Clients
Companies that let me put their name on it.
Each of these hired me to build links, and each agreed to be named. Open any one to see how that campaign was run.
What is included
Four kinds of placement, and what each one is for.
Four kinds of placement, all of them link insertions into live pages. I do not sell guest posts, so nothing here depends on a brand new article nobody has read yet.
SaaS to SaaS placements
Links from software and tech sites your buyers already read, not from a general blog network that will take anyone.
Listicle placements
Your product added into the "best tools" and comparison posts that people read when they are close to choosing. These send readers, not just authority.
Contextual link insertions
Placed where the sentence was already heading, in a paragraph that was going to be read anyway. Not bolted on at the end of a post nobody reaches.
Outreach for your niche
If your category needs a site I do not already hold, I go and get it. Fresh outreach, same standards, before anything is offered to you.
Who runs this
Work directly with the person doing the work.
Hi, I am Imran Ali, founder of SaaS Dofollow. I started it because most link building is sold by one person and done by another. You talk to a strategist, then a junior sends the emails and a spreadsheet arrives at the end. I take that personally, because it is your budget and your site on the line.
When you work with me, you get the founder doing the work, not overseeing it. I open each site, write the pitch, chase the editor and check the link went live. Every campaign is on the case studies page.
Every campaign, I focus on three things:
- Pull your competitors' backlinks in Ahrefs and find the gaps worth filling
- Check every site by hand before it is ever offered to you
- Log each placement with its live URL, so you can verify it without asking me
Relevance decides before domain rating does. A DR 45 site your buyers actually read is worth more than a DR 75 general site that has never covered your category. The numbers on this page are real, and they are the floor a placement has to clear, not the thing I select on.
Two years of this has been off-page SEO for SaaS startups, AI tools and B2B platforms. The list came out of that work rather than a purchase. Every site on it is one I found while running a campaign, kept because it performed, and I take sites off it as readily as I add them.
You do not have to take any of this on trust. The clients above are named, every placement I have made is logged with its live URL, and I will open that log for you on the first email. Check it before you reply to anyone in this industry, me included.
What it involves
What SaaS link building actually means here.
Three questions people ask before they buy, answered plainly rather than sold.
Link insertions, or what most people call niche edits.
A link insertion puts your link inside an article that is already published, already indexed and already ranking. The industry also calls these niche edits. Same thing, different name. The page has age, traffic and rankings behind it, and that history is usually what makes the link worth more than a new post would be. Here is how my link insertion service works.
How that differs from a guest post.
A guest post is a fresh article written to carry your link. It starts at zero: no age, no rankings, nobody reading it yet, and it may never earn any. An insertion borrows what the page already has. I only do insertions, because that is what my site list is built around, and I would rather do one thing properly than offer both and be average at each.
Whether they actually work.
They work when the page is real. A link inside a live article on a site with genuine traffic and genuine readers passes something on. The identical link on a page built to host links passes nothing, and can cost you. Telling those two apart is the entire job, and it is why this list grows slowly instead of being bought in bulk.
Operating cadence
What happens before a link goes live.
Outreach is slow and pretending otherwise is how people lose clients early. Here is the actual sequence, so you know what you are paying for in the meantime.
Niche match
You tell me what you sell and who buys it. I tell you whether I have real inventory for that category. If I don't, that is the end of the conversation and it costs you one email.
Competitor backlink analysis
I pull your top competitors' backlink profiles in Ahrefs. Which pages earn them authority, which sites appear across several of them, what anchor text they use. The gaps in that picture are where the target list comes from.
Research and vetting
Each candidate site gets checked against your specific product: traffic, editorial standards, whether they have covered adjacent tools, whether a link from them makes sense to a reader. Relevance decides before domain rating does. Sites get cut at this stage.
Anchor and target page strategy
Which page each link points at, and what text carries it. Built from what your competitors' profiles already look like, so the pattern stays natural instead of spiking on one commercial phrase.
Outreach and editorial pitch
I pitch each site individually with an angle specific to what they cover. Some say yes, some never answer. That is the honest shape of outreach and it is why this is not instant.
Placement
Editorial runs its process. I handle the back and forth, the revisions, and where the link sits inside the piece so it reads naturally rather than bolted on.
Reporting
Live URLs for everything placed, with the site, its domain rating and the anchor used. You can verify every line yourself, which is the only kind of report worth sending.
Comparison
You have probably paid for the left column.
This is what most of the market sells, and what I do instead.
- A database of thousands of sites, resold to everyone who asks, with your niche filtered by a keyword search.
- Placements on sites that exist only to host paid links, with no readers and no editorial standard.
- A template blast to hundreds of addresses at once, signed by someone who has never read the site.
- Anchor text picked at random, or the same commercial phrase on every link until the pattern looks bought.
- A report counting links delivered, with no way for you to check whether any of them matter.
- 841 active sites, every one opened and read before it went on the list, and pruned when a site stops being worth placing on.
- Real sites with real audiences, which is why the list stays small and grows slowly.
- One pitch at a time, written after I have read what that site publishes.
- Anchors chosen page by page, so the profile ends up looking like the ones already ranking.
- Live URLs you can open, on sites you can judge for yourself: permanent, dofollow, and replaced free for a year if one drops.
Pricing
Published before the call.
