Every other agency marks up the editor price and pockets the difference. We don't. You see the real editor invoice. You pay them directly. We charge a flat service fee and deliver 20–30 niche-relevant placements per month — with a 12-month replacement warranty.
When you buy a link on WhitePress, FatJoe, or The Hoth for $500 — the editor sees $150–200. The platform keeps the rest. Nobody tells you this. We built our entire model around removing that gap.
With The Digital Battalion, you see the editor's real invoice and pay them directly. Our flat fee covers the entire operation — prospecting, outreach, content, negotiation, and reporting. Nothing hidden.

Traditional link-building campaigns can bundle publisher costs into agency pricing. Our model gives you clearer visibility into placement costs and campaign spending
We focus on finding publishers that make sense for your industry and campaign rather than simply chasing a high number of placements.

We understand your industry, target pages, link goals, and preferred publisher criteria.
We identify relevant publishers, vet opportunities, and conduct manual outreach.
Once approved, placements are coordinated and reported with clear publisher information and costs.
You pay us for the operation. You pay editors their real rate directly. The more links you need, the higher the tier — not the per-link markup.
All plans require a 3-month minimum. White label available on Growth and Scale. Link warranty: 12 months from placement date per link.
Most agencies send a spreadsheet with URLs and call it a report. Ours gives you total clarity — because when you pay editor invoices directly, you deserve to see exactly what happened, when it happened, and how long it's guaranteed.
Every live link in your report includes the exact timestamp it went live on the publisher's site — fully documented and verified.
You receive direct copies of all editor invoices — real amounts, real payees, with zero hidden markups added.
Each placement tracks its warranty expiration date. If a link drops within 12 months, we replace it at no extra cost.
Building an in-house outreach operation means hiring an Outreach Manager, a Content Writer, a Prospecting Specialist, and an SEO Analyst — then managing all of them. That's $10,000/month in salaries before a single link is placed.
With The Digital Battalion, you get all of those roles — fully operational, experienced, and dedicated to your campaign — for a flat monthly fee. No recruitment, no onboarding, no sick days, no turnover.
We only pitch publishers that are topically relevant to your industry. No generic DA-chasing on unrelated sites. Every link should pass a manual Google review.
Editor invoices are in your name. You pay them directly. If you ever leave us, your publisher relationships — and every invoice record — stay with you.
Industry standard is 30–90 days. Ours is 12 months. If any link is removed or nofollowed in that window, we replace it free or refund the editor fee.
Before we send a single outreach email, you review and approve every site on the list. You're not buying a mystery box — you know exactly where your links are going.
Every link in your monthly report includes the exact date and time it went live — not just the URL. Useful for your own reporting, your clients, and warranty tracking.
Running link building for your own clients? We become your silent outreach team. Reports come white-labeled with your branding — your clients never know we exist.
Most platforms charge 200%–300% markups on top of editor costs. We charge a flat agency service fee for prospecting, outreach, and management, while you pay the publisher's exact editor invoice directly at cost.
Every placement is guaranteed for 12 months. If a published link is removed, set to nofollow, or modified within 12 months, our team will restore it or replace it free of charge.
No. Our native English content team writes placement-ready guest posts and link insertion snippets aligned with publisher requirements. However, if you prefer to supply your own content, we can use that too.
You have 100% pre-approval control. Before any outreach or publication begins, we send you a list of target websites, metrics (DR, organic traffic), and anchor text for your review and sign-off.
Yes. Our Growth and Scale plans include unbranded reporting dashboards, allowing SEO agencies to deliver transparent backlink reports directly to their clients under their own branding.
Reports include live URL placements, target domain DR, organic traffic metrics, exact publication dates, anchor text, and verified publisher invoice receipts.
Our standard outreach campaigns operate on a flexible 3-month initial commitment to allow enough time for domain vetting, editorial pitching, indexation, and initial ranking movement.
