How it works

Three steps to your first backlink.

You connect your site once. The matching, placing and tracking run on their own after that.

  1. 01

    Join the network

    Connect your site. Citeca reads what you sell and where, so it knows which businesses are relevant to yours.

  2. 02

    Get matched

    You are paired with businesses your customers also use: a hotel with a chauffeur service, a wedding planner, a city food guide.

  3. 03

    Watch your rating climb

    Partners link to you from inside their new articles. Each link is tracked, and your domain rating rises as they land.

Why an exchange

Outreach, replaced.

Earning links usually means a spreadsheet of editors and weeks of follow-ups. The exchange does that job for you.

Before

Link building on your own

  • Hours a week of prospecting, pitching and follow-ups
  • Most emails never get a reply
  • Sites that do reply often want paying per link
  • Paid links put your site at risk with Google
With Citeca

Link building on autopilot

  • Matched with relevant businesses automatically
  • Every site vetted for quality and traffic before it joins
  • Links placed inside new, relevant articles
  • Included in the $99 plan, nothing per link

Link placement

Your link goes inside a brand-new article.

Partners publish new articles every month. When one is relevant to you, Citeca writes your link into a sentence where it belongs, in the body of the article, with natural anchor text.

  • Dofollow, in the body
  • Natural anchor text
  • Never a footer or directory

Every link, accounted for

See each backlink the day it lands.

Your dashboard lists every placement: the site it came from, the article it sits in, the anchor text, the partner's domain rating and whether it is still live.

  • Source and article
  • Live or indexing
  • Tracked after it lands

FAQ

Questions, answered.

  • Businesses in related fields whose customers overlap with yours. A hotel is matched with a chauffeur service, a wedding planner and a city food guide; a plumber with a home inspector and a property manager. Every site is checked for quality and traffic before it joins the network, and low-quality or off-topic sites are rejected or removed.
