Backlinked review

This review is based on Backlinked’s public pages and third-party ratings, checked on 4 October 2026. The rating out of 10 is the editor’s own judgement.

How it works

Backlinked is a German marketplace for paid placements. You register for free, search the catalogue and book a placement on a publisher’s site, or hand the work to Backlinked’s agency team. The company says it offers more than 100,000 publishing options, has published more than 60,000 articles and serves more than 3,000 customers.

The product list on the home page covers followed and nofollow backlinks, editorial articles, guest posts, forum links, link packages, brand mentions, business directory entries and SEO content. It also offers a free link discovery tool called Linkpilot and a reseller programme for agencies.

The operator is Pixelrein GmbH & Co. KG, at Friedrichstraße 34 in Bonn. The site says about 15 people work in the Bonn office and that support is open on working days from 9:00 to 17:00. The platform is for business customers only.

Pricing

Backlinked shows no prices on its home page. It says registration is free and advertises a best price guarantee, promising that you always buy at the lowest price. We could not find the conditions of that promise on the pages we read, so treat it as a marketing statement until you have seen them.

Without public prices you cannot compare Backlinked with other marketplaces before signing up. Our cost and budget guide explains what a fair price looks like, and the lesson on link building in Germany, Austria and Switzerland covers the price level in these markets.

Quality

Backlinked calls itself the largest off-page agency in the German-speaking region. That is its own claim and we have not checked it. The site names Semrush, Sistrix and Ahrefs as partners and lists SMX, OMT, SEO Campixx and BrightonSEO as events it sponsors.

A marketplace lists publishers and does not vouch for each one. Check real organic traffic, topic fit and the other advertisers a site links to before you book. Our guide on how to vet a publisher sets out the steps.

The guarantee

Section 18.1 of the terms says bookings are secured by the website operator for at least 12 months. If a placement is removed early without a valid reason, the terms point you to the website operator for a refund, and say that refunds from Backlinked itself are generally not possible. The terms also say Backlinked cannot guarantee business or revenue from the platform.

The home page says Backlinked makes sure every backlink booked is indexed by Google. We did not find that promise in the terms we read, so ask how it is honoured before relying on it. WhitePress promises 36 months, three times Backlinked’s term.

What public reviews say

Backlinked holds a Trustpilot score of 4.8 from 66 reviews, checked in October 2026, with 98 percent of them at five stars. No negative reviews were visible on the page we read. Its own site shows a Google rating of 4.8.
