Vendor Guide
Everything you need to get approved, list your domains, fulfill orders, and receive payment.
How to become a vendor
From application to your first active listing in a few straightforward steps. Here's what to expect.
Submit your vendor application
Visit lseo.com/lseo-link-building-ai/vendor-signin and fill out the application form with your name, business name, and email. Your application is sent directly to the LSEO team for review.
Wait for approval
After submitting, you'll see a confirmation screen letting you know your application is under review. You'll receive an email as soon as the LSEO team approves your account; no need to follow up.
Sign in to your vendor dashboard
Once approved, you'll get a confirmation email. From that point, signing in is always the same; enter your email at vendor-signin, receive a one-time code, and you're in. No password needed.
Add your PayPal email for payouts
On the Overview tab of your dashboard, find the Payout Info section and enter the PayPal email address where you'd like to receive payments. This can be updated at any time.
Upload your domain listings
Switch to the Domains tab and upload a CSV file containing your domain portfolio. Each row becomes a browsable listing. See the tab for the full format guide.
Dashboard overview
Your vendor dashboard has three main sections.
Earnings & Settings
Your payout status, active listing count, total earnings, and payout info settings.
Order Management
All orders placed for your domains; view details, submit live URLs, and track status.
Listings
Manage your active listings, update pricing, and upload new domains via CSV.
Adding your domains
Listings are uploaded via CSV from the Domains tab of your dashboard. You can submit one CSV at a time and re-upload at any point to add more domains.
Required and optional columns
Your CSV needs at minimum the two required columns. All others are optional but strongly recommended; they improve visibility in buyer search filters and increase order volume.
| Column | Required? | Accepted Aliases | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| domain | Required | domain | Domain name only; no http/https. e.g. example.com |
| vendor_price | Required | vendor_price, price, cost | Your net price. Numbers only, no $ sign. The buyer-facing price is calculated by the platform. |
| content_type | Optional | content_type, type, placement_type | Accepted values: guest post, niche edit, homepage link, sitewide link |
| turnaround_days | Optional | turnaround_days, turnaround, days | Number of days to fulfill. Defaults to 14 if not provided. |
| da | Optional | da, domain_authority | Moz Domain Authority (0–100). May be enriched automatically if omitted. |
| monthly_traffic | Optional | monthly_traffic, traffic | Estimated monthly organic visits. Numbers only. |
| niche | Optional | niche, category, industry | Primary niche. e.g. Health, Finance, Technology |
| sub_niche | Optional | sub_niche, subcategory | More specific sub-category. e.g. Personal Finance, Fitness |

Guest Post
New article written and published on your site with a contextual link.

Uploading a large domain portfolio
What happens with large CSV submissions
If your CSV exceeds a certain number of rows, the file is received and queued for review by the LSEO team rather than being processed instantly. You'll see a "Submission received" confirmation on screen, and your listings will appear in the Domains tab once the team completes the import.
- You'll receive an email confirmation when the batch is received.
- The LSEO team will review and process your submissions.
- Your listings will appear in the Domains tab once onboarding is complete.

Pricing and the competitive model
The marketplace uses a competitive pricing model designed to surface the most relevant and well-priced listing for any given domain.
Your vendor price
The price you set in your CSV; the amount you want to receive for each placement. This is your net, before any platform fee is added on top.
The buyer-facing price
The price buyers see on the marketplace includes a platform fee calculated on top of your vendor price. You don't set this number; the platform handles it automatically.
One domain, one active listing
How competition works
Each domain can only have one active listing on the marketplace at a time. If another vendor has already listed a domain you're submitting, your entry for that domain will be skipped.
Listings are not locked permanently to a single vendor. The marketplace re-evaluates pricing whenever new uploads are processed. If a competing vendor submits the same domain at a lower price, your listing for that domain may be moved to outpriced status and replaced by theirs. You'll receive an email notification if this happens.
Understanding your listing status
Adjusting pricing after upload
You can update pricing at any time
Individual domain prices can be updated directly from the Domains tab of your vendor dashboard. Find the listing you want to adjust, click the edit control, update the vendor price, and save. The buyer-facing price will recalculate automatically and the competitive pricing system will re-evaluate your standing for that domain.
This is the primary way to compete for domains where you've been outpriced; reduce your vendor price below the competing listing's price to regain the active slot.
What influences buyer decisions
Key factors buyers filter by
- Domain Authority (DA); Buyers actively filter by DA range. Higher DA commands higher pricing.
- Monthly traffic; Demonstrated organic traffic is a strong trust signal and supports premium pricing.
- Niche relevance; Buyers search for specific industries. Accurate niche and sub-niche data increases visibility.
- Content type; Guest posts typically carry higher prices than niche edits due to the additional content work required.
- Turnaround time; Faster delivery is a competitive differentiator, especially for buyers working to deadlines.
How orders work
When a buyer places an order for one of your domains, you're notified immediately and the order appears in your dashboard. Here's the full lifecycle.
Order notification email
You'll receive an email as soon as a buyer's payment is confirmed. The email includes the target URL, anchor text, content notes, placement type, and the expected turnaround window.
Review order details in your dashboard
Sign in to your vendor dashboard at lseo.com/lseo-link-building-ai/vendor-signin and navigate to the Orders tab. Open the order to see all requirements; target URL, anchor text, any content notes, and your agreed-upon turnaround time.
Fulfill the order
Complete the placement according to the order type; publish the guest post, insert the niche edit, or place the link as specified. Confirm the live page contains the exact link to the buyer's target URL before submitting.
Submit the live URL
Back in the Orders tab, open the order and enter the live URL; the specific page where the link has been placed. This marks the order as complete and triggers the payout process.
Payout queued
Once the order is marked complete, your earnings are queued for payout by the LSEO team. You'll receive an email confirmation when your payment has been sent.
What the buyer provides
| Field | Always present? | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Target URL | Always | The URL on the buyer's site that the link must point to |
| Anchor Text | Sometimes | The exact text to hyperlink. If blank, use a natural variation or the brand name. |
| Target Keyword | Sometimes | The keyword the buyer is targeting; useful context for writing guest posts |
| Content Notes | Sometimes | Additional instructions from the buyer; topic preferences, formatting notes, dos/don'ts |
