Stellar SEO review
Agency · United States, city not published on the site · Since 2012
Stellar SEO publishes something almost nobody else does: the exact authority composition of each retainer. Its entry package is not eight links, it is six at DR 30+ and two at DR 40+, itemised.
That sounds like a small distinction and is not. Most suppliers publish an average, which lets a batch of low-authority placements hide behind one good one. An itemised split cannot be gamed the same way, and it lets a buyer work out what they are actually getting before the first invoice.
Who Stellar SEO is for
Buyers who want a predictable monthly volume with a known authority mix, and who are comparing packages rather than negotiating campaigns.
The hourly option for custom outreach is unusual and suits a buyer with a specific target list rather than a volume target.
Strengths and limits
What it does well
- Publishes the authority composition of each package, not just a link count or an average
- A traffic floor of 1,000 monthly organic visits on placement sites, which most suppliers do not commit to
- Bills custom outreach hourly, which is rare and suits a specific target list
- Sells nothing but link acquisition, including a white-label tier for agencies
Where it falls short
- Says nothing about whether publishers are paid. Its commitment to no sponsored tags is about markup, not payment
- Does not commit to showing the target sites before placement
- Publishes no head office on its own site, only a country
- The 27-point quality check is named but its criteria are not published
Stellar SEO pricing
Foundation Builder is $2,500 a month for eight links, itemised as six at DR 30+ and two at DR 40+. Growth Accelerator is $5,000 for sixteen, at ten DR 30+, five DR 40+ and one DR 50+. Pay-per-link guest posts and niche edits are sold separately with no contract.
The traffic floor is the underrated part: 1,000 monthly organic visits on every placement site, alongside a 750-word content minimum. Several suppliers here publish an authority band with no traffic condition at all, which is the gap that makes prices incomparable.
What it says about paying publishers
Does not say either way
We found no statement on its site about whether it pays publishers for placements. That is the most common answer in this directory rather than an unusual one, and it is recorded as silence rather than treated as an admission of anything.
On target sites: does not say.
This records what Stellar SEO publishes about itself, read in September 2026. It is not an assessment of what the company does, and a published denial is not proof of one either.
Verdict
A strong option if you want a known quantity each month and the ability to check what you got against what was promised. The itemised authority split and the published traffic floor together make this one of the more auditable packages in this directory.
The gap is disclosure. It does not commit to showing you the sites, and it says nothing about paying publishers, so on the two questions this directory treats as most important it is silent on one and quiet on the other.
Others worth a look
This is an independent review. Stellar SEO is not a client or a partner, we have no affiliate relationship with them, we earn nothing if you hire them, and nobody pays for placement in the directory. Prices were read from the company's own pages in September 2026 and change without notice.
