Collaborator Launches a Slack Community for SEOs and Publishers

Got a link-building question Google can't answer? Or a campaign result you'd like a second opinion on? Bring it to the new Collaborator Slack community.

It's where SEO specialists, link builders, digital PR teams, and publishers swap ideas, break down cases, and help each other figure things out. Our team is there too, so you can suggest a feature or report a bug and hear back from the people who build the platform.

Our Telegram community for SEOs already has more than 6,000 members. Slack is our second home for SEO conversations, and we'd love to see you there.

• What it is: Collaborator's Slack SEO community for link building and digital PR discussions
• How to join: Fill in a 2-minute registration form, then follow the access instructions
• For publishers: Add websites to Collaborator and have them approved between October 14 and December 20, 2026, to enter the giveaway for an iPhone Duo, an iPhone 18 Pro, and a Collaborator gift box
• Giveaway requirement: You must be a community member to win

• Discuss ideas. Before you put budget into a link-building or digital PR approach, talk it through with peers in #07-seo-link-building.
• Share cases. Post campaign results: what you tried, what changed, and what you'd do differently.
• Ask questions. Get help with site selection, pricing, AI visibility, or publisher work. Both members and the Collaborator team answer.
• Shape the product. Suggest features, share feedback on the platform, and report bugs directly to the Collaborator team.

Each topic has its own channel, so it's easy to find your way around:

Anyone who works on SEO, link building, digital PR, or website monetization. Here's what each group usually gets out of it:

• In-house SEOs and link builders: Compare site-selection approaches, check ideas before a campaign, and ask how other teams measure results.
• Agencies: Swap notes on client campaigns, workflows, and pricing across niches and countries.
• Digital PR specialists: Discuss placement strategy, brand mentions, and visibility in AI search.
• Publishers and website owners: Ask questions about monetization, pricing, and advertiser requirements, plus feedback on the publisher side of the platform. Until December 20, this is also where the publisher giveaway runs.

To celebrate the launch, we're running a giveaway for publishers. From October 14 to December 20, 2026, every website you add to Collaborator that passes moderation earns you an entry.

Connect Google Analytics and Google Search Console to get up to 4 entries per website.

What Are the Prizes?

• 1st place: Brand-new iPhone Duo
• 2nd place: iPhone 18 Pro
• 3rd place: Collaborator New Year Gift Box and branded merch

How Do You Enter?

1. Log in to your Collaborator publisher account. New to Collaborator? Sign up as a publisher. New and existing publishers can both take part.
2. Add your websites. Our team reviews each one against Collaborator's standard moderation requirements. You can add as many sites as you want.
3. Connect Google Analytics and Google Search Console to earn extra entries.
4. Join the Slack community through the registration form. For giveaway updates and questions, visit #giveaway.

How Are Entries Calculated?

Each entry is one chance in the draw. For example, 5 approved websites with both GA and GSC connected give you 20 entries. GA and GSC connections must be active and verified when entries are finalized.

Which Websites Qualify?

• Each website must be both added and approved between October 14 and December 20, 2026.
• Websites added before October 14 aren't eligible, even if they're approved during the giveaway.
• Websites still pending moderation after the deadline won't count.

What Are the Key Dates?

All requirements must be completed by the same deadline on December 20:

• 🇪🇺 Central Europe (CET): 10:59 PM
• 🇺🇸 New York (EST): 4:59 PM
• 🇺🇦 Kyiv (EET): 11:59 PM

How Will Winners Be Selected?

On December 23, we'll randomly draw three winners from all valid entries. One publisher can win more than one prize.

We'll record the draw on video and publish the recording and results in the Slack community and on Collaborator's social media channels.

What Can Make Your Entries Invalid?

• A website is rejected or removed. Every entry linked to that website becomes invalid.
• GA or GSC is disconnected. Connections must stay active and verified when entries are finalized.
• You leave the community. You must be a Slack community member when the winners are selected.

Where Can You Ask Questions About the Giveaway?

Ask in the #giveaway channel. The team answers questions about the rules, moderation, and how entries are counted. We'll also post updates and the running total of entries there.
