Understanding SearchEye's Pricing Model

SearchEye optimizes publication prices by balancing collaboration requests with sales, ensuring the best value per placement.

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.

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.

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.

SearchEye employs a dynamic pricing model to optimize your offers for earned credits. Our system automatically adjusts pricing in real time to ensure fair value, allowing you to earn the appropriate number of credits for each Publication Offer.

Pricing is determined based on the following key factors:

This refers to how a brand is integrated into an article. From lowest brand exposure to highest brand exposure:

• Link – A basic hyperlink directing users to a specific resource on the brand's website, providing subtle exposure.

• Expert Quote – A verified expert from the brand contributes a brief quote (up to one paragraph), adding credibility and context to the article.

• Brand Mention – A more in-depth reference, including up to three paragraphs about the brand within a relevant article.

• Interview – A dedicated article featuring an in-depth interview with a verified expert from the brand, offering valuable insights and thought leadership.

• Press Release – A formal company announcement distributed to the media, designed to share news, updates, or product launches.

• Brand Feature – A comprehensive article entirely focused on the brand, highlighting its offerings, mission, and impact.

✅ Earn more: The more exposure that a brand earns in an article, the more SearchEye credits you earn as a publisher.

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 is a great proxy for how authoritative a site is.

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.

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.

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.

What is the difference between the SearchEye Pricing Model and the Custom Fee Model?

• The SearchEye Pricing Model dynamically adjusts pricing based on demand and site performance, maximizing overall earnings and exposure.

• The Custom Fee Model allows publishers to set a fixed price for each offer, providing full control over pricing but potentially limiting exposure.

How does the SearchEye Pricing Model determine the value of a publication offer?
The SearchEye model considers multiple factors, including:

• Brand Integration & Media Type (e.g., link, brand mention, press release)

• Article Type (new article vs. existing article edits)

• Domain Rating (DR) and Traffic (higher values earn more credits)

• Turnaround Time (faster publishing can earn bonus credits)

Which pricing model should I choose?

• If you’re new to SearchEye or want to maximize collaboration requests, the SearchEye Pricing Model is recommended.

• If you have a well-established pricing strategy, the Custom Fee Model may be a better fit.
