Paid Collaborations

Paid Collaborations: track every paid placement

Paid Collaborations records each paid placement with the vendor, cost, payment status and reference, then checks that the link stays live.

Free plan: 20 links, 2 clients, 2 projects. Paid plans from $29/mo.

Comparison of tracking paid collaborations work by hand versus with Paid Collaborations in SEOENV

When you buy a placement, the deal usually lives in a chat, the invoice in an inbox and the link in a sheet. Paid Collaborations keeps the vendor, the cost, the payment status, the reference and the link in one record.

Because the link is checked like every other link, you can confirm it is live and see its type before you pay. Paid collaborations also feed the Invoice Generator and the ROI Calculator, so the same record does three jobs.

Paid Collaborations does not work alone. It shares data with Invoice Generator, which handles invoices from paid collaborations, exported as PDF; ROI Calculator, which handles spend versus link value and exchange savings; and Partners, which handles contacts, terms and every deal with each partner. Because every module writes to the same account, a link you log once can be checked, reported on and analysed without retyping it.

How to record paid collaborations properly

When you log paid collaborations, record how each link is marked. Google asks that paid links be qualified with rel=”sponsored” or nofollow, so the Dofollow or Nofollow type on each record matters.
