Terms for founders using the marketplace
Read this before you pay. It describes what SEO for Founders does, what it leaves to you, and what it cannot promise.
What we sell
We sell single dofollow backlink placements on third-party sites listed in the marketplace. Each placement is an article with one link to the page you name.
Prices are shown in the row and run from $1 up to about $500. There is no subscription.
What we do not promise
No ranking, traffic or revenue result. Search engines decide these things, and a link is only one input among many.
Google's spam policies can treat links meant to manipulate rankings as a problem. You choose the pages, the keywords and the volume, and you carry the risk of those choices.
Content modes
Each order uses one of three modes: automatic from your target URL and keyword, your own instructions, or your own finished article. In every mode the placement carries one link to the page you named.
Choose the mode before you pay. A wrong target URL is the most common mistake, so read the basket twice.
Orders, balance and invoices
You fill a basket. That costs nothing. Then you pay from your balance, which is topped up in the dashboard and not through the API, and invoices and proforma invoices are available for top-ups if you need them for your accounts.
After payment the article is written and published, usually within about 24 hours. Placements are intended to be permanent dofollow, and each one shows a status under ordered links.
Your duties
Point links only at pages you own or have the right to promote. Do not use the marketplace for unlawful, deceptive or harmful sites.
If you supply your own prompt or finished article, you confirm that you may use the text and that it is accurate. Keep your API keys private.
API and agents
You may order through the REST API with a Bearer key, or through an AI agent over MCP. Whatever acts with your key acts as you.
An agent may browse donors and fill the basket. Paying the basket stays a separate step that you approve yourself.
Publishers and changes
Publishers who sell links on their own sites set a price and approve every placement. Payouts to them run weekly.
Terms change. We may update them as the service changes. Questions about an order or an account go through the account page. The privacy notes explain what the service handles.
