The indicative retainer (monthly fee) is broken down by 2 factors:
Below is a breakdown of what goes into a campaign. Not all items are included every month, as this is driven by allocating hours into the best areas to suit the budget.
Please note, these are the costs for backlinks analysis only, and not the removal costs. Backlink Removal costs are provided below.
Links Quantity (up to) | Analysis Cost | Time Frame (weeks) |
---|---|---|
200 | $ 290.00 | 4 |
500 | $ 700.00 | 5 |
1000 | $ 750.00 | 6 |
1500 | $ 1,100.00 | 8 |
3500 | $ 2,500.00 | 12 |
5500 | $ 3,900.00 | 17 |

We manually check each of the sites to determine just how egregious the links are. There isn't a science or formula to determine how terrible a link actually is, which makes this process a little harder and a lot more tedious. Still, here are our big red flags:
As the process of backlink removal happening too quickly has the risk of alerting Google to the website, and risking further harm, the process we go through to remove them is also very important. It's also important to try and manually remove as many links as possible, rather than simply disavowing. If Google feels not enough effort was put into the manual process, they may ignore the disavow completely, and as they provide no notification, it could be months before realising rankings were not improving.
Our process:
Make a list of all the bad backlinks and set priority which links should be removed first. We use the following criteria:
The last three specify to us which links we can remove in the easiest way.
There could be a possibility that we can have hundreds of links that we need to remove.
It may be tempting to do a mass exodus of every shady link. Don’t. Google is vague to tell you what specific links they noted as unnatural, so removing hundreds of links at once could end up causing you more harm than good. It is recommended to remove the links on the quantity that can be re-produced (i.e. if you remove 100 hundred links, also build 100 new links). We can replace the links with high quality websites.
Link removal Process: If the links are paid then we can ask the Webmaster to stop the renewal of our link at their websites otherwise we have to do process manually. We have to make contact with the Webmaster of the website by either email or contact form. If the link will is not removed within 2-3 reminders then we submit these links for a disavow.
There is no set time frame for seeing recovery of a site that has a Google penalty. We've seen sites show signs of recovery ranging between 1- 6 months.
Please note, these are the costs for removal of the backlinks only, and not the analysis costs. Backlink Analysis costs are provided in the section above.
