Backlinks that actually fit your niche and city.
Tell us your industry, niche and location. You get a full link-building plan: citations, industry directories, local links in your city, digital PR sources and partnership ideas, each tagged by whether it moves SEO, AEO, GEO or your Google Maps ranking.
A full link plan for your niche and city: citations, industry directories and registers, local links, digital PR sources and partnerships. Each one says how you get it (sign up yourself, apply, or outreach), whether the link is usually dofollow or nofollow, and which goal it helps: SEO, AEO, GEO or Google Maps.
A link plan built for your trade, your country and your city.
Sites chosen for your business, not a generic list
Citations every business should have in your country, then the directories, associations and review platforms of your industry, then local sources templated to your city: chambers, councils, business districts, local press and events. Each one says how the link is earned and whether it is followed.
Profiles you already have
Give us your website and we read it for links to the directories and platforms on the list, open each profile, and check whether it links back to you. Those are marked as already listed, so the plan starts from what is missing.
Tagged by what each link moves
SEO for search rankings, Maps for local citations, AEO and GEO for the sources answer engines and AI assistants read. Pick the tag that matches how your customers find you and start there.
Start with the self-serve group
Self-serve listings need only an afternoon and your business details. Sites that need an application or an approach to a person take longer, so they come next, once the basics are in place.
Nofollow still counts
A nofollow link from a major directory or review site passes no ranking value directly, but it is a citation for Maps and a source AI assistants read. Do not skip a listing because it is nofollow.
The same details, everywhere
Use exactly the same business name, address and phone on every listing. Inconsistent details hurt your Maps ranking more than having fewer listings does.
Backlink finder, answered.
Is this a real backlink database?
It is a curated one: a hand-maintained list of real, well-known directories, associations, review platforms and PR sources, matched to your industry, niche and country, plus local opportunities templated to your city. It is not a domain-authority index, so treat difficulty and relevance as directional, not a verified metric.
Why does a link "help Maps" specifically?
Google Maps ranking leans heavily on citation consistency: your name, address and phone matching across directories, plus reviews. A link tagged Maps is a citation source, not a traditional authority link.
Why does a link "help AEO or GEO" specifically?
Answer and generative engines lean on sources they can read and trust: association pages, review platforms, and publications that state plainly what you do and where. A link tagged AEO/GEO is a source that AI engines are likely to crawl or cite, not just a search-ranking signal.
Should I get every link on the list?
No. Start with "easy" difficulty first, skip anything flagged in the avoid list, and prioritise whichever tag (SEO, AEO, GEO, Maps) matters most for how your customers actually find you.
Should I pay for links?
No. Paid link networks and guaranteed-ranking packages risk a Google penalty. A paid directory membership is different: you pay for the listing and its visibility, and its link is marked as sponsored. Judge those on whether customers use the directory, not on the link.
Don't just find the links. Get them.
