AI SEO Backlinks · Social Proof Backlinks
One thread a human believes and an algorithm counts.
The same real discussion that vouches for the brand, this time with a do-follow link woven into it. 100 credits a thread.
- A do-follow link — Written into the thread naturally, not bolted onto the end of a post.
- Real discussion structure — An opening post, then one to five replies. It reads like a conversation because it's written as one.
- Four thread types — Random, Recommendation, Brand comparison, or Experience. You choose the shape.
- The brand stays out of the opening post — The question comes first. The answer — with your client in it — comes in the replies.
- You approve every word — Write it yourself, or generate a draft for half a credit and edit it before it ships.
- Charged on acceptance — Credits leave when the order is accepted, and return automatically if it can't be placed.
Endorsement and a link,
from the same conversation.
Most off-site assets do exactly one job. A link passes authority and convinces nobody. A review convinces somebody and passes nothing.
A thread where a person recommends your client, with the link sitting inside the recommendation, does both at once.
This is Social Mentions with a do-follow link attached. That is the entire difference, and we're not going to invent a second one.

Thirty credits free, no card.
Verify your email and 30 credits land in the account. That's the client's company brief at 5 credits, article drafts at 5 apiece, a hundred keyword-months of research at 0.3 each, and your target terms in the rank tracker.
Founding accounts lock $0.35 a credit on every plan and every top-up — the rate that otherwise needs a $1,750-a-month plan. A few founding spots are left.
No card. Nothing expires on a timer.
How a thread gets built
Same conversation. One link inside it.
The intake is identical to Social Mentions with one addition, and that addition is the reason this costs more.
- 01
Pick the client and name the brand
Every order files under a client record. Give the brand name as it should appear and set the client type — local business, national, or ecommerce — because those three do not get recommended in the same voice.
- 02
Add the target URL
This is the field Social Mentions doesn't have. It's the do-follow link the writer weaves naturally into the thread — inside the recommendation, where a link belongs, rather than pasted underneath it.
- 03
Choose the thread type
Random, Recommendation, Brand comparison, or Experience. Recommendation is somebody asking who to use. Experience is somebody reporting what happened. Pick the arrival route that fits how people actually find this client.
- 04
Write the opening post — without the brand in it
The constraint that makes the whole thing credible: the brand is not mentioned in the opening post. A thread that opens with the answer is an advert. A thread that opens with a question and gets answered is a conversation.
- 05
Add the replies, then read them
One to five per thread, first one required. Generate a draft for half a credit with any extra instructions you want applied — then read every line, because it ships with your client's name on it.
- 06
Status, not a stopwatch
Draft, Submitted, In progress, Completed. No delivery date is quoted, because fulfilment runs through outside networks whose queues we don't control and we won't invent a number to make the wait feel shorter.
- 07
The screenshot lands in the report
Rendered inline in a branded, client-ready report with your logo, filed against the client record, downloadable as a PDF or saved to Drive.
What you end up holding
One asset doing two jobs.
- A screenshot of the thread
- The question, the replies, the recommendation and the link inside it. The product's own reasoning: "The deliverable is a screenshot, not a link. We do that deliberately, to avoid spam footprints and keep the network's domain metrics clean and authoritative."
- A do-follow link, in context
- Woven into the recommendation rather than appended to it. A link inside a sentence somebody wrote on purpose reads differently to a link in a signature, to a reader and to a crawler.
- Social proof a prospect will read
- This is the half most link products can't do at all. Somebody asked, somebody answered, and your client was the answer.
- A branded report per order group
- Your logo, the client's name and site, the threads rendered inline. Client-ready without editing.
- Refunds without a conversation
- Charged on acceptance, returned automatically if the thread can't be placed.

The countable facts
What it costs and what it does.
- Cost
- 100 credits per thread.
- Unit
- One thread. Order 1 to 25 at a time.
- Link
- One do-follow link, written naturally into the thread.
- Deliverable
- A screenshot of the thread, rendered inline in the report.
- Thread types
- Random, Recommendation, Brand comparison, Experience.
