Research Credits & Pricing: Clear Costs, Useful Research, Fair Protection
Welcome to JustGroupLink Research, a research platform designed to help bloggers, website publishers, content creators and digital professionals discover commercially relevant keywords, investigate publishing opportunities and develop original article topics backed by research evidence.
JustGroupLink Research is operated by Zileth Limited, a company registered in Nigeria, with its business location in Umuahia, Abia State.
We believe customers deserve transparent pricing, useful research, clear explanations and fair protection when purchased research cannot be delivered.
Our services are designed to help publishers make informed editorial decisions. We do not guarantee Google rankings, advertising revenue, website traffic, eCPM, RPM or profitability.
Service availability: Customer registration, live payments, research-credit purchases and some advanced research features may remain disabled until testing and applicable approvals are completed. Only services presented through an authorized live checkout should be considered available for purchase.
1. Our Research Pricing at a Glance
JustGroupLink Research uses a proposed prepaid credit system to make research purchases easier to understand and manage.
| Pricing Feature | How It Works |
|---|---|
| Research Credit Value | 100 research credits represent US $1 of nominal purchasing value within the JustGroupLink platform. |
| Standard Research Pricing | Successful fresh research is ordinarily priced using approximately six times the eligible direct cost of delivering the research. |
| Minimum Pricing Benchmark | Our pricing system aims to preserve a minimum five-times direct-cost selling-price benchmark after an eligible contributor discount, before other operating expenses. |
| Contributor Discount | Eligible publishers may receive a one-time 15% discount on qualifying research after a verified, separately authorized data contribution. |
| Price Transparency | Customers receive the maximum authorized research-credit quote before a paid request begins. |
| Credit Protection | Credits are reserved before research and settled after an eligible report is delivered. Failed promised services qualify for applicable credit restoration. |
| Payment Gateway | Paystack is the proposed initial payment provider, subject to merchant approval and service activation. |
2. What Are JustGroupLink Research Credits?
Research credits are digital service-use units that customers may purchase and use to access eligible JustGroupLink research services.
Different research operations can require different levels of processing, third-party data retrieval, keyword evaluation and report preparation.
Instead of charging the same price for every search, our credit system is designed to reflect the cost and scope of the research service requested.
Important Characteristics of Research Credits
- Credits are used exclusively for eligible JustGroupLink Research services.
- Credits are not cash or a bank deposit.
- Credits cannot ordinarily be withdrawn as money.
- Credits cannot be transferred to another customer.
- Credits cannot be traded or used with other merchants.
- Credits do not earn interest.
- Credits do not guarantee advertising earnings or profitable article performance.
Applicable monetary refunds and mandatory consumer rights remain governed by our published Refund and Credit Policy and relevant law.
3. Understanding the Value of Research Credits
Our proposed standard denomination is:
100 Research Credits = US $1 of nominal service purchasing value.
This means that one credit represents approximately US $0.01 in retail research purchasing value.
| Research Credits | Nominal Service Value |
|---|---|
| 10 credits | $0.10 |
| 25 credits | $0.25 |
| 50 credits | $0.50 |
| 100 credits | $1.00 |
| 250 credits | $2.50 |
| 500 credits | $5.00 |
| 1,000 credits | $10.00 |
| 2,500 credits | $25.00 |
Important: These amounts explain the internal credit denomination. They are not cash balances, exchangeable financial instruments or guaranteed checkout prices in Nigerian naira.
4. What Can Customers Purchase With Research Credits?
Depending on availability and activation, customers may use research credits to access the following services.
High-CPC Keyword Research
Discover commercially relevant keywords using available advertiser-side research indicators, including estimated CPC, search demand, competition, search intent and geographical relevance.
Market Feasibility Research
Evaluate whether a chosen subject or market demonstrates sufficient search demand and commercially relevant advertising signals.
Premium Article Topic Generation
Receive original article-title suggestions, related keyword clusters, country-specific research angles, editorial outlines, FAQs and research guidance.
Competitor Website Research
Investigate available public search-performance estimates and identify potential editorial opportunities related to competing websites.
Publisher eCPM Intelligence
Analyze eligible historical advertising reports uploaded by the publisher and identify useful topic-performance patterns.
Premium Research Marketplace
Purchase eligible pre-prepared article research reports containing original recommendations and relevant supporting research.
Every active research product should clearly describe the information being delivered, applicable limitations and the credit price.
5. How JustGroupLink Determines Research Prices
Our standard pricing model is designed around the eligible direct cost of delivering a research operation.
Such costs may include:
- DataForSEO API requests.
- Other approved third-party research services.
- Billable report-generation services.
- Direct processing expenses attributable to the selected report.
Our intended normal pricing benchmark is approximately six times the direct research-delivery cost.
The standard customer price may be adjusted according to the scope of the report, authorized maximum quotation, necessary cost buffers and applicable pricing rules.
