Hire an AI agent to earn your backlinks. No SEO team needed.

Your plan: Starter is $149 a month, Growth $399, Scale $999. Site fees come on top only when a site asks for one and you approve it. Most good sites ask $75 to $250, and with a $0 budget the agent sticks to free asks. Extra inboxes or LinkedIn profiles are $19 a month each. If your agent needs more prospect credits than your plan includes, extra credits are $0.03 each, only if you opt in or buy a pack.

Because it starts working for you the moment you launch: it connects your inbox or LinkedIn and pitches in your name. The free preview before that needs no card at all, so you see your first prospects and a real draft before you decide. Changed your mind? Refund yourself from Billing: in full within 24 hours if nothing has gone out yet, usage-adjusted within 7 days.

Yes, self-serve from Billing in the app. Within 24 hours of a charge, and before any outreach has gone out, you get it all back. After that, or once outreach has gone out, and up to 7 days, you get it back minus what you've already used: the share of prospecting credits used and $6 for each inbox or LinkedIn profile you connected. You see the exact amount before you confirm. This covers your first billing periods; after that, write to us.

Open Billing in the app and press Cancel. You answer one quick question and you're done. Your plan runs to the end of the period you already paid for.

No. There is no list of sites that link to anyone, and no link farm. The agent emails real editors, writers, and site owners and earns a link when one of them says yes. That's slower than a "generator", and it's the kind of link that can help your rankings instead of hurting them. Most good sites ask for a fee today, so you set a budget and approve every payment.

Usually not. Most good sites ask for a fee to add a link today, often $75 to $250 in the replies our agents get. Fees come on top of your plan. Your agent negotiates within the budget you set and checks with you before any payment. With a $0 budget it sticks to free asks (sites that already mention you, resource pages, your partners), so expect fewer links and a slower start.

The agent pitches real, relevant sites one at a time. It doesn't use link networks, PBNs or automated link exchanges, the kind of tactics Google's spam policies call link spam. Every link comes from a site owner who decided to add you. When a site asks for a fee, you decide whether to pay it, and a $0 budget keeps the agent on free asks only.

It works on the part you can influence. AI answers are built from other sites: roundups, reviews, best-of lists. In an Ahrefs study of 75,000 brands, mentions on other sites tracked much more closely with showing up in Google's AI Overviews than backlinks or the number of pages on your own site. Those are the pages your agent pitches. No one can promise an AI will name you, and we don't track AI mentions yet.

It depends on your site, your niche, and your link budget, so we won't promise a number. A typical first month: replies start in week 2–3, the first links go live in weeks 3–6, and the pace climbs as your inbox warms up and the agent learns what works for you. If your site isn't ready to earn links, the agent says so before you pay.

No. Enter your domain and approve drafts. The agent does the research, the writing, and the follow-ups. If you do know SEO, you can steer it through the playbook.

You enter your domain. The agent reads your site, picks target pages, seeds keywords, scans search results and competitor backlinks, judges every prospect (keep, drop, or second look), finds the people behind the kept pages with email and LinkedIn, and drafts personalized outreach. It sends the pitches from your own inbox or LinkedIn profile, follows up, and negotiates when a site replies, often about a fee. Every payment waits for your OK, and when a site owner replies you get a suggested answer to review. Pitches and follow-ups wait for you too, until it earns auto-send. Opportunities are tracked to live links either way.

The way a senior link builder would: it derives your positioning and keywords from your actual site, checks which pages rank around you, analyzes competitor backlink profiles, and filters out directories, link farms, and direct competitors. Every verdict comes with a written reason you can audit.

Pitches, once it has earned your trust. Agents start in approve mode: drafts wait for your yes. After five email pitches in a row that you approved with little or no editing, email switches to sending on its own. It tells you when that happens, and you can switch back in one click or keep approving every email. LinkedIn goes on autopilot only when you flip it. Every send stays inside your playbook's send windows, pacing, and exclusions. Any payment always waits for your OK. When a site owner replies, you get a suggested answer to review; follow-ups can go out on their own once your agent sends automatically.

Yes. BacklinkGPT runs an MCP server, so you can connect it to ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor and other MCP-capable assistants and ask your agent for prospects, drafts and replies right in the chat. Setup takes a minute: see the MCP server docs.

For every kept prospect, the agent hunts for the right person (editor, author, or founder) and surfaces email addresses and LinkedIn profiles, ranked by who is most likely to say yes to your specific pitch.

Drafts are grounded in the prospect's actual page and your site's angle, not templates. Every pitch waits for your approval until your agent earns auto-send, and you can edit any draft, so you know its voice before it sends on its own.

The agent tells you. If your site is a weak fit (thin content, no linkable assets), it says so before you pay and lists what to fix first. We don't start a plan for it until that changes: publish what it suggests and ask it to check again. The same goes for sites in niches publishers refuse to link to, like gambling or adult content.

Minutes. The first scan surfaces kept opportunities, with contacts, while you're still in onboarding. Links take longer: replies usually start in week 2–3 and the first links go live in weeks 3–6, once your sender has warmed up.

No, there's a free preview instead. Before any card, the agent reads your site and shows your first prospects and a real draft, usually within a few minutes, so you can judge the work before you pay. If you like what you see, you start a plan: it's charged the day you start, from $149 a month, and you can cancel in one click. Changed your mind? Refund yourself from Billing: in full within 24 hours if nothing has gone out yet, usage-adjusted within 7 days. If the agent rates your site hard to win links for today, it tells you why before you pay and doesn't start a plan. We also offer free SEO tools you can use without a plan.

The app is in English for now. Your agent writes each pitch in the language of the page it pitches, so a German site gets a German pitch.

We use secure authentication, encrypted HTTPS connections, and workspace-level access controls so only authorized members can access campaign data.

BacklinkGPT was founded by Felix Vemmer, a digital marketer who got tired of link-building busywork and built an agent to do the hunting instead.
