Local SEO · Local PBN Links
Point the links at the map listing, not the homepage that already ranks.
Almost every local link product aims at a website. Map-pack position isn't decided by the website. These are aimed at the Google Business Profile itself.
- Aimed at the Business Profile — The CID URL is a required field, not an afterthought. That's the target.
- High-metric, niche-relevant properties — Placements chosen for the metrics and the subject match, not for the volume.
- Charged per link — One to a hundred per order. You decide the volume, not a package.
- The deliverable is a screenshot — Deliberately. Read the reasoning below before you decide that's a downside.
- Optional article from the company brief — Written from the client's own website, so nothing gets invented on their behalf.
- Filed against the client — Reports under Local SEO, with your logo, a PDF and a Drive export.
Links aimed at the profile,
not the homepage.
Your client ranks fine organically and still isn't in the three-pack. So you buy links, and they land on the homepage, and the three-pack doesn't move.
It was never going to. The homepage and the Business Profile are two different ranking surfaces, and only one of them is what the map results are built on.
This product points at the other one.

Verify your email and 30 credits land, no card. Twenty of them run a map-grid scan across the client's service area — the heatmap that shows which blocks the Business Profile owns and which it's absent from. Five more build the company brief from their own site.
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 an order runs
The target field is the whole argument.
Most of this looks like any link order. One field makes it a different product, and it's the one nobody else asks for.
- 01
Pick a local client
This product is local-only, because the thing it points at only exists for local businesses. Every order is filed against the client so the report lives somewhere permanent.
- 02
Give it the Business Profile CID URL
Required. That's the target the links are aimed at — the Profile, not the site. If you've never had a link product ask you for this, that's the point being made.
- 03
Set the keyword and anchor per link
One keyword-and-target pair per placement, in a repeater sized to the quantity you ordered. Keywords can be imported from Campaign Builder, the rank tracker or Search Console rather than retyped.
- 04
Optionally, have the article written
The article inside the placement can be AI-written from the client's company brief — the long-form profile built by crawling their own website, with a topics-to-avoid list. It's source-only by design: it will not invent a service, an award, a licence or a coverage area the site doesn't claim.
- 05
Placements get built on niche-relevant properties
High-metric and subject-matched rather than whatever had a slot. Credits are charged when the order is accepted and refunded automatically if it can't be placed.
- 06
Screenshots come back in a branded report
Rendered inline in the report with your logo on it, downloadable as a PDF, savable to Google Drive, and kept against the client record. Screenshots, not URLs — for the reason in the next section.
What you end up holding
Screenshots. On purpose. Here's why.
This is the part every competitor page glosses over, so we'll put the product's own words on the page instead.
- A screenshot per placement
- In the product's own words: "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 network whose placements can be publicly enumerated is a network that gets deindexed — and then everybody's links stop working, including the ones you bought last year.
- A branded report with the images inline
- Your logo, the keyword and target context per unit, the placements rendered in the page, a PDF download and a Google Drive export.
- A status you can read
- Submitted, in progress, completed — or failed and cancelled, in which case the credits come back. Delivery lands in the report; nothing depends on you watching an inbox.
- An honest note about indexing
- Screenshot products show indexing as unavailable, with the reason stated: they contain screenshots, which will not be indexed. We could have hidden that behind a greyed-out button. We label it instead.
- A permanent record against the client
- Filed under Local SEO reports, so a year later you can still show what shipped and when.

The countable part
What it costs and what it does.
- Cost
- 100 credits per link.
- Quantity
- 1 to 100 links per order.
- Target
- The client's Google Business Profile, supplied as a CID URL. Required.
- Client type
- Local clients only. There's no Profile to point at otherwise.
- Placements
- High-metric, niche-relevant private-network properties.
- Article
- Optional, AI-written from the client's company brief and its exclusion list. Priced separately and shown on the button.
- Deliverable
- A screenshot per placement, rendered inline in a branded report. Not a live URL.
- Indexing
- Unavailable, and labelled as such: screenshot deliverables are not indexed.
- Reporting
- Under Local SEO → Reports. Branded HTML, PDF, Google Drive export, kept against the client.
- Refunds
- Charged on acceptance, refunded automatically if the order can't be placed.
No turnaround is published here or on any other page we run, because there's no delivery data we'd stand behind and a made-up estimate costs more trust than saying nothing — the status flow in the report is what you actually get. Credit costs are the live values on your account and are printed on the button that spends them. This product is fulfilled through an outside network, so a catalogue change can move the figure; the button always carries the current one.
What it costs to find out
See where the profile stops ranking, free. No card.
Verify your email and 30 credits land, no card. Twenty of them run a map-grid scan across the client's service area — the heatmap that shows which blocks the Business Profile owns and which it's absent from. Five more build the company brief from their own site.
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.
Being straight: a link is 100 credits and the grant is 30. It does not reach one, and we're not going to imply otherwise. But buying Profile links before you've seen the coverage map is guessing, and the grant covers exactly the thing that stops you guessing.
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.
- A hundred credits for a screenshot?
- Yes, and it's the fair criticism of this product. What you're buying is the placement, not the photograph of it — the screenshot is the receipt. Publishing the URLs would let anyone enumerate the network, which is how a private network gets found, filtered and deindexed. You can have verifiable URLs or you can have a network that keeps working. If the screenshot is a dealbreaker, buy the citation pack instead: those come back as live indexable URLs.
- Why aim at the Business Profile instead of the website?
- Because they rank different things. Your site's authority feeds local organic results; map-pack position is decided substantially by the Profile. Nearly every link product on the market points at a homepage by default, which means an enormous amount of local link spend lands on the surface that wasn't the problem. Ask the last vendor you used whether they ever requested a CID URL.
- Is this safe? Private networks have a reputation.
- The reputation comes from footprints — the same template, the same interlinking, publicly listable placements, and content nobody would ever read. That's exactly what the screenshot policy and the niche-matching exist to avoid. What we won't do is tell you private-network links carry no risk, because that would be a lie about the whole category. Point them at a Business Profile, keep the volume sane, and don't build a client's entire local strategy on one layer.
- Do I have to use your writing?
- No. The article is optional and you can supply your own. If you do use ours, it's written from the company brief — a profile built by crawling the client's own website, plus the topics they've told us to avoid — so it won't claim a certification they don't hold or a suburb they don't serve. That constraint is deliberate and it isn't switchable off.
Links aimed at the profile,
not the homepage.
Thirty credits. A grid scan and a company brief. No card.
Scan the service area first. If the Profile is already holding the top of the pack across every block that matters, don't buy this — you're finished.
If it drops out three miles from the door, you now know which surface to work on.
30 credits on email verification. No card. A few founding spots are left.
