Who hires a link building consultant, and who shouldn't
A good fit if
- You have someone doing outreach in-house, but nobody senior deciding which pages need links and with which anchors.
- You're building links every month and the pages you care about aren't moving.
- You want a plan and a second opinion before you hire a link building agency or a full-time link builder.
- You sell B2B SaaS and your pricing, integration and alternatives pages need authority.
Not a fit if
- Ecommerce, local businesses or consumer apps. I work only with B2B SaaS.
- Anyone who wants links from PBNs, guest post farms or link directories.
- Teams shopping for the lowest per-link price. That's a marketplace, not a consultant.
Start with the plan. Decide who executes after.
Every option lists exactly what you get. Monthly advisory can also be added to any done-for-you plan.
Option 1
One-Off Strategy Call
For a senior second opinion on one decision, or a first look before you commit to more.
$300one-off
- Pre-call questionnaire: your goals, competitors and questions
- Review before the call: your backlink profile, top pages and top 3 competitors, plus how ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity answer 5 of your buyer prompts
- 60-minute video call with Vikas
- Call recording
- Written summary within 2 business days: your top 5 priorities and next steps
Doesn't include ongoing reviews or hands-on work.
Option 2
Monthly Advisory
For in-house teams that do the work and want a senior consultant setting the direction every month.
$500/ month
- Month 1 kickoff review: backlinks, rankings and AI citations against your top 3 competitors
- Monthly priorities doc: the pages to work on, link targets and anchors for the month
- 2 strategy calls a month, 45 minutes each
- Review of up to 10 link targets or sites and up to 4 content briefs a month
- Slack access, with replies within 1 business day
- Month-to-month, cancel any time
Your team does the hands-on work.
Option 3
Done for You
For teams that want the links placed, with the same senior strategy behind them.
$1,250/ month and up
- Backlink gap analysis, anchor and target-page strategy
- My team places 5 to 15 editorial links a month on DR 50 to 70+ sites
- Every link reported with domain, DR, target page, anchor and live URL
- 1-year link insurance: removed links replaced free
- Month-to-month
From backlink gap audit to live links
- 1
Backlink gap audit
Your profile against your top 3 competitors: the domains linking to them and not you, your under-linked pages and the anchor patterns behind their rankings.
- 2
Target-page and anchor plan
Which pages get links first, starting with the revenue pages closest to a demo request, and an anchor mix that never piles exact-match anchors onto one URL.
- 3
Walkthrough call
We go through the plan together and agree what happens first, whether your team runs it or mine does.
- 4
Execution and review
Your team builds the links and I review targets, sites and anchors every month, or my team places them and you see every link with its domain, DR, page and anchor.
Link building consultant vs agency vs in-house in 2026
An in-house link builder costs $130K to $210K a year once you count salary and tools, and agencies $45K to $96K (our cost breakdown). A consultant gives you the senior judgement at a fraction of either.
| Consultant (me) | Typical agency | In-house hire | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who decides the strategy | Me, directly | An account manager relaying a strategist | Your hire, once trained |
| Editorial relationships | 3,500+ editorial partners from day one | Varies; some sell from a site list | Built from cold outreach over months |
| Anchor and target pages | Planned from your profile and competitors | Often templated | Trial and error |
| Typical cost | Call $300, advisory $500/mo, or done for you from $1,250/mo | $45K to $96K a year | $130K to $210K a year |
| Commitment | One-off call or month-to-month | Often 6 to 12 month contracts | A full-time salary |
Why SaaS teams hire me for link building
I founded SAASY LINKS to do link building only for B2B SaaS. Over 10,000 editorial links later, I know which publications move Google rankings for software companies, which anchor patterns work on pricing and comparison pages, and where competitors get links you haven't thought to pursue. I keep 3,500+ editorial partners because most good placements come from relationships, not cold pitches.
The same links now decide AI visibility. HeyReach has 34 ChatGPT, 58 Perplexity and 12 Gemini citations (Searchable, July 2026) alongside its DR 39 to 66 climb, which is why every review I do checks ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews as well as Google.
“After working with Vikas for several months now, I can highly recommend his services. He finds great opportunities and consistently delivers. He took the time to understand our niche and built a great strategy.”

Questions SaaS teams ask before hiring me
What does a link building consultant do?
A link building consultant audits your backlink profile against your competitors, decides which pages need links and with which anchors, and either guides your team's outreach or places the links. The difference from an agency is that one senior person owns the decisions.
Should I hire a link building consultant or an agency?
Hire a consultant if you already have someone doing outreach and need senior direction, or if you want a plan before choosing who executes. Hire done-for-you execution if nobody on your team does outreach. I offer both, so you can start with a one-off strategy call and decide afterwards.
How much does a link building consultant cost?
A one-off strategy call is $300, and Monthly Advisory is $500 a month, month-to-month. Done-for-you plans run from $1,250 a month for 5 editorial links on DR 50+ sites, month-to-month with 1-year link insurance. For comparison, an in-house link builder costs $130K to $210K a year.
What do I get from the strategy call and monthly advisory?
The one-off strategy call ($300) starts with a questionnaire and a review of your backlink profile, top pages, top 3 competitors and 5 buyer prompts in ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity, then a 60-minute call with a recording and a written summary of your top 5 priorities within 2 business days. Monthly Advisory ($500 a month) adds a kickoff review, a monthly priorities doc, 2 calls a month of 45 minutes each, reviews of up to 10 link targets and 4 content briefs a month, and Slack replies within 1 business day.
What kinds of links do you build on the done-for-you plans?
Editorial dofollow links inside real articles on DR 50+ SaaS, tech and B2B publications with real organic traffic. No guest post farms, link directories or PBNs, and any link removed within 12 months is replaced free.
Who will I work with?
Me. I set the strategy, approve the targets and run the monthly reviews myself. On done-for-you plans my team handles outreach and placement, and you still talk to me.
Book a call and I'll show you the gap
Before the call I pull your backlink profile against your top 3 competitors. On the call I show you the gap domains and under-linked pages, and tell you which option fits, including if you don't need a consultant at all.
