ADVANCED LINK BUILDING FOR SOFTWARE COMPANIES

LinkGecko features

LinkGecko finds the press requests, review sites and threads that can get your software cited in AI answers, then drafts the outreach. Answer share, rival and buyer question data show which links to chase first.

02 PAGES AI CITES

Pages AI answers cite

AI answers lean on third-party pages: review sites, ranked lists, comparison posts. LinkGecko lists the pages cited for your category, flags the ones you are missing from and drafts a pitch for each.

LinkGecko leaves link farms and spam directories out. It still recommends a listing on a respected review site when AI answers cite that site.

  • Cited pages from real answers, grouped by domain
  • A present or missing flag on every source
  • Citation counts, so you pitch the most-cited sites first

03 COMMUNITIES

Threads AI answers quote

When buyers ask AI to compare software, the answers often quote forum threads. LinkGecko finds the Reddit, Quora and forum threads cited for your questions and drafts a helpful reply for each one.

  • Threads taken from real citations, not keyword guesses
  • Ranked by how often the answers lean on them
  • A drafted reply you edit and post yourself

  • Built from real search phrases, not brainstorms
  • High-intent questions first
  • The full transcript behind every question

06 ANSWER SHARE

Answer share

LinkGecko asks live AI answer engines the questions your buyers ask and counts the answers that name you. The result is one plain number, such as named in 5 of 12, along with where you sit in each answer.

  • Live, web-grounded answers, not estimates
  • Your position in each answer, not just a yes or no
  • Every number links to the full answer it came from

Content gaps

Content gaps shows the buyer questions you have no strong page for, and who AI names there instead. Each gap comes with a draft you can edit and publish. A live page on that question gives your pitches something worth linking to.

  • Questions a rival holds because you have nothing to cite
  • Drafts written for your niche, ready to edit
  • Gaps sorted by buying intent
