Get Paid to Grow the Network
You already tell other agencies what you use. Now it pays you back: $50 when someone you refer starts a trial, $150 when they subscribe.
There are no payout minimums and no affiliate dashboard to babysit. Rewards land on your account as credit and show up on your next invoice.
Open to every RankNest customer • Credit applied automatically
Credit You'll Actually Notice
This isn't a $5 gift card. One subscription referral is real money off your bill, and a few of them cover your own RankNest plan outright.
Math based on current plan pricing. Refer steadily and the credit covers your own seat, then runs ahead of it.
Two Ways to Earn
You get rewarded when they try it, and rewarded again when they commit. Both can fire for the same person.
They start a trial
Free or paid. The moment a referred agency starts a trial account, your credit is on its way.
Credited fastThey subscribe
When a referral becomes a paying subscriber and stays, you bank the big one: enough credit to cover months of your own plan.
After a 2-month holdEarn both for the same person: $50 when they trial, then a $150 top-up when they convert. It all arrives as account credit, applied to your bill automatically.
Your link is already waiting for you
Nothing to apply for and nothing to install. Every RankNest account gets a referral link the day it's created. It lives in Settings → Referrals, next to a running tally of credit earned and pending.
- A clean ranknest.io/register?ref=… link you can paste anywhere
- Live counts: trials started, subscriptions converted, credit banked
- Attribution handled automatically, no UTM spreadsheets
- Team accounts route credit to the agency owner, no fiddling
How It Works
Three steps, and you only do the first one. RankNest handles attribution, the holding period, and the payout.
Share your link
Your personal link lives in Settings → Referrals. Drop it in a Slack DM, a forum reply, or the next "what do you use for SEO?" thread.
They sign up
They start a trial or go straight to a subscription through your link. Attribution is automatic, with nothing to track by hand.
You earn credit
The reward lands on your next RankNest invoice automatically. You don't chase invoices, fill out payout forms, or clear a minimum.
Refer a platform agencies actually keep
The subscription reward clears because the people you send over stay. RankNest replaces the six-tool stack agencies usually cobble together: link mapping, SEO A/B testing against live Search Console data, site audits, review mining, content analysis, and GBP scheduling, all under one login and one bill.
- One platform instead of $500+/mo of disconnected subscriptions
- Backed by real Google Search Console data, not vanity metrics
- Built for multi-client agency workflows from the ground up
- The stickiness is the point: your referral subscribes and stays, so your credit lands
The Fine Print, in Plain English
No expiring points and no "contact us to redeem." Here's exactly how the credit works.
| Reward form | Account credit on your next invoice — not a cash payout. |
| Trial reward | $50, capped at $50 per account per month. |
| Subscription reward | $150, held for 2 months; your referral must still be subscribed when it clears. |
| Teams | If you're on an agency team, the credit goes to the agency owner's account. |
Built for Agencies That Talk to Each Other
SEO is a small world. The agencies you swap referrals and war stories with are the ones who get the most out of RankNest.
The recommendation you were going to make anyway now comes with a check attached. That's the whole pitch.
Frequently Asked Questions
When do I actually get paid?
Trial credit posts quickly after your referral starts a trial (subject to the $50/month cap). The $150 subscription reward posts after a 2-month holding period.
Is this cash or account credit?
Account credit applied to your next RankNest invoice. We do not pay cash.
What if the person I referred cancels?
The trial reward stands. The $150 subscription reward only clears if they are still subscribed after 2 months — otherwise it expires.
Is there a limit?
Trial credits are capped at $50 per account per month. Subscription rewards are uncapped.
Where's my referral link?
Open Settings once you have an account — your personal referral link lives there.
