A package advertising thousands of backlinks is difficult to evaluate from its promised quantity alone. For a sample-delivery review, what evidence would you request?
I would ask for a small representative set of source URLs, placement types, destination URLs and the method used to obtain the references. Then inspect whether the pages are accessible, relevant and understandable to a visitor.
The review should distinguish rows in a spreadsheet from actual useful references. It should also identify commercial terms and any claims that remain unverified. Share a redacted sample format or a proposed checklist; avoid presenting a supplier's promised volume as proof that the delivery has value.
