Brand Mentions: Turning Unlinked References Into DR 50+ Backlinks

Your brand is already being talked about online. Most of those mentions don't link to you — yet.

Brand mention outreach is one of the highest-conversion link building tactics because the hard part — getting someone to write about you — is already done.

Finding unlinked mentions

Use Ahrefs, Mention, or Google Alerts. Filter for DR 40+ and editorial context — news sites, blogs, podcast show notes, SaaS roundups.

Outreach that works

Thank them for the mention. Ask if they'd add a link for reader convenience. Success rates run 30–50% because you're not cold pitching.

Combine with digital PR

Every product launch, funding round, or data report is a hook for new editorial coverage — and new link opportunities.

We've placed 30,000+ backlinks for B2B SaaS clients. Brand mentions are consistently in the top three tactics by link quality and placement speed.
