What are link building services? +
Services that earn or place links to your site on other websites. The common units are guest posts, niche edits (link insertions), citations and business profiles, and press releases. ACG bundles them into fixed-price packages and also sells each unit on its own.
How much does link building typically cost? +
Single links from ACG cost $22 for a guest post and $40 and up for a niche edit or editorial link. Packages run from $99 (Foundational) to $2,899 (AI Visibility, 15 placements). Agencies that quote $300 to $500 per link are usually pricing DR 50+ publications, which we sell separately on the editorial links page.
Are link building packages worth it? +
They are worth it when the package tells you exactly which link types and site metrics you get, and the links are on real sites with traffic. They are not worth it when the package is a count of "links" with no site quality stated. Every ACG package lists the unit, the metric floor and the turnaround.
Which package should I start with? +
A site with fewer than 20 referring domains should start with Foundational. A site that already has a base and needs to move rankings should take Authority. A brand that wants to show up in ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overviews as well as Google should take AI Visibility, which adds brand mentions and Reddit placements to the Authority mix.
What types of links are included in each package? +
Foundational Links packs contain business listings, branded profiles, press release links and blog-post links, the signals that confirm a brand is real. Authority packs contain DR-tiered guest posts and niche edits. AI Visibility packs add brand mentions, brand reviews and community mentions on top of the editorial links. Every count is on the package card and in the deliverables table above.
What happened to social bookmarking, PDF and infographic links? +
We retired them. Bookmarking, document-sharing and infographic-directory links stopped moving rankings years ago, so the packages now contain only link types that do: editorial guest posts, niche edits, press releases, listings, profiles and brand mentions. If you bought a legacy Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum package, your subscription continues at the same price on the equivalent Foundational Links pack.
What DA or DR range do placements target? +
Foundational Links packs target DA 25–80 platforms. Authority and AI Visibility packs are built from DR-tiered editorial placements: Authority 5 uses DR 30+ sites, Authority 10 mixes DR 30–50, Authority 15 and AI Visibility 15 go up to DR 60+. All sites are manually vetted for real organic traffic and editorial standards, not just the number a toolbar reports.
How long does delivery take? +
Foundational Links packs deliver in 1–4 weeks depending on size. Authority and AI Visibility packs take 2–6 weeks because every editorial placement is pitched, written and approved by a real site owner. We send live URLs as each placement goes live. You're never left waiting for a bulk report at the end.
