Backlink Exchange Workflow

SEOWILL’s backlink exchange feature uses a three-store team-up rule to ensure fairness and avoid direct reciprocal linking. Below is the full step-by-step workflow, including progress logic and what each store sees in the app.

Step 1: Initial Application (Progress 25%)

• Store A applies to join Store B through the Apply form. A is the initiator.
• A’s app interface: The record appears in Teams Progress with 25% progress, waiting for a third store to join.
• B’s app interface: Nothing appears yet because the team is not formed.

Step 2: Third Store Joins the Team (Progress 50%–75%)

• Store C sees this team in the second form Teams and applies to join.
• A and B’s interfaces: C’s application appears in Pending Review with 50% progress.
• Review logic:
  • If either A or B approves C first, that approver’s progress becomes 75%, while the other party still needs to review.
  • C does not need to take any action. In C’s Teams Progress, progress updates automatically based on A and B’s review decisions.

Step 3: Final Result

✅ If both A and B approve

• A, B, and C will all see the result in Exchange Results:“Team Formed Successfully.”

❌ If either A or B rejects

• A, B, and C will all see in Exchange Results:“Team Formation Failed” + failure reason.

Key Notes

• Only two approvals (from Store A and Store B) are required to form a team
• Store C does not participate in the review process
• Progress percentages (25% / 50% / 75%) reflect the team formation status, not backlink placement
• The three-store structure helps prevent direct reciprocal linking and improves link quality If you need help understanding your team status or reviewing applications, please contact SEOWILL Support Team.
