The Trust Agency

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I got frustrated working with link building agencies. Every time, it was the same experience: you hand over your budget, they disappear for a few weeks, and then you get a spreadsheet of placements you never approved on sites you've never heard of. Zero transparency, zero control. I kept thinking—why can't I just see the full inventory and pick the sites myself? I know my niche, I know what DR and traffic profile I need, I know my budget. Just show me the options. What problem were you trying to solve? Link building has a trust problem. Agencies guard their publisher lists like trade secrets, which makes sense for them but terrible for clients. You're essentially buying blind. And the markup? Often 3-4x what they're actually paying. I wanted to flip that model: give clients direct access to the full portfolio, transparent metrics, tiered pricing based on actual site quality—and let them choose. No middleman decisions, no mystery placements. We started with around 17,000 publishers. Now we're at 100,000+ across virtually every niche and geography. The biggest lesson was building out compliance expertise for tricky verticals—health, supplements, fintech—where most agencies won't touch you. That became a real differentiator.
