SaaS and software
SaaS backlinks earned by turning product data into press coverage: benchmark stories, expert commentary, and links that strengthen your comparison pages.
Overview
Software companies sit on the best link building raw material in any industry: usage data. Anonymized patterns from your own platform, like how teams adopt features or what buyers actually pay, can become benchmark reports no journalist can get anywhere else. Most SaaS companies never use it.
We build SaaS backlinks through that asset advantage plus the standard earned routes: expert commentary from founders and product leads, reactive quotes on tech news, and full data-led campaigns. Coverage lands in outlets like TechCrunch, Business Insider, and Forbes as well as the trade press your buyers read.
Can you get links pointing directly at our pricing or comparison pages?
Occasionally, when a story genuinely references them, but expecting editors to link commercial pages is how campaigns fail. The dependable pattern is earning links to a research or resource page and passing authority internally. Comparison pages rank because the domain and the linking section got stronger, not because a journalist cited a feature table.
Service detail
A benchmark built from your own platform, such as average onboarding time across hundreds of accounts or plan-migration trends, is defensible in a way a commissioned survey never is. Journalists treat first-party product data as original reporting material. The requirements are real methodology, honest sample sizes, and aggregation that protects customer privacy. We help you find the publishable cut.
The money pages in SaaS, from "best X software" roundups to competitor-alternative pages, almost never attract editorial links; no journalist links to a comparison table. The reliable play is indirect: earn links to research, reports, and expert resources on your domain, then route that authority to commercial pages through internal linking. We plan target pages around this reality instead of pretending editors will link to pricing.
Developer and IT readers approach trade press skeptically. Claims need numbers, benchmarks need reproducible method notes, and commentary needs an author who has built something. So we position engineers and product leads as sources alongside executives. A staff engineer quoted on an infrastructure story is more credible to the editor and the reader alike.
Angle families that keep working for software brands:
Each angle is mapped to a target page set before anything is pitched, and monthly scopes start at $3,300 for a minimum of five editorial links (see pricing).
Managed delivery
You do not need to manage journalist outreach, write the pitch, or chase live URLs. Send the site and target pages, and the campaign desk handles the rest.
We work with your team to find aggregated usage patterns that are publishable, defensible, and genuinely newsworthy.
The data becomes a report or study page on your domain with clear methodology, designed as the link target.
Stories go to journalists by beat: business desks for market angles, developer and trade outlets for technical ones.
Internal links carry the earned authority from the study to comparison, feature, and pricing pages.

Yes, through the other routes. Founder commentary on funding news, category trends, and competitor moves earns links without any dataset, and small surveys or public-data analyses can stand in for product data. The usage-data advantage grows as you do; early-stage campaigns lean on speed and expert positioning instead.
Everything is aggregated and anonymized before it leaves your systems, with minimum sample thresholds so no customer is identifiable. You approve the dataset and methodology before any pitch goes out. Journalists receive the analysis, never raw data, and the method is stated openly in the asset because editors check.
Start from the gap, not a universal number. Pull referring domains for the pages ranking on your target terms in Ahrefs or Semrush, compare them against your own, and set velocity from there. Niche tools sometimes need a dozen strong links; CRM-scale terms take sustained campaigns over several quarters.
