When the publisher sends the live link, the order moves to Pending Approval. Check the post before your client is asked to pay.
1 Open the published order
Open Guest Post Tasks → Pending Approval and click View.
The live URL, the automatic content check and your chat with our team.
- Final Published Post URL: click Open to see the live post.
- Live Content Verification: our automatic check of the live page.
Reading the content check
| Box | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Content Match | How much of the article was found on the page. Close to 100% is good; a low number means the text was changed. |
| Backlinks | How many of the client's links were found, for example 1/1. |
| Headings | Whether the article's headings are on the page at the right level. |
Open the post yourself as well: check the link goes to the Target URL and the post is on the right website.
2 Approve or ask for improvements
- Approve / Waiting for Payment: the post is fine. The order moves to Waiting For Payment, ready for the invoice.
- Ask for Improvements: something needs fixing. The order moves to Improvements. Say what is wrong in the Messages panel so our team can pass it on to the publisher.
After the publisher fixes it, the order comes back to Pending Approval.
3 Get paid
Next, send your client an invoice. When the client pays, the order becomes Completed automatically.
4 If the client doesn't pay
Open the order in Waiting For Payment and click Unpublish Request. The publisher is asked to take the post down; once they confirm, the order closes as Rejected. If the client pays later, the order goes back to Accepted By Publisher so the post can be published again.
Talk to your client before you send an unpublish request. The publisher removes the post, and it can't simply be put back.
