Autolinks vs a link building agency.
An agency sells you a team and a monthly report. Autolinks is software: an AI agent runs the same pipeline, and you see every link and its status as it happens.
- High-quality links

- Cancel anytime
The same links, without the retainer.
| Link building agency | Autolinks | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Retainers often around $5,000/month | From $599/month |
| What you get | Often “up to” a range of links | An exact number of placements every month |
| Start | Calls, proposals, onboarding | A link plan in 60 seconds, approved in 10 minutes |
| Link standard | Varies by agency and account manager | 10-point review, DR 30+ floor |
| Reporting | A monthly PDF | Every link and its status in your dashboard |
| If a link drops | Depends on the contract | Replaced free for 12 months |
| Commitment | Often a minimum term | Monthly, cancel anytime |
Where the difference comes from.
An agent instead of account managers
Research, vetting, placement and monitoring run in software. You pay for links, not for the people coordinating them.
Every link, not a summary
Each placement shows in your dashboard with its status, from placed to verified and indexed. Nothing waits for month end.
You approve the plan
Target pages, anchors and niches are in the link plan you approve before anything is ordered.
When an agency is the better fit.
You want digital PR
Data studies, press coverage and campaigns built around news are agency work. Autolinks places links; it doesn’t run PR.
You want one vendor for all SEO
If you want content, technical SEO and links from one team on one contract, a full-service agency covers more ground.
You want a person on the phone
Some teams value a dedicated account manager. Autolinks gives you a dashboard and support, not a weekly call.
Common questions
Is Autolinks a link building agency?
No. Autolinks is software: an AI agent runs the research, vetting, placement and monitoring, and you see every link and its status in your dashboard. That is why it costs a fraction of an agency retainer.
Are the links the same quality an agency would build?
Every placement is an in-body, dofollow link on a relevant site with real organic traffic, DR 30+ or DR 40+ depending on your plan, and passes our 10-point review. No link farms, PBNs or site-wide links.
Can I use Autolinks alongside an agency?
Yes. You choose the target pages and adjust the anchor plan, so the links support the pages and keywords your existing SEO work prioritises.
Is there a minimum contract?
No. Plans are monthly and you can cancel anytime. Every link you have already received stays live and stays guaranteed.
