When adding a Publication Offer or Upcoming PR Opportunity to SearchEye, you'll be prompted to specify the number of credits you'd like to earn for each successful placement. We've taken the guess work out of this.
Select Your Pricing Option
SearchEye provides two pricing options:
SearchEye Model: This dynamic model sets the optimal price for your offer, maximizing your earnings while attracting a high volume of collaboration requests.
Custom Fee: Set the minimum amount you'd like to earn for each offer. You can also set it to $0 if you're not looking to earn credits from the offer.
Which pricing option is best for you?
| SearchEye Pricing Model | Custom Fee Model |
Consistency | Pricing consistent with current market rates | May be inconsistent (above/below) with current market rates |
Updates | Automatically updates based on site improvements | Manual updates required |
Optimization | Maximizes credits earned (total) | Maximizes credits earned (per placement) |
Exposure | Maximum Exposure on marketplace | Reduced exposure on marketplace |
The Custom Fee Model is best for those who understand their pricing and unit economics (i.e. Newspapers and Media Production Companies).
The SearchEye Pricing Model is great for those getting started on the platform and are ready to start receiving collaboration requests.
The right strategy is ultimately the one that's best for YOUR business.
Understanding the SearchEye Model
We'll automatically price your offer to optimize for earned SearchEye credits.
Pricing is adjusted in real-time for fair value, ensuring you are earning the right number of credits for each Publication Offer. We take into consideration:
Brand Integration
This refers to how a brand is integrated into an article. From lowest brand exposure to highest brand exposure:
Link: a simple link that directs the user to a specific resource on the Brand's site
Expert Quote: a quote from a verified expert at Brand's site that provides more context and information about a specific piece of information (up to 1 paragraph)
Brand Mention: up to 3 paragraphs about the brand inside of an article
Interview: an article dedicated to interviewing a verified expert at Brand's site
Full Feature: an article fully dedicated to Brand's site (or specific product)
✅ Earn more: The more exposure that a brand earns in an article, the more SearchEye credits you earn as a publisher.
Article Type
This refers to the types of article edits you're open to:
New Article: Write a new article (by default, SearchEye creates) on the Publication website.
Existing Article: Edits to an existing article (already published content) on the Publication website.
✅ Earn more: Brands pay a 10-20% premium for New Articles. We recommend both options to maximize earnings.
Domain Rating (DR)
Domain Rating is a great proxy for how authoritative a site is.
Measurement | AHREFs |
Impact on Pricing Model | ⬆️ Higher DR = More Credits |
Many of our publications choose to use their SearchEye credits for more digital PR and link-building. This increases their Domain Rating, increases the number of credits they earn and increases the amount of exposure (and requests) they receive.
Traffic

Type of Business
SearchEye uses advanced Machine Learning to classify the type of business you have. Generally, an eCommerce site is more valuable than a pure content website.
Here's a list of the types of businesses we support:
The type of business can impact the overall credits paid out to publishers, ranging from -5% to +15%.
Turnaround Time Bonuses for SearchEye Model
By default, we offer a range of earnings for each successful placement on your website.
If you choose the SearchEye model, you’ll also be eligible for additional bonuses based on turnaround time, which is calculated from when the content is sent to you until the article goes live. Please note that these bonuses apply to payouts processed through our system.
Turnaround Time | Bonus Credits |
Less than 48 hours | 15% |
Less than 72 hours | 10% |
Less than 7 days | 5% |
Understanding the Custom Fee Model
The Custom Fee Model is more simplistic. You provide the exact fee you'd like to receive for each publication offer (e.g., Brand Mention in a New Article). This model is ideal for those who have a clear understanding of their pricing and unit economics.
