Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Consolety, GSC verification, guest posting, and the points economy.
Getting Started
Consolety is a WordPress plugin that connects verified publishers for guest post exchanges. Every site in the network must verify ownership through Google Search Console, ensuring you only exchange content with real websites that have real traffic. It is a fair, transparent alternative to traditional guest post services and link brokers.
Install the Consolety plugin from the WordPress plugin repository, activate it, and connect your Google Search Console through secure OAuth. The verification process takes under 60 seconds. After verification, you receive 30 welcome points (60 for Pro) and can immediately start discovering publishers and submitting guest posts.
No. If you can install a WordPress plugin, you can use Consolety. The interface is designed for content publishers, not developers. Everything from network discovery to guest post writing happens in a familiar WordPress dashboard environment.
Yes, Consolety has a free-forever plan with no time limits and no credit card required. The free plan includes GSC verification, network discovery, the guest post editor, and connection requests. The Pro plan adds campaign marketplace access, higher point earnings, and free connection requests for EUR29.99/month.
GSC Verification
GSC verification means connecting your Google Search Console to prove you own your website. Unlike Domain Authority or traffic screenshots, GSC ownership cannot be faked. It is Google confirming you control the site. This prevents fake profiles, PBN operators, and link brokers from entering the network. Every publisher you interact with on Consolety has passed this verification.
No. Consolety only verifies that you have GSC access to your domain. Your search queries, click data, impressions, and all other analytics remain completely private. We never access, store, or display your GSC analytics data to anyone.
Yes, at any time. You can revoke Consolety access from your Google account settings under third-party app permissions. Your site will remain in the network but will show as unverified until you reconnect.
Guest Posting
You write a guest post using the built-in editor and submit it to a connected publisher. They review the content, can request revisions, and when satisfied, publish it directly to their WordPress site. You get a backlink in the post, and they get quality content for their audience. The exchange costs 30 points per submission.
Yes, when done correctly. Google has stated that guest posting for genuine audiences is perfectly acceptable. What they penalize is mass-produced, low-quality content created solely for link manipulation. Consolety encourages quality content exchange between verified publishers - exactly the kind of guest posting Google considers legitimate. Read our detailed guide on guest posting safety for more information.
Check the host site requirements before writing. Most publishers want well-written, original content that provides value to their audience. Consolety supports rich formatting including headings, images, lists, and links. The content should be relevant to the host site niche and genuinely useful for their readers.
Yes, that is the purpose of guest posting. You can include contextual backlinks to your site within the guest post content. The number and placement of links should follow the host requirements. All backlinks in Consolety guest posts are dofollow by default, giving you real SEO value.
Points and Pricing
You earn points by hosting guest posts on your site (+15 Free, +20 Pro), through daily drip (+1 Free, +2 Pro), welcome bonuses, and monthly Pro bonuses. You spend points to submit guest posts (30 points) and send connection requests (5 points Free, free for Pro). Points are never purchased with money - they are earned through network participation.
Your points are fully refunded. Consolety uses a reservation system - when you send a connection request, points are held (not deducted). If the request is rejected, cancelled, or expires, the reserved points return to your balance automatically.
No. Points cannot be purchased with money. They are earned through network participation: hosting guest posts, daily activity, and Pro subscription bonuses. This keeps the system fair and prevents wealthy publishers from dominating the exchange.
Pro publishers earn more points (double daily drip, 60 monthly bonus), get free connection requests, access the campaign marketplace, and earn more for hosting guest posts (20 vs 15 points). The Free plan includes all core features: GSC verification, network discovery, guest post editor, and connections. See our pricing page for the full comparison.
Technical
Consolety requires WordPress 5.0 or higher and PHP 7.4 or higher. It is tested with WordPress 6.7 and works with all standard WordPress themes and most page builders.
No. Consolety loads assets only on admin pages in your WordPress dashboard. No scripts, styles, or tracking code are added to your frontend. Your visitors never see or interact with the plugin.
Yes. Install the plugin on each WordPress site and verify each one through GSC. Each site has its own points balance and connections. Pro subscriptions are per-site.