Our internal business objective is to preserve a minimum five-times direct-cost price after qualifying contributor discounts, before transaction fees, hosting, support, currency adjustments and other operating expenses.
Customers are charged according to the disclosed research quotation, not an undisclosed calculation made after the purchase.
6. Practical Example of Our Research Pricing
Consider an illustrative research operation where the eligible direct cost is US $0.048.
| Calculation | Amount |
|---|---|
| Direct research cost | $0.048 |
| Normal pricing at 6× direct cost | $0.288 |
| Standard charge rounded upward | 29 credits |
| Eligible contributor discount | 15% |
| Discounted charge after whole-credit rounding | 25 credits |
| Discounted price-to-cost multiple | Approximately 5.21× |
This example demonstrates the pricing model and is not a fixed price for every research request.
Actual API costs, research complexity and final quotations may vary.
7. Proposed Research Credit Packages
JustGroupLink Research may introduce different credit packages for customers with different research needs.
The following packages are illustrative and should not be interpreted as active offers until displayed through an authorized checkout.
| Package | Credits | Nominal Service Value | Suggested Customer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 250 | $2.50 | Occasional bloggers |
| Standard | 500 | $5.00 | Regular content publishers |
| Professional | 1,000 | $10.00 | Active research users |
| Agency | 2,500 | $25.00 | Publishing teams and agencies |
Final package availability, currency, taxes and checkout prices will be displayed when the applicable payment service is active.
8. Know the Maximum Cost Before Starting Research
One of our most important customer-protection principles is price transparency.
Before a billable research request begins, customers should be shown:
- The selected research service.
- The target country or market.
- The requested keyword or website.
- The main filters and research requirements.
- The expected report specifications.
- The maximum research-credit charge.
- Relevant service limitations.
Customers must authorize the quotation before research begins.
We do not intend to charge customers more credits than the accepted maximum without obtaining fresh authorization.
9. How Credit Reservations Work
When a customer authorizes a paid research request, the platform may temporarily reserve the maximum quoted number of credits.
Reserved credits are not yet permanently spent.
The reservation ensures that sufficient credits are available while the requested research is being processed.
After the research operation finishes, the system should determine whether the promised deliverable was successfully produced.
If successful, the eligible charge is settled and unused reserved credits are released.
If the promised service fails under the applicable quality conditions, the appropriate credits are restored.
10. What Counts as Successful Research?
Different research products may have different success requirements.
High-CPC Opportunities Reports
These reports may promise a specified minimum number of relevant keywords meeting the selected CPC, search-demand and research-quality requirements.
If the promised requirements cannot be met, the applicable failed-search protection should apply.
Market Feasibility Reports
A market-feasibility report may still be successful even when it discovers low demand, limited commercial opportunity or weak advertiser activity.
This is because identifying an unsuitable market can itself be a legitimate research finding.
The customer should understand the difference before purchasing.
11. What Happens If Research Fails?
JustGroupLink Research is designed to protect customers when a purchased research service cannot deliver the minimum report requirements disclosed before the request.
Qualifying failures may include:
- A technical error preventing report delivery.
- A provider failure that produces no usable report.
- A report that does not meet the promised minimum specifications.
- An accidental duplicate charge.
- A qualifying incomplete report that the customer declines to accept at a revised price.
Where the conditions for credit restoration are satisfied, the applicable reserved credits should be released or restored.
The detailed rules are described in our Refund and Credit Policy.
12. What If the Research Produces Fewer Results Than Promised?
Sometimes a research request may return useful information without meeting all the original report requirements.
Where applicable, JustGroupLink may offer a smaller report at a reduced price.
The customer should be informed of the revised deliverables and price.
The customer may accept the revised offer or receive the applicable credit restoration when the originally promised service cannot be delivered.
We do not intend to impose an undisclosed additional charge for incomplete research.
13. What Happens to Unused Reserved Credits?
If the final eligible research charge is lower than the original reservation, unused credits should be returned to the customer’s available wallet balance.
For example, if a customer authorizes a maximum of 40 credits but the eligible final charge is 30 credits, the remaining 10 credits should be released.
Customers should be able to review their research transactions, credit reservations and final charges through the account dashboard when the relevant features are active.
14. Reopening Previously Purchased Reports
Customers should not be required to purchase the same entitled research report repeatedly merely to reopen or review it.
Where a previously purchased report remains available under the applicable purchase terms, reopening it should not consume an additional research charge.
A new request for updated keyword data, a different country or additional research may carry a separate quotation.
15. Optional 15% Publisher Contribution Discount
JustGroupLink Research may offer an optional research contribution program for eligible publishers.
Under this proposed program, a publisher may voluntarily submit a new, authentic and usable historical advertising-performance CSV report.
To qualify for the contributor discount, the publisher must separately authorize eligible use of derived research insights, where such use is permitted by applicable contractual and data-protection requirements.
Following verification, a qualifying contribution may provide a one-time 15% discount on an eligible research purchase.
