FAQ
Quick answers
Who is Shahidul Afridi?

What services do you offer?
Through Markertion: Digital PR campaigns, SaaS link building, guest posting, niche edits, press release distribution, PR in Bangladesh, AI search visibility (GEO/AEO) and full SEO services.
How much does link building cost?
SaaS link building packages start at $345 for 5 permanent dofollow links (DR 0–20+). Guest posts start at $199/month, niche edits at $80 per link, and Digital PR campaigns at $2,499 for 3+ guaranteed journalist links.
What’s the difference between Digital PR and link building?
Link building secures links on chosen relevant websites through guest posts or niche edits. Digital PR pitches newsworthy stories and data to journalists, who choose to cover them — earning editorial links and brand mentions from high-authority media.
Can you help my brand appear in ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity?
Yes. We test buyer prompts across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and Google AI Overviews, map the sources they cite, then strengthen those sources with brand mentions, listicles, Digital PR and links. No AI citation is guaranteed — but visibility is measurable.
Do you offer PR in Bangladesh?
Yes — 150+ Bangladeshi news portals, TV channels and Facebook news pages, including Prothom Alo, The Daily Star, Jugantor and Dhaka Tribune. Campaign packages start at ৳30,000.
How long until I see results?
Guest posts usually go live in 1–3 weeks; SaaS packages from 14 days. Most sites see measurable ranking and traffic movement within 2–6 months.
Do you use PBNs or guarantee rankings?
No. Every link is on a real website with real organic traffic and is approved by you first. No PBNs or hacked sites — and nobody can honestly guarantee rankings or AI citations.
