Monthly Link Building Plans Built for Agencies Running Multiple Clients
Per-order buying works fine when you're placing links occasionally. When you're running link building as a core service line across 5, 10, or 20 client websites simultaneously, ordering piecemeal from a general price list creates unnecessary overhead and leaves margin on the table.
Our agency plans are monthly commitments at fixed volume tiers. You get a locked discount rate, guaranteed delivery SLAs, a single invoice for your entire month's activity, and a dedicated contact who knows your client portfolio. No per-order negotiations. No chasing reports across a dozen separate order confirmations.
Discounts range from 10% off at 50 links per month to 30% off at 250 links per month. Custom rates are available above 500 links.
Delivery SLAs
Links placed within SLA window from brief submission. Briefs by Tuesday enter production that week.
Every placed link confirmed indexed or flagged for replacement within 14 days.
Any link failing within 12 months replaced within 14 business days. Priority for agency clients.
Monthly placement reports by 5th business day. Per-client reports in your preferred format.
What's Included on Every Agency Plan
One contact across all client campaigns. No ticket system.
Monthly reports in your agency's branding with no supplier mention.
Dashboard showing live link status across all clients. Export CSV for your workflows.
One invoice broken down by client and link type. Wire transfer, card, crypto accepted.
Signed before any campaign details shared. Client domains stay within direct team.
Agency clients get premium tier inventory (DR 40–60) not always available on standard orders.
Managing Multiple Client Campaigns on One Plan
The practical challenge with multi-client link building is brief management. Getting 10 clients' anchor preferences, target URLs, niche notes, and timing requirements into a workable production schedule without things falling through the gaps takes a system. Here's how we structure it for agency clients:
Your account manager sends a brief template at the start of each cycle. Fill it out per client covering target URLs, anchor text, niche, link type allocation, and any notes. Return it by the agreed date and we start production.
Some months a client needs more links for a new campaign push. Others need fewer. Allocate from your monthly total as needed. Unused allocation doesn't roll over, but doesn't penalize next month.
After the first month, your clients' campaign notes are stored and carried forward. You don't re-brief from scratch every month. Just flag changes, leave everything else as is.
For ongoing campaigns, we track cumulative anchor profiles across all placed links and adjust monthly allocation to maintain healthy distribution. If approaching 15% exact match, we flag it before the brief goes out.
Link Velocity Across a Multi-Client Portfolio
One thing that doesn't get discussed enough in agency-level link building is velocity management at the portfolio level. When you're placing 100 or 250 links per month across multiple clients, the way those links are scheduled matters as much as which links go where.
The common approach is to batch all production for a given client into one delivery. At 10 clients, batch delivery creates spikes: 25 links in a single week, then nothing for three weeks. That velocity pattern is visible in Ahrefs and Majestic and can look unnatural.
Our default: Spread delivery across the month. A 100-link Scale plan across 10 clients delivers roughly 2–3 links per client per week rather than 10 links in one batch. That mirrors organic link accumulation patterns more closely.
Calculating the Margin on an Agency Plan
At the Scale plan (100 links/month, 20% discount), your cost for Standard PBN links is $4 per link, or $400/month for the full allocation.
How agencies typically bill this out:
Bill clients per link at your agency's rate. Most agencies charge $12–$25 per PBN link. At $15/link, 100 links generates $1,500 in client revenue against $400 wholesale. That's a $1,100 monthly margin.
Bundle link building into a broader SEO retainer at $2,500–$5,000/month per client. The link cost disappears into the retainer. Clients see results, not per-link breakdown. Better retention.
Create three client-facing tiers (Starter, Growth, Authority) at $400, $800, $1,500/month with 10, 25, 50 links. Margin per client runs from $360 to $1,300/month.
Most agencies running 10+ SEO clients find Option 2 or Option 3 produces stronger retention and better margin than per-link billing.
When to Upgrade Between Plan Tiers
Upgrade when combined monthly client demand consistently exceeds 45 links for two consecutive months. Don't lock into the higher tier on a one-month spike.
Upgrade when running 8+ active link building clients simultaneously. The 30% Pro discount vs 20% Scale saves $400/month on a $4,000 wholesale spend.
For agencies with 15+ active link campaigns. At that volume, economics justify custom negotiation on rates, SLAs, and service mix rather than fitting into a standard tier.
Upgrades take effect at the start of the next monthly cycle. Downgrades require 30 days notice and take effect the following cycle.
How Agency Plans Work Alongside the White Label Program
Govern volume, pricing, and SLAs
Governs branding and client protection
Wholesale pricing + branded deliverables
You can be on an agency plan without white label (buying for your own properties). You can be on white label without an agency plan (irregular volume, per-order pricing). Most agencies with 5+ active clients end up on both.
