Shortlist’s CEO, Dave Schneider, has bootstrapped more than a few businesses, growing them significantly from 0 to multimillion exits. Throughout this time, Dave has built a strong marketing team under his lead. After validating their strategies through multiple business cases, they decided to open their services to other businesses. However, they offer something different and much more custom than the typical agency model, and at a fair price. Instead of a detached approach where businesses rarely interact with their contractors, they get to have involved partners. By hand picking the best fit for their business from Shortlist’s specialists, they can personally build their own outsourced digital marketing “dream team”, but without the hefty price tag associated with typical agencies. Shortlist’s main bread and butter is white hat digital marketing. The Shortlist team has mastered their strategies and systems through multiple business successes, and can confidently replicate these for other clients. You can schedule a free strategy inquiry with a Shortlist consultant through a scheduler button on their website. The Shortlist team is strictly white hat, with no minimum orders, and a refund policy. Through years of building relationships when they were building links for their own businesses, the team has created a proprietary system for getting safe, quality websites for link building. There are 4 types of packages to choose from: guest posting, Quora, business listings, and a custom bundle. You can then choose from 3 differently-priced link building tiers or buy just what you need. You can also ask to get refunded for any link you don’t want. Something that sets Shortlist aside from other agencies is its very “un-agency” pricing model. It’s surprising how affordable it is for the quality of the team’s service. There are also no lock-in contracts, so you can purchase or terminate a service at your convenience. As for a refund policy, they do have one. On top of this, they have a slew of loyal, satisfied clients, so proof of reliability is never an issue. For guest posting, their packages include the article writing. 250 for a premium guest post with organic traffic of 1000, and $350 for a platinum guest post. Quora link building packages are priced at $79 per answer for a minimum order of 3 answers. For Premium, the price is at $60 for a minimum order of 7 answers. Business listings packages start with the Standard package at $249 for 50 links. The premium package is at $499 for 120 links, and the platinum package is at $750 for 200 links. Shortlist has full-time project managers that are always reachable. The team is also dispersed across various time zones so there’s usually someone available during business hours. For backlink service , it’s easy enough to schedule a team meeting.
