Authoritas Link Building

Authoritas Link Building is a web and API toolkit for SEO and PR teams to find prospects, organize outreach, and track link-building work. Users can locate niche influencers, view the websites they write for and their social profiles, then add prospects to a link-building CRM. Campaign tools support multiple campaigns, competitor link research, importing links, assigning tasks, and presenting results. The product describes monitoring both natural and paid links. Listed connections include Google Search Console, Google Analytics or Adobe Analytics, Google AdWords, Google Lighthouse API, Majestic, and OpenAI GPT-3 API. Authoritas says its SEO database covers more than 125 million commercial keywords across 50 countries, with backlink data from Majestic. The free SEO plan covers two websites, 1,000 keyword rank credits per month, and one user, and must be accessed at least once every 30 days to stay active. Paid plans start at £99/mo. Support includes a help centre, live chat during UK office hours, email, and weekday phone support from 08:00 to 18:00 UK time.

Authoritas Link Building brings contact discovery, campaign management, and link monitoring together for SEO and PR work. The free plan has tight user, site, and activity limits; paid plans start at £99/mo.

It is suited to SEO and PR teams managing prospect discovery, outreach, and link results. The company describes large ecommerce, multi-location, and multinational brands as a fit for its large-scale projects.

Authoritas Link Building is built for SEO and PR teams that need one workflow for finding publishers, coordinating outreach, and checking acquired links. It suits organisations running campaigns across multiple sites, especially larger ecommerce and multinational operations. Its strongest case is the breadth of its campaign and data tools; smaller teams must weigh that against restrictive free limits and a £99 monthly starting point.

Overview

The platform combines prospect discovery, campaign organisation, and monitoring for both natural and paid links. Users can identify niche influencers, see the websites they contribute to and their social profiles, then place prospects in a link-building CRM. Multiple campaigns, competitor-link research, imported links, task assignment, and results reporting make it useful for coordinated programmes rather than one-off outreach.

Authoritas connects Google Search Console, Google Analytics or Adobe Analytics, Google AdWords, Google Lighthouse API, Majestic, and the OpenAI GPT-3 API. Its SEO database spans more than 125 million commercial keywords in 50 countries, while Majestic supplies backlink data. That ecosystem is most valuable when these services already form part of a team's reporting stack; it is less compelling if all you need is a simple contact list.

Key features

Prospect discovery

Searching for relevant influencers, checking their publisher relationships and social profiles, and adding them directly to a CRM keeps research connected to execution. This is a practical advantage for teams managing many prospects or specialist niches, where disconnected spreadsheets quickly become difficult to maintain.

Campaign management

Multiple campaigns, competitor research, link imports, assignable tasks, and outcome reporting provide a shared operating layer for SEO and PR staff. Digital PR workflows and prospect discovery support the full path from target identification to demonstrating results, although the value rises with campaign volume and team coordination.

Placement monitoring

Tracking natural and paid links gives teams visibility after outreach succeeds. It is suited to programmes where maintaining a record of placements matters as much as winning them, rather than to buyers seeking only prospecting.

Pricing

Authoritas uses a freemium structure with a free trial. The Free plan costs £0.00 and allows two domains, 1,000 keyword-rank credits per month, and one user. It must be accessed at least once every 30 days to remain active, so it works for evaluation or very small programmes, not unattended monitoring.

Essential costs £99.00 per month, billed monthly, and covers five domains, 15,000 keyword-rank credits, and one user. It is the sensible entry tier for a solo specialist with several sites, but the single seat prevents genuine collaboration.

Expert is £459.00 per month, billed monthly, for 35 domains, 100,000 credits, and five users. This is the first plan that materially supports a team and a broad portfolio. Business costs £679.00 per month, billed monthly, and raises capacity to 75 domains and 300,000 credits, but lists only one user; it fits organisations needing very high domain and rank-credit allowances rather than a larger seat count. The cheaper tiers give up either scale, users, or both.

Platforms

Authoritas Link Building is offered through the web and an API. API access is useful for teams that need to connect campaign or reporting data to existing systems. Support includes a help centre, live chat during UK office hours, email, and phone support Monday to Friday from 08:00 to 18:00 UK time. Its privacy policy cautions that internet transmission carries security vulnerabilities and cannot guarantee absolute protection from third-party access.

Who it's for

Authoritas targets SEO teams at established brands and ecommerce businesses. Large ecommerce, multi-location, and multinational organisations are the clearest fit because domain, keyword-credit, and workflow capacity become more valuable as programmes expand. A freelancer or small business running occasional outreach is better served by a lower-cost tool with fewer operational commitments.

Verdict

Choose Authoritas Link Building when a professional SEO or PR operation needs prospect discovery, coordinated campaigns, and placement monitoring tied to broad international data. Look elsewhere if you have one small site, need several users at the entry price, or want inexpensive monitoring without a substantial keyword-credit commitment.
