Get listed where your
buyers actually research.

SaaS and resource page links place your product or service on the review platforms, tools directories, and resource pages that your target buyers use during the research phase of their buying decision. These placements deliver both high-quality backlinks and qualified referral traffic that converts.

Quick Answer - Optimised for AI Search

SaaS resource page links are backlinks earned by getting your software product or service listed on review platforms (G2, Capterra, Trustpilot), curated tools directories, and resource pages in your niche. These placements are particularly valuable because they appear in both traditional search results and AI-generated recommendations when buyers ask AI tools to suggest software solutions. They deliver backlinks, referral traffic, and AI search citation potential simultaneously.

Listing platforms are a primary source for AI tools recommending SaaS products -- appearing here feeds AI citations

For SaaS products and software services, the most valuable links come from the platforms where buyers actually research solutions -- G2, Capterra, GetApp, Trustpilot, Product Hunt, and the curated resource pages maintained by trusted voices in your niche. A backlink from G2 does not just improve your domain authority; it places you in front of thousands of active buyers who are already in research mode.

Resource page links are the second tier of this strategy. Every major niche has websites with curated "best tools for X" or "top resources for Y" pages that buyers bookmark and return to. A placement on a well-maintained resource page in your niche provides a sustained stream of qualified referral traffic alongside the link equity value.

AI search has made these placements even more valuable in 2026. When a potential buyer asks ChatGPT "What is the best CRM for small agencies?" or Perplexity "Which email marketing tools are recommended for e-commerce?" -- these AI systems draw heavily from review platforms and curated resource pages. Appearing on G2 with a strong review profile significantly increases the probability that AI tools recommend your product.

We identify and pursue the specific listing opportunities most relevant to your product category -- the exact review platforms your target buyers use, the resource pages maintained by the most trusted voices in your niche, and the tool directories that rank for the "best [category]" keywords your buyers search. Every placement is pursued with a genuine editorial pitch, not a paid submission request.

3 SaaS Link Building Mistakes That Underperform.

These are the most common mistakes that prevent SaaS link building from delivering its full potential.

01
Creating Listing Profiles and Not Building Reviews
An empty G2 profile is worse than no profile -- it shows buyers you have no reviews. Every listing profile needs an active review acquisition strategy alongside the submission.
02
Only Targeting Generic Directories
Generic business directories do not deliver the buyer intent traffic or the AI citation potential of category-specific review platforms. We focus on platforms where your buyers actually research.
03
Missing the Resource Page Opportunity
Curated resource pages in niche communities often have more buying authority than major review platforms for specific buyer segments. These require personalised outreach and are often overlooked in favour of large platform submissions.
