What 20% for life actually pays
Pick a plan and how many clients you'd send. It's straight arithmetic on today's prices, after your client's 10% off, and renewals pay the same as the first payment.

How a referral turns into commission
- 1Email us to joinThe self-serve partner page isn't open yet, so joining starts with an email.
- 2Share your linkYour client signs up through it and pays 10% less at checkout, with no code to type.
- 3Earn on every paymentYou earn 20% of the first payment and of every renewal after it.
Payable from your second paying client, with a $50 minimum
Commission builds from your first paying client. Once your second client is paying, the whole balance becomes payable, so nothing you earned before is lost. We pay once your payable balance reaches $50, and we confirm each payout with you before it's sent.

The rules, in full, before you join
These are the terms you accept when your link is issued, word for word.
1. Commissions apply only to new customers
Affiliate rewards are paid only for first-time SearchBlueprint customers. Existing users, self-referrals, or reactivated accounts are not eligible.
2. Commission activates after the second active website
Affiliate commission becomes eligible only once at least 2 referred customers have a paid subscription. We do not pay out for 1 single referral.
3. Recurring commission period
Once activated, affiliates earn 20% recurring commission on the customer's subscription payments for the lifetime of the customer. There is no 12-month cutoff and no cap.
4. Your referrals get 10% off
Anyone who signs up through your link is charged 10% less than list price for as long as they stay subscribed. Your 20% is calculated on what they actually pay, and the discount is applied automatically at checkout. There is nothing for them to type in.
5. No self-referrals or abuse
Commissions will not be paid for:
- Your own accounts or businesses
- Accounts created to bypass pricing or discounts
- Duplicate domains, emails, or payment methods
- Existing SearchBlueprint customers adding new sites
6. Multi-site customers encouraged
Customers managing multiple websites should use official multi-site plans.
7. Referrals are tracked for 90 days
A visitor who clicks your link is tied to you for 90 days. If they sign up for SearchBlueprint within that window, they count as your referral.
8. Right to review
SearchBlueprint may review referrals at any time to ensure compliance with these rules, and reserves the right to withhold commissions in cases of abuse and terminate affiliate status.
The questions every partner asks
How long does the commission last?
For the lifetime of the customer. If a client you referred is still paying in year four, you're still earning 20% in year four. There's no 12-month cutoff and no cap on how many clients you refer.
How are referrals tracked?
By your link. Clicking it ties the visitor to you for 90 days, and the referral is bound to their account when they sign up in that window, so a client who takes a few weeks to decide still counts. If something looks wrong, email us.
Why does commission need 2 paying clients before it pays out?
It keeps the programme aimed at partners who really recommend the product rather than one-off self-referrals, which is what lets us pay 20% for life. Commission still builds from your first paying client and is held until the second one pays, then the whole balance becomes payable. Nothing is lost by getting there slowly.
What do my clients get?
10% off list price, applied at checkout, for as long as they stay subscribed. Your 20% is worked out on what they actually pay.
When do I get paid?
Once your payable balance reaches $50. We confirm each payout with you before it's sent.
What does SearchBlueprint cost my clients?
Base is $150/mo per website, or $100/mo billed yearly ($1,200). Agency is $300/mo for every website you manage. Your clients pay 10% less. Their first plan is free, so they see it before they spend anything.
What should I share?
The free plan, so a client sees their own site's plan before paying anything, the sample report, and the one-pager on this page.
Can I refer my own business?
No. Your own accounts and businesses don't earn commission, and neither do existing customers adding new sites.
Your clients already ask what you use. Get paid for the answer.
Email us to join. Your clients start with a free plan, so they see their own before they pay.
