SiteCurve's affiliate program offers a powerful way to expand your keyword tracking capabilities while helping others discover the platform. By referring new users to SiteCurve, both you and your referrals receive free keywords to use across your landscapes.


How the Free Keywords Program Works

When you refer someone to SiteCurve who becomes a paid subscriber, both of you receive a generous allocation of free keywords:

  • Referrer Benefit: You receive 250 free keywords added to your account

  • Referee Benefit: Your referral also receives 250 free keywords added to their account

These free keywords are initially credited to your personal SiteCurve account, not directly to any specific business account. Since SiteCurve users can belong to multiple accounts, you'll need to manually apply these free keywords to the specific account where you want to use them.

Applying Your Free Keywords

  1. Free keywords appear in your personal settings account after a successful referral

  2. You must actively apply these keywords to a specific account you're a member of

  3. Navigate to your personal settings to view available free keywords

  4. Select which account you want to apply the keywords to from a dropdown menu

  5. Once applied, the keywords become available for use in that specific account

Remember that keywords can only be applied once and cannot be transferred between accounts after application.


Key Features of the Free Keywords Program

Long-Term Benefits

  • The 250 free keywords remain in the account you've applied them to for as long as the referred user maintains their subscription

  • If you refer multiple users, the benefits stack - each successful referral adds another 250 keywords to your personal account that you can then apply to business accounts

  • There's no limit to how many referrals you can make or free keywords you can earn

Keyword Usage and Application

  • Free keywords are initially credited to your personal SiteCurve account

  • You must manually select which business account to apply them to (you can belong to multiple accounts in SiteCurve)

  • Once applied to a specific account, the keywords can be used like any other keywords in that account

  • Applied keywords can be used toward creating new landscapes or expanding existing ones within that account

  • Free keywords cannot be transferred between accounts after they've been applied

Tracking Your Free Keywords

  • All free keywords earned through referrals are visible in your Account Admin section

  • SiteCurve clearly displays how many keywords you've earned from each referral

  • This makes it easy to track your benefits and plan your landscape expansion accordingly


What Happens If a Referral Cancels?

If a user you've referred cancels their SiteCurve subscription:

  • The 250 free keywords associated with that referral will be removed from your account

  • You'll receive notification before this happens

  • Any other free keywords from other active referrals remain unaffected


Additional Affiliate Program Benefits

The free keywords program works alongside SiteCurve's financial affiliate program:

  • You earn 40% of your referral's base subscription fee recurringly each month (e.g., $47.60 monthly for a $119/month Business plan)

  • This financial benefit continues for the life of the customer

  • The financial reward applies to the base subscription fee only, not to additional keyword purchases

FAQs About the Free Keywords Program

How quickly are free keywords added to my account?

Free keywords are credited immediately after your referral completes their paid subscription setup. They will appear in your personal settings account, not directly in a business account. You'll need to manually apply them to your preferred account.

Can I use free keywords across multiple landscapes?

Yes, free keywords work exactly like regular keywords and can be distributed across any landscapes in your account.

Is there a limit to how many free keywords I can earn?

No, there's no cap on how many referrals you can make or free keywords you can earn through the program.

What happens to free keywords if I delete my account?

If you delete your account, any unapplied free keywords (those still in your personal account and not yet applied to a business account) will be lost. However, if you've already applied free keywords to a business account that remains active, those keywords will stay with that account.

Can I apply free keywords to any account type?

You can apply free keywords to Starter (Free) accounts and Business accounts. Enterprise accounts are not eligible for free keywords due to their higher servicing costs. When applying keywords, Enterprise accounts will appear grayed out in the dropdown selection menu.

How do I know which referrals are active and contributing to my free keywords?

Your Account Admin section shows all active referrals and the free keywords associated with each one.

Can free keywords be transferred between accounts?

No, once free keywords are applied to an account, they cannot be transferred to another account.

What happens if a referred user upgrades or downgrades their plan?

For the financial affiliate commission, if a user upgrades, your commission increases proportionally. If they downgrade, your commission decreases accordingly. The free keywords benefit is not affected by plan changes.
