DA Targeting gives certainty. Smart Select gives flexibility.
Both deliver a published placement with full managed delivery. The difference is what gets prioritised when picking the publisher.
DA Targeting
Choose this when you need a specific DA bracket for strategy, reporting or client requirements.
Smart Select
Choose this when you want the strongest mix of relevance, traffic and site quality at the budget.
Smart Select outcomes
Smart Select looks at the whole opportunity, not just DA.
Smart Select picks publishers based on relevance, traffic and overall quality, not just DA. The strongest placement often isn’t the highest DA.
Baseline most common
DA50–59 placement
A relevant site in the DA50–59 range with good traffic and topical fit. Smart Select never delivers below this for an unconstrained campaign.
Upside
DA60+ placement
When a stronger DA60+ opportunity matches the brief, Smart Select takes it. You save $81 versus buying the DA60+ tier directly.
Traffic-led
High-traffic placement
A site reporting 30,000+ monthly visitors on Ahrefs, where real-world traffic and relevance outweigh a slightly lower DA. Often the bigger SEO outcome.

Pricing FAQ
Common buying questions.
Quick answers about pricing, targeting, Smart Select and campaign flexibility.
Standard delivery is one week without approvals or two weeks if you opted for content, placement or both approvals. Content turns around within days of ordering, and the approval window gives you time to review and request revisions. A 30-day drip-feed option is also available if you want placements spread across a campaign window.
