Four steps, no hidden stages. Here's exactly what happens between requesting access and getting paid.
Tell us about the link-building work you already do — in-house, for agency clients, or through outreach. No portfolio required, just a clear picture of what you handle today.
Every application is reviewed individually against one bar: are you an active SEO professional who already sources or approves backlinks?
Browse open publishing opportunities across GEOs and submit placements as they fit your work. Nothing is assigned automatically — you choose.
Once a placement is confirmed live by the publisher, it's marked eligible and the commission is released — no invoicing back and forth.
A placement is eligible once it's live on the publisher's site, matches the brief you agreed to, and meets the publisher's standard editorial guidelines. Placements pulled, deindexed, or that don't match the agreed brief before confirmation aren't eligible for commission.
No. Freelancers, in-house employees, and agencies all apply the same way — what matters is that link-building work is already part of what you do.
Yes. Most partners use Zemvoq alongside their regular role or client work — it fits around placements you'd be sourcing anyway, not instead of them.
Unconfirmed placements simply don't generate a commission — there's no penalty for submitting one that doesn't go through. Confirmed and live is the only requirement.
