Where Feedbird pulls ahead of FATJOE
The differences that actually change your day to day.
Traffic-verified sites, not just metric tiers
Predictable monthly pricing
Content included on every link
A managed service, not an order form
Built for businesses, not resellers
What FATJOE customers actually report
FATJOE holds a 4.8 TrustScore on Trustpilot from 455 reviews, with heavy praise for fast support and delivery. Critical reviews repeatedly describe links placed on low traffic sites with inflated metrics, templated site networks, weak niche relevance, and link plans seen as expensive for the value.
“Terrible service, they use super low-traffic sites with built-up DA. You get a DA30 for over a hundred dollars and the site they put it on has 50 visitors a month, its pitiful work.”
“The quality of the links supplied are absolutely dreadful. Over 50% of the links supplied from a 3500 pound campaign were placed on the same group of websites with an identical template.”
“The links that I got however, were quite poor. They were not relevant to my niche, the articles my links were put onto were not relevant to my niche either.”
“Found the support to be slow and the link plans pretty expensive for what you get. Some cool tools features but not actually the best.”
“We are very satisfied with the quality of the blog outreach services FatJoe provides for our SEO agency. Their placements are on real, authentic blogs.”
“I have used alternative outreach services, and what makes FatJoe stand out is that they respond quickly to any issues, e.g., when pages become unindexed.”
What you’re really getting with FATJOE
FATJOE is a UK-based productized SEO company best known for link building. Its core backlink products are blogger outreach (a new article written and placed on a relevant blog with your link in it) and niche edits (your link inserted into an existing post), with entry pricing from £60 per link. Everything runs through a self-serve dashboard where you can place an order in minutes, no sales call and no retainer required.
The business is built around white-label delivery for agencies: deliverables arrive unbranded so agencies can resell them to their own clients. That focus shapes the whole experience. Pricing is transparent and per-link, turnaround is systematized, and FATJOE backs placements with a lifetime link replacement policy, meaning if a link drops they replace it.
It fits agencies and in-house SEOs who know exactly what they want to order and just need reliable fulfillment at a low per-link price. It is less of a fit if you want someone to own the strategy, because FATJOE fulfills orders rather than running your campaign.
The biggest catch is domain control: you cannot pre-approve the placement domains before ordering. You choose a metric tier, pay, and find out afterward which site your link landed on. FATJOE's vetting reputation is decent, but for a business buying its own links, paying £60 or more per link sight-unseen is a real leap of faith, and it is the single most common complaint about the order-first model.
The second thing to understand is that FATJOE sells deliverables, not outcomes. Nobody at FATJOE is deciding which of your pages needs links, what anchor text distribution makes sense, or how this month's order fits last month's. If you are not an SEO yourself, you are buying ingredients without a recipe. For a small business that wants links handled end to end, a managed flat-monthly service with content included is a simpler purchase.
FATJOE is a solid pay-per-link shop for agencies buying at volume, but you cannot pre-approve domains before you pay. Feedbird's $249/mo buys 3 traffic-verified links with content included and a 6-month stability guarantee.
FATJOE is a fair pick for site owners who know exactly which links they need.
We'd genuinely point you their way if that's you. Where teams switch to Feedbird is when they want custom, on-brand work they approve first, a flat published price, and the freedom to cancel any month, without chasing a rep to do it.

What changed when small business owners handed social to a team that actually owns it.
"Feedbird creates social media content that's better and more affordable than what we can produce in-house. Went from 6 hours per client to just the 15 minutes needed for review and approval."
"It takes the socials off my hands but still gives me control over the end result given their review process. The onboarding was extremely thorough, there were very few edits required."
"Immigration law isn't exactly known for visually exciting content, but Feedbird proved that wrong. Every post is creative, on-brand, and actually looks good."
"We've been working with Feedbird for a few years now and we continue to be very pleased. They have different creators so things don't get stale."
"Feedbird is hands down the best decision I've made for my business in years. They've completely transformed my social media presence."
"Outstanding content with expert advice. Very happy! The process is easy to follow and I especially appreciate their carousel post add-on."
"I've tried many companies in the past 5 years and none was able to provide the value we get from Feedbird. The content is very relevant even though our industry is niche and technical."
"We used to spend $500 a month for the same service with a different company, so I'm so glad Feedbird exists since they charge only a quarter of that."
"Feedbird has been a total game-changer for my business. They make social media posting effortless and consistent, saving me hours every week."
