Quick Answer: How the ALT Placements Guarantee Works
ALT Placements provides a 30-Day Onboarding and Quality Guarantee, not a ranking results guarantee. SEO authority growth from continuous placements usually takes 60 to 90 days before ranking improvements show up in any measurable way, and that’s normal across the industry. The 30-day window is built around delivery and content quality, not search rankings. When you subscribe, your full plan placements get delivered at one placement per day during your initial delivery cycle. Starter completes initial delivery in 10 days, Growth in 30 days, Authority in 60 days, and Dominance in 120 days. Your monthly subscription payment keeps your placements in the network after initial delivery wraps up. Clients can cancel within 30 days and get a pro-rated refund on placements that haven’t been published yet, provided delivery, indexing, or content quality standards weren’t met. At the end of every initial delivery cycle, clients get one placement report with publication dates, indexing status, and a content snippet from each published article. Specific URLs stay private. That’s how we protect the integrity of the authority network.
Every guarantee on this page is built around three principles: structure, consistency, and controlled delivery. The network is private by design, so the guarantees are tied to what we can actually measure and what we control. Below is the full breakdown of how each guarantee works, how proof of placement is delivered, and how refunds get processed when they apply.
How Placement Delivery and Monthly Billing Work
ALT Placements runs on a monthly subscription model with a structured initial delivery cycle. Understanding how those two pieces fit together matters when you’re picking the right plan for your brand.
Initial Delivery
When you subscribe, your full plan placement count gets delivered into the network at a steady cadence of one placement per day. The length of your initial delivery cycle depends on the number of placements in your plan.
- Starter delivers 10 placements over 10 days
- Growth delivers 30 placements over 30 days
- Authority delivers 60 placements over 60 days
- Dominance delivers 120 placements over 120 days
This daily distribution model is intentional. Search engines and AI systems treat steady, gradual authority growth as a stronger trust signal than sudden bursts of new links. By publishing one placement per day across a curated network of niche industry domains, your authority profile builds in a way that looks natural, organic, and lines up with how legitimate brands earn coverage over time.
Monthly Billing and Maintenance
Your subscription is billed monthly throughout the duration of your account. Your monthly payment serves two purposes depending on where you are in the subscription:
During initial delivery, your monthly payments contribute toward the placements being published into the network on your behalf.
After initial delivery is complete, your monthly payment keeps all placements in the network and live. Active subscription is what keeps your placements active. If your subscription is cancelled, all placements get removed from the network.
This setup means your authority signals keep compounding over time. The longer your placements stay live, the stronger their cumulative effect on your search visibility, AI mentions, and ranking position.
Placement Reports
Your placement report is delivered at the end of your initial delivery cycle. The timing of your report depends on your plan length. Starter clients get their report on day 10. Growth clients get their report on day 30. Authority clients get their report on day 60. Dominance clients get their report on day 120.
30-Day Onboarding and Quality Guarantee
SEO authority growth from continuous placements usually takes 60 to 90 days before it translates into measurable ranking and traffic gains. That’s normal industry-wide and reflects how search engines and large language models digest new authority signals. So the ALT Placements 30-day guarantee is built around delivery and quality, not ranking outcomes.
Within your first 30 days from the start of your subscription, you can cancel and get a pro-rated refund on any placements not yet published if any of these conditions apply:
- We fail to publish placements on the daily cadence outlined in your access plan
- We fail to submit placements to our private indexing infrastructure
- Content delivered fails to meet our published quality standards, which include a 2,500 word minimum length, original writing, on-niche topical relevance, and professional editorial quality
Refunds are calculated against placements that haven’t been published yet at the time of cancellation. Anything already published, indexed, and documented is considered delivered and isn’t refundable. This setup protects both sides. Clients are protected from undelivered work. The network is protected from refund and keep arbitrage on completed placements.
How the 30-Day Window Applies to Each Plan
Because initial delivery cycle length varies by plan, the 30-day guarantee window covers a different portion of each plan’s deliverables.
For Starter, your full 10-day initial delivery wraps up well within the 30-day window. The guarantee covers any placements undelivered or below standard during that cycle.
For Growth, your full 30-day initial delivery aligns exactly with the guarantee window. The guarantee covers any placements undelivered or below standard during that cycle.
