LinkGathering is a link-building provider at linkgathering.com. It sells managed outreach campaigns with a fixed monthly placement quota, single editorial placements from its own marketplace, and standalone local link building with a three-placement minimum. Its named services are managed link building, enterprise link building, marketplace placements, guest posting, local link building, digital PR, content marketing, and white-label SEO.
The company describes a managed model built on audit, an approved brief, outreach, drafting, placement and monthly reporting, with a named account lead and Slack contact. The buyer approves the publisher, anchor text and content before anything is pitched or submitted, and local campaigns pick prospects per metro with market-by-market reporting. The service pages promise six to eight placements a month on the standard managed tier and twelve to twenty on Enterprise, with a twelve-month replacement promise on removed links.
The governing Terms qualify those promises: the signed statement of work prevails, monthly work is billed in advance, projects are split half on signing and half on delivery, completed work is generally non-refundable with shortfall made up then credited, and either side can end monthly work on thirty days' notice at the cycle end. The About page names Marko Ristic and Predrag Jovanović as co-founders with a Serbia-based team; no contracting entity or founding year is verified.

LinkGathering scored 63.2 of 100 under M1.3. The scoring run date is 5 September 2026. Evidence was admitted through 2026-09-05. This page shows 11 sources.
LinkGathering sells managed editorial outreach alongside single placements from its own marketplace. Managed work runs through an audit, an approved brief, outreach and drafting, and the buyer signs off the publisher, anchor text and content before anything is pitched or submitted. The service pages promise six to eight placements a month on the standard managed tier and twelve to twenty on Enterprise, with a named account lead, Slack contact and monthly reports carrying live URLs, anchors and indexing status. A twelve-month replacement promise covers removed links, with a refund for marketplace placements where no suitable replacement exists.
Ask for a scoped quote before budgeting: the current price could not be confirmed, and the Terms allow quotes in dollars, pounds or euros plus tax. The governing Terms prevail where the pages differ. One section promises six to eight placements a month while another says four to six; the homepage describes invoicing after the report while the Terms bill monthly in advance; seven-day refund headers sit beside Terms that exclude refunds on completed work. The contact page claims 2013 registration; that year is the company's own claim.

How the position is calculated: on each eligible ranking, rated providers are ordered by Service Fit Score only. That order is converted to a 0–100 value, and the values are averaged equally across the company's appearances. Rankings that do not include the company are omitted from the average.
Equal Service Fit Scores share the average of the positions they cover. A gap under 0.5 points is a tie: shared rank, alphabetical order, no hidden tie-breaker.
Each fact below comes from a primary source, such as the company's own pages or a public register, and was checked on 2026-09-05.
Named operators
The About page names Marko Ristic as CEO and co-founder and Predrag Jovanović as COO and co-founder, with four further specialists across outreach, link building, SEO and software, and places the team in Novi Sad, Belgrade and Serbia.
Contracting entity
The contracting entity is unpublished. The contact page claims LinkGathering LLC without a registration number, and the Terms say the full address, registration number and VAT identifier are supplied with the statement of work and invoices or on request.

In the company's terms
The service pages promise a twelve-month replacement on removed links with replacement within thirty days on managed work, a refund for marketplace placements where no suitable replacement exists, and a seven-day refund on publisher non-delivery. The governing Terms instead provide a thirty-day make-up then credit for contracted shortfalls, exclude refunds on completed work while refunding unstarted prepaid months, and require thirty days' notice to end monthly work at the cycle end.

Pricing
Request a current quote; the payable amount could not be confirmed. The Terms allow quotes in US dollars, pounds or euros with applicable taxes extra, and the broader pricing page describes full-stack audit, implementation and retainer tiers whose scope differs from the managed link-building quota.
