How much do niche edits cost?
Niche edits start at $69 for a DR 20+ site and are priced by the site’s Domain Rating and traffic. Every price includes the outreach and one dofollow link added to an existing, indexed article on your topic. Each tier shows its traffic range, and we guarantee the bottom of that range on the day we deliver.
- Link added to an existing, indexed article
- 1 dofollow contextual link
- Your anchor text and URL
- Live URL report
Launch offer: prices above apply to orders placed by 31 December 2026. After that, the regular (struck-through) prices apply.
Buying for clients? White-label niche edits come with unbranded reports. Want links every month without ordering one by one? See managed link building.
Not sure how many niche edits you need? Count the websites linking to the pages that rank for your keyword, then compare with your own page: the gap is roughly how many you need. Book a free strategy call and we’ll work out the gap and the right tiers with you.

What we need from you
Your target URL
The page you want to rank. One link per niche edit.
Your anchor text
The words you want linked. Branded and partial-match anchors look most natural.
Your niche
Your industry and topic, so we only use articles that genuinely cover it.
Anything to avoid
Competitors, topics or sites you already have links from.
What do we check on every site?
Domain Rating is one number. Every site we use passes five checks, and every article must already be indexed and on your topic.
01 · Traffic trend
Stable or growing organic traffic in Ahrefs over the last 12 months. Sites in steady decline are excluded.
02 · Topical relevance
The site, and the article your link goes into, genuinely cover your niche.
03 · Editorial standards
No thin articles, AI filler or obvious link-placement formatting.
04 · Clean outbound links
No sites stuffed with unrelated outbound links or signs of link schemes.
05 · No “write for us” pages
Sites that sell links to anyone publicly carry less authority, so we leave them out.
What results have niche edits delivered?
Niche edits were the core of two recent campaigns for local businesses. Both also included other work, noted below, so the results aren’t from niche edits alone.
Organic traffic for a regional law firm in 9 months: 2,850 to 5,100 visits a month and 4 to 19 keywords in the top 10, from 82 niche edits and citations.
Read the case studyOrganic traffic for a pest control business in 90 days: 3,100 to 9,680 visits a month, from 53 niche edits and 31 guest posts after a toxic link clean-up.

What does a niche edit report look like?
Every order ends with a report listing each live link, the site’s DR and organic traffic, and the anchor used. Here’s what one looks like for a three-link order.
| Live link | DR | Traffic / mo | Tier | Meets spec | Anchor | Link |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| family-law-guide.example/… | 27 | 3,400 | DR 20+ | ✓ Yes | divorce lawyer in Denver | Dofollow |
| legal-help-weekly.example/… | 36 | 8,900 | DR 30+ | ✓ Yes | Acme Law | Dofollow |
| personal-finance-hub.example/… | 44 | 14,200 | DR 40+ | ✓ Yes | acmelaw.com | Dofollow |
Example only: the sites, client and numbers above are illustrative, not a real order. Traffic is Ahrefs’ organic estimate on the day we deliver.

Get started →What is a niche edit, and when should you use one?
A niche edit (also called a link insertion, contextual link or curated link) adds your link to an article that’s already published, indexed and on your topic. Because the article already exists, there’s no new content to wait for, and the page may already have links and readers of its own. Guest posts create a new article for your link instead.
| Niche edits | Guest posts | |
|---|---|---|
| Where your link goes | An existing, indexed article | A new article we write |
| Turnaround | 10–14 days | 2–4 weeks |
| Price from | $69 | $85 |
| Best for | Pages already on page 2–3 that need a push | New pages that need authority |
Most campaigns use both. Need new articles instead? See our guest posting services. For how niche edits work, what they cost across the market and how to spot risky ones, read our guide: what are niche edits?
Frequently asked questions
How long does a niche edit take?
Usually 10 to 14 days from order to live link, faster than a guest post because the article already exists. Higher DR tiers can take a little longer.
Do I approve the site before the link goes live?
No. You choose the DR tier, and we choose and vet the site and article. Instead of approval, every site is guaranteed to meet the DR tier, traffic minimum and niche you ordered on the day we deliver. If it doesn’t, we replace it or refund that link.
Are niche edits hacked links?
Not ours. Every niche edit is secured through manual outreach to the site owner, who agrees to add your link. We don’t use hacked sites, private blog networks or sites that publicly sell links to anyone.
Are niche edits the same as link insertions or contextual links?
Yes. Niche edits, link insertions, contextual links and curated links are different names for the same thing: your link added in context to an existing article. You don’t need to write anything; you only send your target URL and anchor text.
Niche edits or guest posts: which should I buy?
Niche edits suit pages that already rank on page 2 or 3 and need a push, because the link sits in content that’s already indexed. Guest posts suit new pages that need authority. Most campaigns use both.
Are the links dofollow and permanent?
Yes, every link is dofollow. If a link is removed or made nofollow within 6 months, we replace it free.
Do you offer white-label niche edits for agencies?
Yes. Agencies get unbranded reports with every live URL, DR and traffic figure, ready to send to clients. See white-label link building.
Are niche edits safe?
No paid link is completely risk-free: Google’s spam policies treat links bought to influence rankings as link spam. We keep the risk low by using only real sites with real traffic and relevant articles, no public “write for us” pages, and natural anchor variety.
