The Backlinks That Actually Matter for AI
Traditional SEO link building focused on PageRank. AI-powered search focuses on authoritative sources and citations. The backlinks you need now are different from the ones that worked before.
Traditional link building is blind
You're building backlinks without knowing which ones actually drive AI citations and recommendations.
Competitors have better sources
They get cited because they have relationships with publishers that AI platforms trust and reference.

Citation Source Questions
We analyze multiple factors including domain age, publication frequency, editorial standards, expert authorship, citation patterns across AI platforms, and historical reliability. Our authority scoring specifically measures how AI platforms weight and trust different sources, not just traditional SEO metrics.
High-value sources have established credibility with fact-checking processes, expert contributors, original research, proper citations, and a history of being referenced by AI platforms. Think academic journals, reputable news organizations, industry associations, and well-maintained expert blogs rather than content farms or low-quality directories.
Yes! Citation gap analysis shows you which authoritative sources cite your competitors but not you. This reveals relationship gaps and outreach opportunities. You'll see exactly which publishers, journalists, and platforms mention competitors, helping you prioritize your PR and content outreach efforts.
Our platform identifies key journalists, editors, and publications in your industry. We show you their coverage patterns, topics of interest, and citation history. Use this intelligence to craft targeted pitches, offer expert commentary, provide original data, or suggest collaborative content that aligns with their editorial focus.
No, it complements it. Traditional SEO link building still matters for search rankings, but AI citation sources require a different strategy. You need both: links for PageRank and authoritative citations for AI visibility. Think of this as "AI-first link building" focused on quality sources that LLMs actually reference.
Building authoritative citations takes 2-4 months typically. Quick wins include fixing broken citations, updating existing mentions with better context, and reaching out to publications that already cite your competitors. Long-term success requires consistent relationship building and high-quality content creation.
Absolutely! Monitor any domain's authority score, citation frequency, and influence on AI platforms. Track your own domain portfolio, competitor domains, publisher relationships, and potential outreach targets. Set up alerts when target domains mention your category or competitors.
SEO backlinks focus on PageRank, domain authority, and anchor text for search engine algorithms. AI citation sources prioritize editorial credibility, expert authorship, factual accuracy, and content quality for LLM training and retrieval. A great AI source might have medium domain authority but high editorial standards and expert contributors.
