AI SEO Backlinks · Social Mentions
A mention with no link is still a brand signal.
Search reads what other pages say about a brand. This buys a real thread that names yours. There is no link in it, on purpose. $20 a thread.
- Engines read what's said about you. — A brand with no discussion around it reads as nothing.
- No link, by design. — This product has no anchor, no target URL and nothing to point anywhere.
- It's what a prospect finds too. — People search a name to check the business is real.
- The opening post never names you. — A thread that opens with the brand is an advert.
- The endorsement lives in the replies. — That's where a real conversation puts it.
- Four shapes of conversation. — Random, Recommendation, Brand comparison, or Experience. You pick.
- $20 a thread. — Order 1 to 25 at a time. The draft generator is 20¢.
- This is not an AI placement. — Being discussed makes you eligible to be named, not certain to be.
Discussion about the brand,
and nothing anyone can penalise.
Search works out what a brand is from what other pages say about it.
A link is one way to say something. Naming the brand is another.
This buys a real thread where the brand gets named.
There is no link in it. That is on purpose.
So it is a brand signal, not a link signal.
Nothing to audit. Nothing to disavow. Nothing that reads as bought.
No card required. See every tool and every price before you spend anything.
The obvious objection
You're paying for something with no link in it.
That sounds backwards, so let's deal with it now.
A link is one signal. Being named on a page is a different one.
Search and answer engines both use it to work out whether a brand is real.
Every linked asset you've ever bought came with a liability. Anchor ratios. Footprints. Disavow files.
Most of the time that's worth it. Sometimes it isn't.
An unlinked mention has nothing to penalise. It's brand signal shaped like a real conversation.
Want the link too? Social Proof Backlinks is the same thread with a do-follow link in it.
Search the client's name. See what a prospect finds.
The account is free and takes no card. If nothing comes back that looks like a human discussing them, you already know what this is for.
No card required. See every tool and every price before you spend anything.
How a thread gets built
Why the opening post never names your client.
This is the most controllable product in the family. The deliverable is words about your client, and nobody should ship those unread.
- 01
Pick the client and name the brand
Every order files under a client record. Set the client type too — a thread about a plumber doesn't read like a thread about software.
- 02
Choose the shape of the conversation
Random, Recommendation, Brand comparison, or Experience. Pick the way a real person would arrive at this client.
- 03
Write the opening post, without the brand
This is the rule that makes it work. The brand is not in the opening post. Threads that open with the answer are adverts.
- 04
Add the replies
One to five, and the first is required. That's where the brand gets named, answering the question.
- 05
Draft it if you'd rather edit than write
Generate the posts for 20¢ and add any instructions. Then read every line. It goes out with your client's name on it.
- 06
Watch the status, then read the report
Draft, Submitted, In progress, Completed. We don't publish a delivery date. The screenshot lands inline in a branded report.
What you end up holding
A conversation about the client, and no link to defend.
Picture the next brand check. A prospect searches the name and finds discussion that looks human. And there's no link footprint to audit.
- A screenshot of the thread
- The question, the replies, the brand named in an answer. In the product's own words: "The deliverable is a screenshot, not a link." Publishing the URL would invite spam reports.
- A conversation shaped like a real one
- Someone asked. Someone answered. The brand is in the answer, not the headline.
- Nothing that can be penalised
- No link, no anchor to manage, no asset that turns into a liability later.
- An entity signal
- Discussion is part of how an engine builds a picture of who a business is. Whether it then names your client isn't ours to promise.
- A branded report per order group
- Your logo, the client, threads rendered inline. Client-ready.
A thread is $20. The draft generator is 20¢.
Charged when the order is accepted. Refunded on its own if it can't be placed. Credits don't expire.
No card required. See every tool and every price before you spend anything.
The countable part
The numbers, and what we won't claim.
- Cost
- $20 a thread today, at the 1,000-credit plan rate. A smaller plan costs a little more per thread, a bigger one less. The Order screen prints the cost before you confirm.
- Unit
- One thread. Order 1 to 25 at a time.
- Link
- None. This product has no link, by design.
- Deliverable
- A screenshot of the thread, rendered inline in the report.
- Thread types
- Random, Recommendation, Brand comparison, Experience.
- Structure
- One opening post plus 1 to 5 replies. The first reply is required.
- Opening post rule
- The brand is not named in it. That's what stops the thread reading as an advert.
- Draft generator
- 20¢, plus any extra instructions. You edit it before you order.
- Target URL
- Not collected. There's no link to point anywhere.
- Which community
- You don't pick it. You choose the thread type, the wording and the client type.
- Indexing
- Not offered here. There's no link to index, and a screenshot can't be submitted.
- AI answers
- Discussion is one input into how an engine reads a brand. We don't promise a mention in any assistant's answer.
- Delivery date
- We don't publish one. The status moves Draft, Submitted, In progress, Completed. There's no completion webhook.
$20 is today's price at the 1,000-credit plan rate, and the Order button prints the credit cost it spends. These are placed through outside networks, so a supplier catalogue change moves the number.
What it costs to find out
See what an unlinked brand mention costs.
The account is free and needs no card. Both Social products sit on one catalogue with their costs on the Order button. This one is $20.
Creating the account is free. Not a trial that takes your card "for verification" — no card at all, and no call with anyone.
And nothing expires on a timer. Credits sit in the account until you spend them.
When you're ready to spend
$0.35–$0.50
per credit, improving with the volume you commit to
See the full pricing page →What you are not signing
No contract, no minimum, no quote and no call. Buy credits monthly if the volume suits you, or buy a block once and owe nothing after it.
Every deliverable in the platform prints its credit cost on the button that spends it, so you always price the work before you run it.

Before you ask
The questions we'd ask before pointing this at a client.
- What does an unlinked mention do for SEO?
- It gets the brand named on a page that discusses your category. Search and answer engines both build their picture of a brand from what other pages say about it, and a brand nobody discusses gives them nothing to work with. This is a brand signal rather than a link signal.
- Why would I pay $20 for something with no link?
- Fair question. If your only measure is links per dollar, don't buy this. What you're buying is the one off-site asset with no liability attached to it, plus something a prospect finds when they search the name.
- Will this make an AI assistant mention my client?
- No promise, from us or from anyone with a straight face. Unlinked mentions are one input into how an engine understands a brand. A brand with no discussion around it gives it nothing to work with.
- Is this fake word of mouth?
- It's a placed thread, and we're not going to dress that up. What we control is whether it's honest. You write or approve every line before it ships.
- Why a screenshot instead of a URL?
- Publishing the thread URL would invite spam reports. You get a screenshot of the real thread instead, rendered inline in the report.
- Can I choose which community it goes in?
- No. You choose the thread type, the wording and the client type.
- What's the difference between this and Social Proof Backlinks?
- The link, and only the link. Social Proof Backlinks is the same thread with a do-follow link written into it. This one has no link at all, which is why it costs less.
Discussion about the brand,
and nothing anyone can penalise.
Here's the part that has nothing to do with us. Prospects search the name before they buy. Engines read discussion before they decide what a brand is. Right now both find nothing.
So you have two choices. Every off-site asset carrying a link and a liability. Or a branded report of threads that name the client, with nothing in them to disavow.
Search the client's name yourself first. If the answer is nothing that looks human, you already know what this is for.
P.S. — Paying for no link feels backwards. It stops feeling that way the first time you clean up a footprint. Both Social products sit on one catalogue. The account is free, and both prices print on their buttons.
No card required. See every tool and every price before you spend anything.
