Contextual publisher placements

Publisher placements for teams with a defined link-building plan.

Use our managed publisher sites for contextual content placements. Each standard placement includes a purpose-written 500-word article connecting the publisher topic and your target page.

Placement-only service

Choose the site level, placement format and content upgrade.

Direct publisher placements do not include a separate competitor, anchor or opportunity analysis. If your campaign requires that planning work, choose Managed Link Building.

Contextual article placement

Place up to two links to one domain in a contextual article on an internal page.

Home-page placement

Choose a home-page link only, or pair it with an article placement. Home-page links appear within the article preview text.

Five strength levels

Level 1 is the standard option and Level 5 is the strongest. Larger projects may use a mix of levels in an agreed placement plan.

First order

From $750

Direct publisher placements start from a $750 order value. Select the placement level and format that fit your approved campaign plan.
