FAQ

Common questions about HummingSEO.

Quick answers about verification, plans, and how backlink exchanges stay on track.

How does website verification work on HummingSEO?

You add your website and confirm ownership by placing a lightweight meta tag on your homepage. Verification happens before any exchange can be created, so every conversation starts with a confirmed site and a clear source website.

Is there a free plan on HummingSEO?

Yes. The Free plan costs nothing and includes up to 1 website, 20 conversations, and 20 backlink exchanges. Paid plans add more websites with unlimited conversations and exchanges.

How do I find relevant backlink partners?

Browse verified partner websites and filter by niche, website type, language, and relevance. Website profile details are visible in one scan so you can shortlist partners with genuine audience fit before reaching out.

What is the best backlink exchange platform?

The best platform is one that verifies website ownership before any exchange starts and tracks both links until publication. HummingSEO does both: domains are verified via homepage meta tag, Ahrefs Domain Rating is fetched automatically, and every placement is confirmed by the partner before the exchange completes.

How do backlink exchanges get tracked?

HummingSEO keeps the partner conversation and exchange details together, including agreed placements, anchor text, and publishing expectations. Both partners see exchange status from request through publication.
