add brand mentions:
- Link insertions: We place your backlink inside an existing article, in a spot where it fits the context. You give us the target, or we suggest one.
- Listicles and comparison articles: New “Best,” “Top” or “vs” articles that feature your brand, published on niche-relevant sites. Our writers suggest titles, and you approve them, review the drafts, and ask for edits before they go live.
- Brand mentions (Growth and Premium): We get your brand named in an existing article, with a link to your homepage or product page and your brand name as the anchor text.
Each type does a different job. Link insertions can help move rankings, brand mentions help build trust, and listicles can help AI tools recommend you. In Growth and Premium, all three work together on your Google rankings and AI visibility.
Each link type has its own price:
- DR50+ link insertion: $250
- DR70+ link insertion: $600
- DR50+ listicle: $350
- DR70+ listicle: $800
- DR50+ brand mention: $300
Prices are in USD, and all packages are billed monthly with prepayment. Monthly plans don’t need a contract. A 12-month term saves up to 18%, and volume discounts apply to 12-month terms only. You can cancel a yearly contract with 2 months’ notice and no cancellation fee.
What’s Included in Every Package?
Whichever plan you choose, you get:
- Backlinks from real, niche-relevant DR 50+ sites with 1,000+ monthly traffic
- Unique, permanent, dofollow editorial links, one link per domain
- Natural anchor text and human-written content
- Target page planning and anchor text strategy
- Access to our client platform dashboard
- A monthly SEO report
- A 12-month free link replacement
- A dedicated client success manager
- Simple invoicing
- Communication on your preferred channel: email, Slack, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, or Telegram
Growth and Premium add more on top:
- DR70+ link insertions and listicles
- DR50+ brand mentions
- A competitor backlink gap analysis
- AI visibility tracking and reporting
- A consultation with our CEO
- Regular SEO audits, quarterly on Growth and monthly on Premium
Premium also includes:
- Geo-specific performance reporting
- Hands-on SEO support from our in-house team when your team can’t fix the issues an audit finds
So the higher the plan, the more support you get on top of the links themselves.

We don’t overpromise or give unrealistic guarantees. Instead, we give realistic estimates, since results depend on your site, your content, a steady flow of links, and how strong the competition is.