- Structure
- One opening post plus 1 to 5 replies. The first reply is required.
- Opening post rule
- The brand is not mentioned in it — that's what stops it reading as an advert.
- Draft generator
- 0.5 credits, plus optional extra instructions. Editable before you order.
- Unlinked version
- Social Mentions, 50 credits. Identical thread, no link.
- Delivery estimate
- None quoted. Status moves Draft → Submitted → In progress → Completed.
100 credits is the live value and it is printed on the Order button that spends it. These are fulfilled through outside networks, so a supplier catalogue change moves the number — which is why the button, not this page, is the price of record.
What it costs to find out
Thirty credits free, no card. No card.
Verify your email and 30 credits land in the account. That's the client's company brief at 5 credits, article drafts at 5 apiece, a hundred keyword-months of research at 0.3 each, and your target terms in the rank tracker.
Verify your email and 30 credits land in the account. Not a trial that takes your card "for verification". No card at all.
And nothing expires on a timer. Credits sit in the account until you spend them.
The honest version: this is 100 credits and the grant is 30, so it won't buy one — the cheapest order in the family is 45. The free credits are for proving the platform works before you spend real money on links. Build the brief from the client's own site, read what it produced, get a ranking baseline down. That's the sequence that stops budget being wasted.
Launch — founding accounts
$0.35 a credit, locked for good.
Credits normally run $0.50 at the smallest amount and slide down to $0.35 only at 5,000 a month — a $1,750-a-month plan.
Founding accounts get that bottom rate on every plan, every top-up and every pay-as-you-go purchase, starting at a $35 top-up. Same rate. One fiftieth of the commitment.
It's written onto your account, not onto a coupon you have to remember, and it applies for as long as you have the account.
A few founding spots are left. When they're gone, so is the rate.
| Credits | Standard | Founding | You keep |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 | $50 | $35 | $15 |
| 500 | $225 | $175 | $50 |
| 1,000 | $400 | $350 | $50 |
| 5,000 | $1,750 | $1,750 | — |
The last row is the point: at 5,000 credits the two prices meet, because $0.35 is the volume rate. Founding accounts get it without the volume.
30 credits on email verification, no card, and the locked rate is applied to the account itself. Every deliverable's cost in credits is printed on the button that spends them.
Before you ask
The questions we'd ask.
- Why is this double the price of Social Mentions?
- Because of the link, and that's the only difference — same thread structure, same four types, same opening-post rule, same approval flow. If a do-follow link isn't worth 50 extra credits on this client, buy the unlinked version and spend the difference on a niche edit. We'd rather you did that than felt sold to.
- Which should I actually buy?
- Take Social Mentions when the client's name returns nothing human and you want an asset with no downside attached — nothing to audit, nothing to disavow. Take this one when you want the endorsement and a link that counts from the same placement. Most accounts running this properly buy some of both, because a profile made entirely of linked mentions has a footprint and a profile with none is leaving authority on the table.
- Is a link in a community thread worth anything?
- In context, inside a recommendation, on a relevant property — yes, that's a normal link and it behaves like one. Buried in a signature or dropped as a one-line reply, no, and that has been true for over a decade. The reason this product writes a full thread with a question and replies is that the surrounding conversation is what makes the link legitimate. Order forty pointing at the same page with the same phrasing and you'll undo that yourself.
- Why a screenshot if there's a real link in it?
- Same reason as the rest of the screenshot-delivery products. Quoting it directly: "We do that deliberately, to avoid spam footprints and keep the network's domain metrics clean and authoritative." Publishing the placements makes the network enumerable, and an enumerable network gets deindexed — at which point every link on it, including yours from last year, stops doing anything. If you need a URL you can open, the link-insert products deliver one.
Endorsement and a link,
from the same conversation.
Thirty credits land when you verify your email. No card.
They won't buy a thread at 100. They will build the client's brief and a ranking baseline, which is what makes the next order measurable instead of hopeful.
Then buy one thread and read it before it ships. That habit is worth more than any link in this catalogue.
