Outcome

Live marketplace, automated order flow, and a growing agency customer base.

A two-sided marketplace for premium backlinks: escrow, automated outreach, verified placement tracking, and Stripe Connect payouts to portal owners.

The problem: links negotiated over email

Agencies were negotiating placements manually over email and tracking them in spreadsheets, losing roughly 20% of the value to miscommunication — wrong anchor, wrong URL, placement that quietly disappeared a month later.

Link building is a supply chain problem wearing a marketing costume. Everything that goes wrong with it goes wrong at the handoff.

A two-sided marketplace with escrow

We built it as a proper marketplace: escrow so neither side is exposed, automated outreach in place of the email thread, and verified placement tracking so a link that vanishes is visible rather than assumed.

It launched with a curated catalogue of vetted high-DR portals, because a marketplace with no supply on day one is just a form.

Payouts make or break a marketplace

Stripe Connect handles payouts to portal owners. That is the part that quietly decides whether a two-sided marketplace survives: publishers who get paid predictably come back, and publishers who do not, do not.

The stack

Laravel with Inertia and React, PostgreSQL underneath, and Stripe Connect for the money movement.

Where it stands

The marketplace is live with automated order flow and a growing agency customer base. Built by Brigada.
