The affiliate program pays you 20% of every subscription payment made by customers you refer, for the lifetime of the customer — no 12-month cutoff, no cap. Anyone who signs up through your link pays 10% less than list price for as long as they stay subscribed, and your 20% is calculated on what they actually pay.
It's self-serve and tracked: you get a referral link, clicks and signups are counted, and commission accrues automatically from the customer's paid invoices. Nothing is reconciled by hand.
Who the program is for
Use it when you send clients, partners, or an audience to SearchBlueprint and want to be paid for it — agencies recommending the tool to clients, consultants, course creators, and communities are the usual cases. Note that if you run multiple sites yourself, that's a multi-site plan, not a referral: self-referrals and existing customers adding sites don't earn commission.
Join and share your link
To join:
- Sign in, then open the affiliate program → and accept the terms. You'll get a referral code and a link of the form
searchblueprint.io/r/{your-code}. - Share the link. A click sets a 90-day attribution cookie in the visitor's browser — if they create an account inside that window, they're attributed to you, and their 10% discount is applied automatically at checkout. Nothing for them to type.
- Watch the affiliate dashboard →: clicks, referred signups, paying referrals, and the commission ledger — what's accrued, what's locked, what's payable, and what's been paid.
- Add your payout details on the dashboard — PayPal, Wise, or bank transfer.
Activation and payouts
Commission is locked until your account activates, and activation means 2 referred customers with a paid subscription. One paying referral earns nothing yet; the second unlocks everything accrued so far, and everything after. Once active, commission becomes payable when the ledger reaches the $50 minimum payout.
Each ledger row is one of the customer's invoices: the gross amount they paid, your 20% of it, and its status.
Limits and usage
- Commission is paid only for first-time customers — existing users, self-referrals, and reactivated accounts aren't eligible.
- The attribution window is 90 days from the click. The cookie is cleared once the account is created, whatever the outcome.
- A visitor can be attributed to one affiliate only — the first valid referral wins.
- We may review referrals and withhold commission for abuse: duplicate domains, emails, or payment methods, accounts created to bypass pricing, or referring your own businesses.
If something isn't working
A signup didn't show on your dashboard. The most common causes: the cookie was blocked or expired (90 days), they were already a customer, or they signed up on a different browser or device from the one that clicked. Only a click-then-signup on the same browser attributes.
Commission shows as locked. You have fewer than 2 paying referrals. The dashboard says how many more you need.
Payable but not paid. Make sure your payout details are saved and the balance has reached the $50 minimum.
