In short

Check the quote.See the two inputs.

This is a reference table, not a calculator. It lists seven indicative ranges excluding VAT so you can compare link prices and quantities. The figures are neither a study average nor an offer for your own programme.

What does a link-building quote buy, and why is a typical monthly range not a calculated minimum?

Two inputs make a comparison

The page’s e-commerce example is €120 × 6 = €720 and €350 × 16 = €5,600. Its typical e-commerce monthly range is separately listed as €1,000 to €5,600. The lower endpoints are not automatically multiplied to produce that typical range. Ask a supplier for both quantity and price.

Keep the seven source ranges

The source values cover local services, e-commerce, SaaS, B2B, recruitment, property and legal/finance. All are indicative and exclude VAT. They are not quotes, not study averages and not a published export of TheSEO’s projects since 2017.

Budget follows scope, not a promise

Niche, competition and the number of target pages influence the budget. Doing outreach yourself costs research and writing time. An agency becomes useful when that work no longer fits; the page does not establish a fixed package price or minimum contract for your project.

No return forecast from this table

The English source includes broad timing and link-lifetime claims but supplies no measured dataset for them. They are not carried forward as a delivery promise. A return calculation still needs your margin, conversion and customer value; indicative placement prices cannot establish your break-even date.

Discuss the actual placements

The source describes LinkLoop for prospecting, outreach and monitoring, while withholding network performance figures because the network is young. This reference page does not open a working account or launch a campaign. Use the existing call or service link to discuss a concrete scope.