The contribution program is subject to activation, validation and applicable provider requirements.
Important Conditions
- The submitted report must be eligible and authentic.
- Repeated submissions of the same report do not automatically earn additional rewards.
- Private CSV analysis does not require joining the contribution program.
- Contribution permission must be separately and voluntarily granted.
- Discounts cannot be combined in ways that violate the disclosed minimum pricing rules.
- No direct cash payment is offered in exchange for a contribution.
Read our Data Contribution Policy for further information.
16. Premium Research Marketplace Pricing
Our research marketplace may offer original article-topic research reports prepared from eligible research information.
Marketplace reports may differ from fresh on-demand research because some research work has already been completed.
Each eligible product should disclose:
- The topic or category.
- The target country.
- The available research evidence.
- The report’s preparation or research date.
- The information included in the purchase.
- The full credit price.
- Important research limitations.
Marketplace customers purchase access to original research reports, not another publisher’s confidential advertising records.
Previously purchased reports should remain available according to the applicable license and account-access terms.
17. Payment Methods and International Customers
JustGroupLink Research is operated by Zileth Limited, a company registered in Nigeria.
Our proposed primary payment processor is Paystack.
Eligible Nigerian customers may be offered payment options in Nigerian naira.
International customers may be offered supported payment options when the relevant payment providers approve and enable them.
Availability can vary by country, currency, payment provider and merchant eligibility.
We do not guarantee that every card or payment method will work in every country.
Customers should rely on the authorized checkout for the actual amount payable.
18. Exchange Rates, Taxes and Payment Processing
The nominal value of 100 research credits is US $1 in JustGroupLink service purchasing value.
This does not establish a permanent Nigerian naira exchange rate.
Local-currency package prices may reflect applicable exchange rates, processing fees, taxes and other disclosed costs.
The final checkout amount should be presented before the customer makes payment.
Additional charges imposed by an external bank or card issuer may be outside JustGroupLink’s control.
19. Research Credit Restoration Versus Monetary Refunds
It is important to distinguish research-credit restoration from a refund of money to a payment card or bank account.
Credit Restoration
This involves returning eligible credits to the customer’s JustGroupLink wallet after a qualifying failed or adjusted research operation.
Monetary Refund
This involves reversing or refunding an eligible payment through the relevant payment provider.
Monetary refunds may be required under applicable law or approved under the relevant purchase terms.
Payment-provider processing times can vary.
For more information, read the Refund and Credit Policy.
20. Customer Accounts and Research Transaction History
When customer accounts are activated, registered users should be able to access a personal research dashboard.
Available account features may include:
- Research-credit balances.
- Credit purchase records.
- Reserved credits.
- Completed research charges.
- Eligible credit restorations.
- Contributor discounts.
- Purchased research reports.
- Account and support information.
Customers should protect their account passwords and report suspected unauthorized transactions promptly.
21. Research and Advertising Earnings Disclaimer
JustGroupLink Research provides information and analysis intended to help publishers make better-informed editorial decisions.
Research data can include estimated advertiser CPC, search volume, competition, keyword trends and historical publisher advertising performance.
These measurements do not all represent the same thing.
Google Search advertiser CPC is not equivalent to Google Ad Manager eCPM or AdSense Page RPM.
A high-CPC keyword does not guarantee that an article written about that keyword will attract higher advertising earnings.
Historical publisher performance also cannot guarantee future revenue, search rankings or profitability.
Customers should independently verify important research findings before making publishing, advertising or financial decisions.
22. Frequently Asked Questions About Pricing
Are research credits actual US dollars?
No. Research credits represent nominal purchasing value for eligible JustGroupLink services. They cannot ordinarily be withdrawn as cash.
Will every research request cost the same amount?
No. Different research services may require different levels of paid data retrieval and processing.
Will I see the price before purchasing research?
Our planned protected research process requires a maximum authorized quotation before a paid request begins.
Can I lose credits if the research fails?
Qualifying failures are covered by the applicable credit-restoration rules described in our Refund and Credit Policy.
What if the research discovers that my selected niche has low advertiser demand?
A valid market-feasibility report may legitimately conclude that a market has weak demand. Such findings are not automatically considered a failed service.
Will uploading my Ad Manager CSV automatically earn a discount?
No. The optional 15% discount requires an eligible verified submission and separately authorized research contribution, subject to the program being active.
Can I analyze my private CSV without allowing shared research use?
Yes, where the private-analysis service is available and the upload is otherwise eligible. Optional commercial contribution permission is separate.
Can customers outside Nigeria use JustGroupLink?
Our platform is intended to serve customers in supported international markets. Available payment methods and particular services depend on country and provider approval.
Does buying high-CPC research guarantee high AdSense or AdX earnings?
No. Research recommendations and advertiser CPC figures do not guarantee publisher advertising performance.
Who should I contact about incorrect credit deductions?
Contact info@justgrouplink.com with your relevant research or transaction reference.
