The question that comes first
Is buying backlinks a risk
Google targets link networks and automatically generated links. What decides the outcome is the choice of source.
Six months of history you can see
Before you book, you see how a domain has developed in visibility, traffic and backlink profile. A domain that is currently slipping shows up beforehand.
Profile, not single booking
Planning watches the ratio of brand, URL and money anchors and checks it against your existing link profile. A profile stands out through patterns, not through a single link.

What you get
One of the most affordable places to buy backlinks in Europe
Let MentionIQ build a link building strategy that fits your website and your market. Six placement types are ready for it.
Editorial content links
High-quality articles on topically relevant websites, with a dofollow link, embedded editorially and published by publishers from our portfolio of 100,000+ vetted domains.
Brand mentions for AI search
ChatGPT, Google AI and others cite brands that get mentioned across the web. We place your brand in relevant editorial settings, linked or unlinked, always in the right context.
MentionIQ: AI-backed recommendations
The engine analyses your link profile and your competitors and shows you which placements you are missing. That way you close the gap on purpose.
Digital PR and advertorials
Mentions in magazines, trade portals and industry media strengthen trust, E-E-A-T signals and brand perception, with Google, with AI systems and with your customers.
Authority through expert positioning
Position yourself or your founders as experts. The interview portfolio holds the right trade publication for thought leadership and founder branding.
Managed link building
No time for link building? Our team plans, books and steers the entire off-page strategy including reporting. You set the goal, we deliver the placements.
Why bought links often move nothing
What decides the effect is the selection, not the price.
Inventory instead of authority
What gets sold is whatever happens to be on the list, not what Google and AI systems treat as authority.
Inflated metrics
Without a history of the metrics, nobody notices when a domain was pushed up for a short while.
Markups along the chain
Reseller chains add 30 to 100 percent to the buying price. You pay more for exactly the same publisher.
Features you will love
Backlinks that rank, and mentions that AI search cites
MentionIQ analyses your link profile, compares it with your competitors and recommends exactly the placements you are missing. No guessing, no booking blind.
Metrics from every source
Ahrefs, Majestic and Moz plus the GetMentioned Score, with six months of history per domain.
Direct booking
Filter publishers, see the price, book. No quote requests, no negotiating.
Duplicate check
Before every booking we check against your existing link profile so nothing runs twice.
One invoice
50 bookings come to one document instead of 50 invoices in your accounting.
Multi-project
Several domains, brands or client accounts side by side, with separate budgets.
Live tracking
The status of every booking, from booked through in progress to live and indexed.
Reporting
CSV export, prepared for clients or for management.
A person to talk to
A named contact instead of a ticket queue, even at low volume.

What you are really buying when you buy a backlink
A backlink is not an off-the-shelf product. You are buying an editorial spot on someone else’s website, one that has its own readers, its own rankings and its own history. Those three things decide whether the link has any effect. The price says little about it, because it mostly follows from the publisher’s reach and the length of the sales chain.
That is why analysis comes before every purchase here. MentionIQ compares your link profile with your competitors, finds the pages where you are short on authority and suggests publishers that can close that gap. Prices come after that.
The placement types there are
| Type | What you get | What it suits |
|---|---|---|
| Editorial content link | Article with a dofollow link | Strengthening category and service pages |
| Brand mention | A mention in the text, linked or not | Awareness and visibility in AI answers |
| Advertorial | Labelled sponsored article | Reach in large media |
| Interview | Expert piece featuring a person | Founder branding and E-E-A-T |
| Digital PR | Editorial pickup of a topic | Anchoring the brand in its field |
Is buying backlinks allowed?
Google takes a critical view of paid links and expects them to be labelled when money changed hands. In practice what matters is whether a placement is embedded editorially and holds value for readers. Articles that exist purely to carry a link get noticed. Articles that fit the publication’s audience do not.
How many backlinks do you need?
There is no fixed number. What helps is a comparison with the domains ranking for your target keywords: how many referring domains does their particular page have, and how far ahead of you are they. That difference gives you a realistic need, spread over several months.
- Prioritise target URLs by revenue potential
- Measure the gap to competitors per page, not just at domain level
- Stagger placements across months instead of one wave
- Plan anchor text in proportion, mostly brand and generic
How to spot a good publisher
Organic traffic over at least six months, topical proximity to what you offer, a recognisable editorial line and a link environment that is not drawn from twenty industries at once. Metrics like domain rating belong in the picture, but they do not carry a decision on their own, because they can be influenced.
What buying with GetMentioned costs
Access to the platform is free, there is no subscription and no service fee on the placement price. You pay only for what you book, at the publisher’s direct price. In German-speaking markets, solid trade publishers sit mostly between €200 and €500, with the range open at the top.
Common questions about buying backlinks
What does a backlink cost at GetMentioned?
Every publisher has a fixed price that you see before booking. There is no signup fee, no subscription and no service fee on the placement price.
How long does publication take?
Usually 2 to 4 working days after you approve the copy. Some publishers take longer, and you see that before booking.
Is the copy included in the price?
Yes. Copy up to 1,000 words including editing is part of the placement. You can also supply your own text if you prefer.
How long does the link stay online?
We give a 12-month link guarantee. If a link drops in that time, we arrange a replacement or get it restored.
What exactly does MentionIQ analyse?
Your current link profile, your existing links, your rankings for specific keywords and the strategies your competitors run. That shows you where you are short on authority and which moves carry the most impact.
How can I follow the progress of my links?
You have access to the status of every booking at any time and can see which links are live, which are in progress and what is happening right now.
What happens if something does not go to plan?
We monitor every placement and step in when there are problems, with indexing or with publication. In the end you always get what was agreed.
When will I see the first results in my rankings?
First effects are often visible after a few weeks. The full impact usually shows within 2 to 3 months.
Is buying backlinks not risky?
What matters is the selection. We work with editorial placements on sites with real traffic and a verified history, not with link networks.
