🇨🇦 Buy Backlinks in Canada: Pricing Guide

To research the Canadian link-building market, we analyzed 1.4M offers for 322K websites from 25 of the largest guest posting marketplaces and major link sellers worldwide.

From this data, we identified 86,529 offers for 16,950 websites that we classify as Canadian backlink inventory.

Then we looked deeper into publisher details and their offers to understand the inventory breakdown, publisher price ranges, real examples of offerings, and the guest posting marketplaces with the strongest selection of Canadian backlinks.

Let's dive in.

What counts as a Canadian backlink?

We categorize Canadian backlink inventory into two tiers: Core Canadian publishers with strong local signals, and Extended inventory with meaningful Canadian traffic.

3,004 1,612 12,334 Core Canadian 4,616 total Extended 13,946 total

Core Canadian inventory (4,616 publishers)

These are publishers with the strongest Canadian relevance signals:

  • 736 websites with a .ca domain
  • 1,990 websites where Canada is their #1 source of organic search traffic
  • 2,914 websites where Canada is their #1 source of total traffic

Some examples of .ca inventory publishers and their SEO metrics:

Extended inventory (12,334 additional publishers)

Beyond the core inventory, we identified 12,334 additional publishers that receive at least 1,000 visitors per month from Canada, based on Semrush data. These sites may not be Canada-focused, but they deliver meaningful Canadian traffic. A few examples:

punekarnews.in Business Check 63 48 3.3M 4.5K
fishgame.com Computers Check 39 26 9.8K 3.4K

Domain extension (.ca) and primary traffic source matter less than you might think. What actually drives backlink value is:

  • Topical relevance to your website
  • Absolute Canadian traffic (not percentage)

A high-authority tech blog from India with 5,000 Canadian visitors/month will often outperform a low-quality .ca site with 500 visitors in backlink value and usually costs less. The link equity flows to Canadian users regardless of where the publisher is based.

Total inventory: 16,950 publishers

Many domains qualify under more than one category. For example, a .ca domain may also rank as Canada's top organic traffic source.

This inventory size ranks Canada #12 in the global guest posting market.

Canadian backlinks prices

Core Canadian inventory has median guest posting price of $62 and an average of $205.

Here's a distribution of the inventory size, price ranges and median traffic you can expect from the typical Canadian publisher website in each pricing category:

Where to buy Canadian backlinks

We aggregate data from 25 major backlink marketplaces worldwide, making it easy to identify platforms with the largest inventory for any country.

For Canada, the top three are prnews.io (7,212 domains), bazoom.com (7,022 domains), and adsy.com (6,156 domains).

MarketplaceTotal.ca TLDTop OrganicTop Total1K+ Visitors
prnews.io 7,212 243 820 1,038 6,319
bazoom.com 7,022 237 955 842 6,216
adsy.com 6,156 247 669 923 5,325
Unique Total 12,363

However, many Canadian publishers are exclusive to exact marketplaces.

When we deduplicate across all three, the combined unique inventory is 12,363 domains - meaning 40% of publishers are exclusive to a single marketplace.

To maximize your options and get the best prices, you'd need accounts on all three platforms.

Alternatively, FatGrid provides access to inventory from all 25 marketplaces through a single account.

We handle the complexity of managing multiple platforms and offer a full refund guarantee - if a placement fails, you get 100% of your money back to your original payment method, not marketplace credits.

This matters because many platforms only refund to their internal balance or charge refund fees, effectively locking your funds.
