🔍 Overview
When you order more than one link building placement, each placement is fulfilled individually — not all at once. This means you may see only one live link in your results shortly after ordering, while the remaining placements are still being processed. This is completely normal and expected behavior.
📅 Delivery Timeline Per Placement
Each placement in your order may take additional time to be delivered after the previous one is confirmed. Because placements can be staggered, a multi-placement order may take longer in total before all links are live. Factors that influence timing include:
- Publisher review and editorial approval
- Content creation and placement scheduling
- Site-specific publishing queues
These timelines are standard across the industry and ensure that each placement meets quality standards before going live.
👁️ Why You May Only See One Placement at First
When you view your order, the results only display placements that have already been published and confirmed. If your order includes two or more placements and only one is visible, this means:
- The first placement has been successfully delivered and is live
- The remaining placement(s) are still in progress and have not yet been published
The absence of a second link in your order results does not indicate a problem with your order. It simply means that placement is still within its delivery window.
🗂️ How to Check the Status of Your Full Order
To confirm that all ordered quantities are accounted for and being processed, follow these steps:
- Log in to your Search Atlas account and navigate to Left sidebar → Authority → Link Building Exchange
- Locate the relevant campaign or order in your list
- Check the order details to confirm the total number of placements purchased matches what is shown
- Review the status of each placement — delivered placements will show a live URL, while in-progress placements will show a pending or processing status
If the total quantity shown in your order details matches what you purchased, your order is on track. No action is needed while a placement is still within its expected delivery window.
✅ What to Do If a Placement Appears Overdue
If a placement has not appeared and you believe it is outside the expected delivery window, here is what to do:
- Review your order details to confirm the placement status and the date it was expected to begin fulfillment
- Check any in-platform notifications or messages for updates from the campaign team
- If the status still shows pending beyond the delivery window, reach out to the support team for a manual status check — have your order details, the number of placements purchased, and any relevant dates ready when you contact us