For Authority, the 30-day guarantee window covers the first half of your 60-day initial delivery. You get to evaluate the quality and consistency of the first 30 placements before the cycle continues to completion.
For Dominance, the 30-day guarantee window covers the first quarter of your 120-day initial delivery. You get to evaluate the quality and consistency of the first 30 placements before the cycle continues to completion.
This setup gives every client a real evaluation period regardless of plan size. Higher tier plans get a built-in proof phase before the full cycle plays out.
What This Guarantee Does Not Cover
The 30-day guarantee doesn’t cover ranking outcomes, traffic outcomes, or revenue outcomes. Those compound over the 60 to 90 days after placements get delivered, as authority signals build up across the network. Search engine algorithms, AI systems, and competitive shifts all influence how fast authority converts into rankings. No legitimate SEO provider, ALT Placements included, can guarantee a specific ranking position, traffic volume, or sales figure within 30 days.
What we can guarantee is that your placements go live on schedule, on quality, and get submitted for indexing. That’s what this guarantee is built around.
Proof of Placement Without Public URLs
To protect the integrity of the network, we don’t disclose specific placement URLs to clients. Public exposure of network domains leads to link abuse, scraping, and authority dilution, which weakens results for every brand using the network. Keeping the network private is what lets placements hold their authority value over time.
To prove placements have been published without revealing the host domains, ALT Placements sends one placement report at the end of your initial delivery cycle. The report is a single document covering all placements completed during initial delivery.
Each placement entry in the report includes:
- Publication date
- Indexing status and confirmation date
- Domain tier classification
- Topical category
- Anchor text used
- Target URL on your website
- Word count of the published article
- A content snippet from the published article showing your brand mention and anchor text in editorial context
The content snippet is roughly 100 to 150 words pulled from the article, with the words surrounding your brand mention and anchor text included. You get direct visual confirmation that the article exists, that it was professionally written, and that your brand is referenced naturally, all without exposing the host domain. The snippet system is the proof of work. The report is the deliverable.
Additional Guarantees
Network Access
Access to the network is capped to keep placement quality and ranking effectiveness intact. When capacity fills up for a niche or market, new clients may be placed on a waitlist until something opens up. This protects existing clients from over saturation within their market.
Placement Protection
All placements stay active as long as your subscription is maintained. If a domain in the network is retired or replaced, you’ll get an equal or stronger placement at no extra cost. Authority transfers as the network evolves.
No Long Term Contract
All access plans run on a simple month to month basis. You can cancel anytime. No long term contracts, no termination fees. Subscription has to stay active for placements to remain live in the network.
Network Integrity
Every domain in the network is picked for clean backlink profiles, niche relevance, and legitimate domain history. Domains that lose authority, develop spam signals, or stop meeting network standards get removed and replaced. That ongoing curation is what keeps the network strong over time.
Indexing Assurance
All placements get submitted to our private indexing infrastructure to speed up search engine and AI system discovery. If a placement fails to index within a reasonable period, it gets reinforced or replaced. Indexing status is documented in your placement report.
Placement Delivery
Placements are deployed on the daily cadence tied to your access plan. If placements are delayed for any reason, your initial delivery cycle gets extended until delivery wraps up. You never pay for placements that weren’t delivered.
Cancellation and Placement Removal
When you cancel, all placements tied to your account are pulled from the network. The network is private and centrally managed, so placement removal is enforced internally regardless of whether URLs were ever shared with the client. This keeps the network protected from refund and keep behavior, and it makes sure active placements only exist for active subscribers.
If you reactivate down the line, new placements get created from scratch under your then-current access plan. Previously removed placements aren’t restored.
Built for Restricted Industries, Backed by Structure
The guarantees on this page exist because most SEO providers in restricted industries run without accountability. ALT Placements works differently. Every placement is documented, every refund is calculated against actual delivery, and every domain in the network is monitored for quality. That’s what lets the network deliver consistent results for cannabis, vape, cigar, mushroom, and alternative wellness brands that have been ignored or restricted by traditional marketing channels.
If you have questions about how the guarantee applies to your specific use case, get in touch with the ALT Placements team before subscribing. We’d rather answer your questions upfront than process a refund downstream.
