LinkDR

The service researches publishers, finds sites that fit your niche, collects contact details, and writes the outreach for you. You don't draft the emails or manage the follow-ups. That's the whole point. The trade-off is visibility: you see the opportunities it presents, not the full prospecting database behind them, and you never get to inspect the raw list of sites that got rejected before anything reached your approval queue.

LinkDR compares your backlink profile against competitors to surface the sites linking to them but not to you. It filters prospects by domain rating, traffic, and link type, then ranks them by relevance so you can decide what's worth pursuing. This is the part that answers the "where do I even start" question. No spreadsheet required.

There's a search tool for filtering domains by keyword, industry, country, domain rating, and traffic. Save the ones that look promising to a list for later. It's a lighter-weight research function than a full SEO suite, but it covers the basics for prospecting, and the domain rating filter is the one most people reach for first because it ties directly to the per-link pricing tiers you'll be choosing from when you place an order.

You can review every site before a placement goes ahead, or turn on auto-approval to let orders run without a check-in. That's a real trade-off. Manual review keeps you in control but adds a surcharge, so there's a direct cost for staying hands-on, while auto-approval is cheaper and faster but gives up some say over where links land.

Links are priced by the authority tier of the target site. Higher-DR tiers cost more per link, and the spread is wide, so a campaign's budget depends heavily on the mix you pick. Pick your mix. Watch the total. Even so, the tiering does give you room to spend small on volume and save bigger budgets for a few high-authority placements, which is a more honest setup than services that quote one flat rate for every link regardless of where it lands.

A standard article with automatic approval is the base package. Listicles and product reviews cost extra, and reviewing every site adds on top, so the headline per-link price you see quoted is rarely the number you actually pay once you've picked a format and decided whether to inspect each placement yourself. Know this upfront. Budget accordingly.

LinkDR can be driven from tools like Cursor, Grok, Claude, or Codex, and it exposes an MCP endpoint for research and order workflows. The idea is to place backlink orders from inside the tool you already use, without switching tabs or logging into yet another dashboard. It's a niche feature, but a genuinely useful one for teams that live in a chat-based workflow. Order links without leaving chat.
