Shortlists start on lists
“Best CRM for startups”, “best project management tools” — buyers build shortlists from comparison pages. Being on the right ones matters more than raw link count.
Industries · SaaS
SaaS link building, on the publications your buyers research in.
SaaS buyers compare, shortlist and read reviews long before they book a demo. We place your product on the software, business and productivity publications they read — and on the “best tools” lists that decide shortlists.
What we know
What works for software brands.
Feature pages need links too
Homepages attract links naturally; feature, integration and use-case pages rarely do. That's where placed links move rankings.
Audience over authority
A link from a site your buyers actually read — founders, marketers, IT teams — beats a higher DR on a site they never visit.
AI answers are a new shortlist
Assistants answering “which tool should I use?” lean on the same roundups. List placements now work in two places at once.
Angles we pitch
Content editors say yes to.
The angle decides whether an editor accepts the piece and whether readers click. These are the topics we build around for this sector.
- Remote work
- Productivity
- Team collaboration
- Sales & CRM
- Marketing automation
- Customer support
- Startup tooling
- Integrations
- Data & analytics
- Workflow automation
- HR & hiring
- Small business software

Questions
For saas & b2b software.
Do you work with early-stage SaaS?
Yes. Pay per placement with no minimum order makes it easy to start small, test a few placements and scale what works.
Can you target feature and integration pages?
Yes — that's usually where placed links make the biggest difference. You set the target pages in your brief.
Do you offer SaaS link building without a retainer?
Yes. Every placement is priced individually and you pay per placement, with no retainer and no minimum order.
Which pages should SaaS links point to?
Usually feature, integration, use-case and comparison pages (“alternatives to X”, “X vs Y”), plus the guides that support them. Homepages tend to attract links on their own.
Which languages and markets do you cover?
English, German and French are our core markets, with an inventory we maintain continuously. We also work in any other language on request — Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Turkish, Japanese and more. We source and pitch publications in their own language.
Do you keep our work confidential?
Yes. We never name clients publicly or disclose which sites we placed for whom. We are happy to sign your NDA before you share a brief.
