Pricing

Lede Press publishes five free pages each day. A free page that is ready after those five are filled waits in the free queue and goes live on a later day, in the order it joined. The homepage shows it on the day it goes live.

A $29 page does not enter that queue. It goes live the day it is ready. There is no daily cap on paid pages. The dofollow link, the public URL, and the listing are the same once either plan is live.

Every published page, free or $29, contains one link to the product URL you submitted. That anchor is dofollow. The HTML does not use rel="nofollow", rel="sponsored", or rel="ugc". The link text is a phrase that already appears in the article, and it is the only URL in the body.

The guarantee is the live page. After publish, open the URL and inspect the anchor. That is the record. If the link were ever changed, the change would be a correction on that same URL, not a private note.

Guaranteed describes the link we publish. It does not describe what a search engine will do with it. Lede Press does not promise a ranking, a traffic number, or a movement in domain rating. Search systems make that decision on their own.

This pass is on the $29 plan only. The free page is still an editorial article with the guaranteed dofollow link. It is edited for clarity and for that single link. It does not get the search and answer-engine pass described here.

SEO, search engine optimization, on this page means the article is structured so a crawler can tell what it is about without guessing. The title names the product. The summary says what the product does. The headings split the page into sections. The dofollow link sits in a sentence about the product, on the first use of the agreed phrase.

GEO, generative engine optimization, is the same article written so an answer engine can quote it. The opening states what the product is, who it is for, and where the link goes, in complete sentences. Answer engines cite pages that already contain the answer. A logo in a directory does not. A $29 article on Lede Press is edited until it does.

The optimization is editing. It is not a promise that Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, or any other system will rank or cite the page. The thing you can check is the article itself: the title, the opening, the headings, and the dofollow link.

This is on the $29 plan only. When that article goes live, Lede Press publishes one Pinterest pin about it. The pin uses the article title, describes the product in the pin text, and links to the article URL on https://ledepress.com. One paid page, one pin.

The pin is a second public place that points at the article. People who find the pin land on the page, and the page is where the dofollow backlink lives. The pin does not replace that link, and it is not a second dofollow from Pinterest to your product. Pinterest decides how its own links are treated. The backlink you are buying is the anchor inside the Lede Press article.

The free plan does not include a pin. If a $29 article is later taken down, the pin is removed or updated with it.

The free page goes live when your site shows this badge, linking to Lede Press. A footer or the product page is a normal place for it. Leave it up while the Lede Press page is live. The $29 page does not ask for it.

A directory listing is a logo, a name, and a link in a catalog. The page has nothing to read, so the link has no sentence around it, and an answer engine has nothing to quote. A Lede Press page is an article. The homepage is the index of those articles.

The longer comparison is on editorial backlinks.

An SEO agency commonly quotes $500 to $1,000 for one editorial backlink. The page usually lives on a site you do not operate, and the URL can be hard to inspect. Lede Press is the publisher. The article, the dofollow link, and, on the $29 plan, the Pinterest pin are all public on the day the page goes live.

You are paying for that page, not for a ranking report. Send the product from the submit page.
