Proof of delivery your client can open
Give every client a page that shows the links you built are still live.
Link building is the one thing you deliver that a client has no way to check. Each client gets their own read only page, refreshed by daily checks, showing every placement you built for them and where it stands today.
Five links free while you look around. Your client opens their page from a link, with no account at their end.
Clients renew the work they can see.
A client can read a blog post. They can watch a keyword move. Link building sits outside all of that, as a list of URLs on a spreadsheet they have no way to verify. Six months in, the invoice is the clearest part of the service they receive, and it starts to feel like the whole of it. That is the month they begin asking what they are paying for.
A page they can open changes the shape of that conversation. Every placement you delivered, its state today, the date it was last checked, and a dated record of what happened to the ones that changed. The work becomes something they can look at on a Tuesday afternoon, on their own, and the answer to what they are paying for is already sitting in their browser.
Every client project carries a read only share link showing each placement you built for them and where it stands today. They can check it at eleven on a Sunday night without emailing anyone, and what they find is work that held.
When a link you bought through a middleman is removed, stripped of its value, or quietly rewritten, the alert reaches you that week with the raw code from before and after and the date it changed. You forward that record and ask for the replacement holding evidence rather than a recollection.
At renewal you can walk the client through what was delivered, what has held since, and what you replaced the moment it degraded. A client who watched you catch a dead placement in March already knows what the retainer buys.
On the Agency tier the client pages and the exported reports carry your branding. The monitoring reads as one more part of your service, which is exactly what it is.
Middlemen and vendors
Your vendor sold the link. You are the one the client calls.
A placement bought through a middleman can go dark, lose its value, or have its anchor rewritten months after the invoice cleared. Until somebody looks, that link sits on your report reading as healthy, and the loss lands on your side of the table.
Daily checks put a date on it. You raise it holding the original code, the current code, and the day it changed, which gives the vendor something to act on instead of a disagreement about what was delivered.
The other page on this site
Yes, we also sell this to your clients.
There is a page on this site written for the companies who buy link building, and it tells them to verify what they paid for. You would have found it in the nav within a minute, so here it is in plain terms.
Verification is arriving in this market either way. The open question is who introduces it. If a client runs their own scan and finds a placement gone, you are answering a surprise you should have raised first, and every link on that report is suddenly in question. If the same finding arrives inside your monthly report with a replacement already requested from the vendor, you are the agency that caught it before anyone had to ask.
The agency that adopts first owns the frame. The page carries your branding, the alerts land in your inbox before they land anywhere else, and the client hears about link decay from the person already fixing it. Good agencies tend to like this part, because they have been replacing dead placements for years with no clean way to show it.
One seat covers every client you carry.
Every plan checks links the same way. The plans differ on how many links you watch and how often we look.

Questions agencies ask.
None of my clients have asked me for this.
Clients rarely ask for proof by name. They ask what they are paying for, usually around month six, and that question lands very differently when the answer is a page they can open than when it is a spreadsheet you export. The agencies buying this are the ones who would rather answer it a month early.
How do you know a link is really gone?
We read the host page the way a visitor does and store the raw code of the placement, then compare it every day. Removal, a nofollow tag added, an edited anchor, a changed destination, and a dead page each show up as a dated before and after you can forward to whoever sold you the link. The Google index status of the host page is rechecked every 10 to 14 days.
Is this a tool cost I absorb or one I pass on?
Agency is $49 a month for 500 links spread across as many client projects as you carry, so the cost per client falls as you add them. Either way you can watch five links free first and decide once you have seen a month of results.
We already track this in a spreadsheet. Can this wait a quarter?
A spreadsheet records what was built, and it updates whenever somebody remembers to check. The evidence you will want in six months is the raw code of a placement as it stood the day it went live, and that record only exists if something was watching from the start. Loading a client's links takes a few minutes, and the first scan sets the baseline that day.
We run a lot of clients and buy from several vendors. Does the model fit?
One project per client, each with its own website, its own link set, and its own share link, with unlimited projects on the Agency tier. Your 500 links spread across those projects however you like, and where a link came from makes no difference to how it is checked.
Load your last delivery and see what your client would see.
Start with five links free. Add the first client project when an alert tells you something you would have missed.