One-off packages, nothing recurring. The DR figures are the floor a placement has to clear, not how I choose. Relevance still decides which sites get pitched. Every link is permanent, dofollow and indexable, and carries a one-year replacement warranty.

Every tier is the same work: competitor gap analysis, manual vetting, individual pitches, and me doing all of it. What changes is volume and the quality floor placements have to clear. Email me if your situation doesn't fit one of these cleanly; it often doesn't.
Verticals
Fifteen categories, and how deep the list runs in each.
841 active sites, grouped by what they genuinely cover. These counts are real and they move as the list is pruned and added to. If your category sits near the bottom of this list, I will tell you rather than stretch a general tech site to fit.
Travel, events & lifestyle hold smaller sets, 4 sites between them. A further 89 sit across general business and tech without belonging to one category cleanly. Tell me your category and I will give you the honest count for it before you commit to anything. Send me your site and the matching sites come back the same day.
Fit
Four reasons to hire someone else.
Saying this now saves us both a call.
You need volume.
If the target is hundreds of links at a time, this doesn't work. Every placement goes through manual research and an individual pitch. A marketplace will hit that number and I won't pretend to.
Your category is thin on my list.
The list is deep in marketing, software, e-commerce, AI, sales and HR tech. Where I only hold a handful of sites I will tell you the count up front, and if it is too thin to be worth your money, I will say that rather than pad it with general tech sites.
You want guaranteed rankings.
Nobody can guarantee that, and anyone who does is selling you something else. I can tell you what gets placed and where. What it does to your rankings depends on your site, your content and your competition.
You're buying on price alone.
Manual vetting costs more per link than a bulk list. If the deciding factor is the lowest number on the quote, the bulk sellers will win it and you should let them.
Questions
Asked before every engagement.
How do you actually vet a site?
I open it and read it. I look at whether it's publishing recently, whether the articles are written for readers or for search engines, whether there are real bylines, and whether it covers your category rather than everything at once. I check its traffic and domain rating. If a site looks like it exists to sell links, it doesn't go on the list. The full process is in how I vet a link insertion site.
Are these paid placements?
Most of them, yes. A site that accepts contributed content at any scale almost always charges a placement fee, and anyone showing you a list this size while calling all of it purely earned coverage is not being straight with you.
What you are paying me for is the filter, not the fee. A marketplace sells you the same list it sells everyone and takes no view on whether a site has readers. I open every site, check whether it still has real traffic, whether it publishes for people or for search engines, and whether it has ever covered your category. Sites that fail get cut, which is why the list grows slowly.
What I will not do is put you on a site built purely to host links, or tell you a placement was earned on merit when it was bought.
How long does it take?
First placements usually go live inside two to three weeks, and a full package of five to fifteen inserts typically completes in four to six weeks. Because I already hold relationships with these sites rather than pitching cold every time, the timeline is more predictable than open outreach, but editorial still moves at its own pace, and a piece occasionally sits an extra week.
You are paying for placements, not for attempts. Anything I cannot place, you are not charged for.
Do you guarantee rankings?
No. Links are one input among many, and the rest is not in my hands: your content, your site's technical state, how competitive your keywords are. I guarantee the work: the competitor analysis, the vetting, the outreach, and live URLs you can verify. Anyone guaranteeing positions is either guessing or lying.
What happens if a link drops?
I restore it on the same site where the editor will allow it, and where they will not, I place a replacement on a site of similar quality and metrics. There is no extra charge either way, for a year from the placement date.
The part that matters is who notices. Most sellers leave that to you, which means a link can sit dead a long time before anyone checks. I run the log against live URLs myself, so the first person to know is me.
Should I do this in-house instead?
Sometimes, yes. If you already have someone who can spend real hours a week on prospecting, vetting and outreach, doing it in-house gives you control and costs less per link over time. What you are outsourcing to me is a list that took years to build and check, and the hours it takes to work it, not a skill you could not learn.
Where in-house tends to break down is consistency. Link building is the first thing dropped when a launch lands, and a list goes stale the moment nobody is checking it. If that sounds like your team, outsourcing the execution is usually the cheaper answer even at my rates.
Is this white hat?
No PBNs, no link farms, no private networks, no automated software, no reciprocal schemes. Every placement sits on a real site with real readers, and the page is one Google already crawls and ranks.
What I will not do is claim these are all purely earned coverage. Most sites that accept contributed content charge a placement fee, and pretending otherwise about a list this size would be the dishonest part. The line I hold is the quality of the site, not the semantics of how the placement was arranged.
Am I locked in?
No. Each package is a one-off. You buy a set number of placements, I deliver them, and that is the end of it unless you decide to come back. There is no retainer, no contract, no notice period and nothing that renews on its own.
No hourly billing, no revenue share, no annual commitment. If I cannot place a link I agreed to, you are not charged for it.
What does it cost?
It's published above: $875 to $3,675 depending on volume and the quality floor you want placements to clear. If your situation doesn't fit one of those cleanly, email me and I'll quote it straight rather than push you into the nearest tier.
Who am I actually dealing with?
Me, at every stage. There's no sales call with someone else, no handover to a delivery team, and no account manager. The booking link and the email address below both reach the person doing the work.
Next step
Tell me what you sell.
Send me your product, your category, and what you've tried already. I'll tell you whether I have inventory that fits and what I'd do, or that I'm not the right fit, which happens and costs you nothing.
