See the pages that put your competitors in the answer

Pick a category. An answer to a buyer's question leans on a handful of pages, and those pages are where a mention changes who gets recommended.

Two hundred directory listings, and the answer still names someone else

A directory package gets you a spreadsheet of submissions on sites few people read. When a buyer asks AI for a tool like yours, the answer leans on a handful of review pages, roundups and threads instead.

Most packages never touch those pages, so the money buys proof of work rather than recommendations.

Know exactly which pages to get onto first

Backlink discovery starts from the answers themselves. LinkGecko asks AI the questions your buyers ask and ranks the pages behind each answer, so you see where competitors are listed and you aren't.

Journalist and podcast requests that fit your product land on the same list.

Send emails that give editors a reason to add you

Every target comes with a draft for its editor that names the buyer question their page answers and the tools it already covers. You change a line or two and send it from your own inbox.

Auto Link Intelligence reruns your buyers' questions every week. It shows which placements went live, adds new backlink opportunities, and marks each question where AI now names you.

What the same budget buys elsewhere

Typical prices for the options SaaS teams weigh, as of October 2026.

Directory packages$99 to $299 once

Hundreds of submissions and a spreadsheet of screenshots. Few of those directories ever appear in an AI answer.

Link building agencies$300 to $500 a link

Editorial placements done for you, at a price most early teams can buy once or twice, not every month.

AI visibility trackers$29 to $99 a month

A dashboard showing you're missing from the answer. Working out where to get listed is still your job.

Questions SaaS teams ask first

How do I get my SaaS mentioned in ChatGPT?

Get listed on the pages ChatGPT reads when buyers ask about your category: review sites like G2, best-of roundups, comparison posts and Reddit threads. LinkGecko finds those pages for your category and drafts the email to each editor.

Are SaaS directory submissions worth it?

A few are. Directories that AI answers actually cite, such as G2 and Capterra, are worth a strong profile. Bulk packages of hundreds of low-traffic directories rarely reach the answer, and search engines can read them as spam.

Which sites does ChatGPT cite when it recommends software?

Mostly review sites, editorial roundups, comparison posts and community threads. The exact pages change from one category to the next, which is why LinkGecko asks your buyers' questions and records the pages behind each answer.

How do I get my product added to a best X tools list?

Write to the editor with a reason the list is incomplete: the buyer question the page answers, the tools it already covers, and what yours does better. LinkGecko writes that first draft for every list in your category.

How long does a new listing take to show up in AI answers?

It varies. Some answers change within days of a page update and others take weeks. The weekly run shows when an answer starts naming you, question by question, so you can see which placements paid off.

Does link building still matter for AI search?

Yes. AI answers lean on what other sites say about you, so a mention on the right page changes which brands get recommended. The difference is which pages count: the ones the answer reads, not the ones with the highest DR.
