What counts as a Canadian backlink?
We categorize Canadian backlink inventory into two tiers: Core Canadian publishers with strong local signals, and Extended inventory with meaningful Canadian traffic.
Core Canadian inventory (4,307 publishers)
These are publishers with the strongest Canadian relevance signals:
- 670 websites with a .ca domain
- 1,889 websites where Canada is their #1 source of organic search traffic
- 2,741 websites where Canada is their #1 source of total traffic
Some examples of .ca inventory publishers and their SEO metrics:
| Publisher | Category | Price | DR | AS | Organic (total) | Organic from Canada | Total traffic | Traffic from Canada |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| thebabyspot.ca | Culture | Check | 46 | 15 | 38 | 1 | 2.1K | 110 |
| urtech.ca | Computers | Check | 53 | 24 | 320 | 16 | 61.4K | 1.5K |
| bigdaddykreativ.ca | Travelling | Check | 33 | 23 | 670 | 252 | 3.4K | 217 |
Extended inventory (11,887 additional publishers)
Beyond the core inventory, we identified 11,887 additional publishers that receive at least 1,000 visitors per month from Canada, based on Semrush data. These sites may not be Canada-focused, but they deliver meaningful Canadian traffic. A few examples:
| Publisher | Category | Price | DR | AS | Total traffic | Traffic from Canada |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| schoolandcollegelistings.com | Technology | Check | 62 | 26 | 121.2K | 1.2K |
| mantovauno.it | Health and Medicine | Check | 46 | 37 | 303.6K | 2.3K |
| healthyceleb.com | Movies | Check | 45 | 5 | 102.4K | 3.9K |
Domain extension (.ca) and primary traffic source matter less than you might think. What actually drives backlink value is:
- Topical relevance to your website
- Absolute Canadian traffic (not percentage)
A high-authority tech blog from India with 5,000 Canadian visitors/month will often outperform a low-quality .ca site with 500 visitors in backlink value and usually costs less. The link equity flows to Canadian users regardless of where the publisher is based.
Total inventory: 16,194 publishers
Many domains qualify under more than one category. For example, a .ca domain may also rank as Canada’s top organic traffic source.
This inventory size ranks Canada #11 in the global guest posting market.
Canadian backlinks prices
Core Canadian inventory has median guest posting price of $59 and an average of $201.
Here’s a distribution of the inventory size, price ranges and median traffic you can expect from the typical Canadian publisher website in each pricing category:
| Price Range | Inventory Size | Median Traffic |
|---|---|---|
| Under $50 | 1,872 | 436 |
| $50-149 | 1,011 | 1.2K |
| $150-349 | 537 | 2.6K |
| $350-749 | 359 | 7.7K |
| $750-1,499 | 230 | 40.3K |
| $1,500+ | 297 | 15.0K |
Where to buy Canadian backlinks
We aggregate data from 25 major backlink marketplaces worldwide, making it easy to identify platforms with the largest inventory for any country.
For Canada, the top three are prnews.io (7,220 domains), bazoom.com (6,874 domains), and adsy.com (6,356 domains).
| Marketplace | Total | .ca TLD | Top Organic | Top Total | 1K+ Visitors |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| prnews.io | 7,220 | 245 | 811 | 999 | 6,369 |
| bazoom.com | 6,874 | 235 | 797 | 785 | 6,259 |
| adsy.com | 6,356 | 258 | 681 | 909 | 5,506 |
| Unique Total | 12,193 | ||||
However, many Canadian publishers are exclusive to exact marketplaces.
When we deduplicate across all three, the combined unique inventory is 12,193 domains — meaning 41% of publishers are exclusive to a single marketplace.
To maximize your options and get the best prices, you’d need accounts on all three platforms.
Alternatively, FatGrid provides access to inventory from all 25 marketplaces through a single account.
We handle the complexity of managing multiple platforms and offer a full refund guarantee — if a placement fails, you get 100% of your money back to your original payment method, not marketplace credits.
This matters because many platforms only refund to their internal balance or charge refund fees, effectively locking your funds.
