## What is Linkova?

Linkova (brand name: Linkova; website: linkova.com) is a link marketplace for
agencies and in-house marketing teams. It shows vetted publishers with live listing
prices (no agency PDF markup), flags placements priced below the market median, and
includes Scout (AI coworker) and LinkRadar (buyable competitor-gap opportunities).
Article writing and content approval are included with placements. Outreach is handled
by Linkova — buyers do not cold-email publishers. Legal entity: WEBBYWOLF INNOVATIONS.

## Why use Linkova?

- See the full catalog and live price before talking to anyone
- Market median beside each listing (66% of catalog currently under median)
- Scout + LinkRadar included; no subscription
- Listing price + 1.9% service fee on its own line

## Who is it for?

Agencies, freelancers, and in-house SEO/marketing teams. One project per client for multi-brand work.

## How does it work?

1. Find — Marketplace filters, Scout brief, or LinkRadar gaps
2. Price — cart shows listing price + 1.9%
3. Approve — Linkova writes the article; buyer approves
4. Live — Linkova handles outreach; live URL on the order

- [How to find backlink opportunities without paying for a tool](https://linkova.com/blog/find-backlink-opportunities-free): Most link prospecting advice assumes you already pay for Ahrefs.

Somewhere in the last four years, someone bought links. Here is a calm order of operations — and why disavow belongs at the end, not the beginning.
- [What backlinks actually cost in 2026](https://linkova.com/blog/what-backlinks-actually-cost): Almost every published answer to this question is a survey of agencies quoting their own rate card. These numbers come from a catalogue of 225,872 publishers with live prices, read on 29 July 2026.
