Earned links, built for software companies

Linkable assets for SaaS companies

SaaS keywords are some of the most competitive on the web, and bought links put your domain at risk right when you can least afford it. We build assets your market wants to cite, so the links come to you and keep coming.

Software buyers research in public. They ask peers in communities, they read review sites, and more of them now ask AI assistants for a shortlist before they ever reach your site. Earned links are how you show up in all three. A bought link does none of that and can trigger a penalty that tanks the rankings you depend on for pipeline.

For SaaS

Assets that earn links in software

These are the formats that consistently attract links from tech publishers, review sites, and founder communities.

📊

Product usage reports

You sit on data nobody else has. A benchmark drawn from your own anonymized usage becomes a stat other blogs cite for years.

📈

State of the industry

An annual survey of your category gives journalists and analysts a source to quote and a reason to link back to you.

🧮

Free calculators and graders

An ROI calculator or a quick audit tool earns links every time someone references a way to size up a problem you solve.

🔌

Integration and comparison guides

Clear guides to the tools your buyers already use pull links from partner sites and from people comparing options.

📚

Glossaries and knowledge bases

A well built glossary for your category becomes the definition page other writers link to when they need to explain a term.

🧰

Templates and frameworks

Templates your audience can copy and reuse get embedded and shared, and each share is a chance at a link.

Where the links come from

SaaS links live in specific places

We target the sources that actually carry weight in software, not generic directories.

  • Editorial roundups on review platforms like G2 and Capterra
  • Startup and tech newsletters with engaged founder audiences
  • Founder and operator communities where buyers ask for recommendations
  • Journalists and analysts who cover your category
  • Partner and integration directories tied to the tools you connect with
  • Niche blogs that publish data and need a source to cite
An example play

From usage data to a cited benchmark

A SaaS team pulls one honest metric from its own platform, something like how long a task takes before and after using the product. We shape that into a short benchmark report with a clear chart and a plain takeaway. Writers covering the category now have a number to quote, and the link points back to the report. As more people cite it, the asset keeps earning links with no extra outreach.

This is the opposite of a bought link. It’s a real source, on your domain, that other people choose to reference.

Good to know

SaaS questions, answered

We’re early and don’t have much data yet. Can this still work?
Yes. Early teams often have the most interesting angle, because the category is new and the questions are unanswered. We can build from a small honest dataset, a strong point of view, or a free tool rather than a large study.
How is this different from a guest post?
A guest post is one placement you pay for and it stops working the moment it publishes. A linkable asset lives on your site and earns links from many people over time, which compounds instead of fading.
Will this help us show up in AI search?
It helps. AI assistants lean on content that’s cited and trusted across the web. The same earned links and clear, quotable assets that build rankings also make your product easier for an assistant to surface and recommend.
How fast do we see results?
We usually build an asset in about two weeks. Links then accrue over the weeks that follow as people discover and reference it. It’s a durable play, not an overnight one.
