Read the full study and its methodThe guarantee
15 verified backlinks every month. Or you don’t pay until you get them.
Most link sellers promise a Domain Rating or a ranking they don’t control. We guarantee the part we do control: real links to your site, placed in real articles, that you can check one by one.
- Your blog is connected to Outrank and publishing, and the backlink exchange is turned on. It is on by default.
- Your site runs on its own domain. Free blog addresses such as myshopify.com or wordpress.com can't take part in the exchange.
- If fewer than 15 verified backlinks reach your site in a billing month, write to support@outrank.so or use the chat in your dashboard.
- We check the count on your Backlinks page and extend your plan at no cost until your site reaches 15 for that month.
28
verified backlinks a month for the typical connected site
Median across 1,026 sites with a connected blog, in the 30 days to September 29, 2026. 61.6% of them received 20 or more. The guarantee covers the months that come in lower.
What “verified” means
Live on a real page
We load the host article and confirm the link to your site is in the page. Until then it does not count.
Inside an article, in your niche
Links sit in the body of a relevant article in your language. Never in footers, sidebars or link lists.
Visible to you
Your dashboard lists every link with its host site, its Domain Rating and the article it sits in.
Refunded if it disappears
We keep checking. If a host removes your link, it stops counting and the credits go back to you.

What steady backlinks do
A few links a day, every day, adds up
Three Outrank customers whose Domain Rating we tracked month by month on Ahrefs, from the day they joined.
Source: Ahrefs, September 2026. Domain Rating is measured by Ahrefs, an independent third party. Outrank has no control over it, which is why we guarantee links, not a DR number.
How it works
From connected store to verified backlinks
Set it up once. Outrank handles the research, the writing, the publishing and the link building.
- Step 1
Connect your Shopify store
One click. Outrank syncs your products and learns your catalog, your brand voice and the customers you sell to.
2 minutes
- Step 2
Product-led articles go live
Outrank finds the searches your buyers make before they buy and publishes an article a day to your Shopify blog, linking to the right products.
Every day, on auto-pilot
- Step 3
Backlinks arrive
Businesses in your niche link to you inside their own articles. You see every one, and you get at least 15 a month.

Inside real articles only
Links are written into the body of published articles. At most two or three per article, never in footers or link lists.
Relevant to your niche
AI checks topic and language before every placement. If nothing relevant fits, no link is placed.
No back-and-forth swaps
A site that just linked to you can’t get a link back from you for 14 days, and the same site links to you at most once every 30 days.
Natural anchor text
Anchors come from your preferred wording or natural variations. Exact-match keyword anchors are rejected.
Clean neighbourhood
Adult, gambling and free blog hosts are excluded, and sites flagged for inappropriate content are removed automatically.
You stay in control
See every link pointing to your site, with the article it sits in, and switch the exchange off with one click.
