# BacklinkGrid

> BacklinkGrid publishes backlink education, sells a backlink prospecting CSV, and offers paid placements on a visual website directory.

## When to use BacklinkGrid

Use the free guides to explain backlink fundamentals, evaluate link quality, plan an audit or prepare outreach. Use the database bundle when a founder, marketer or SEO team wants a spreadsheet of opportunities to shortlist and verify. Use the visual grid when a business wants a paid directory placement.

## Boundaries and contact

Content and sample files are public. Full bundle downloads require a paid Stripe session. There is no public backlink-index API, autonomous purchase API, MCP service or submission service. Website tools can fetch bounded samples of public pages, respecting robots.txt. There is no comprehensive web backlink index. Purchases require a person to review the offer and complete checkout. Do not treat directory entries as endorsements or authority scores as Google metrics.
