One ranked list of actions from eight sources. Approving records a decision; nothing is published or edited.

    Refresh /notebooks/dot-grid for "a5 dot grid notebook"

    AI answers name two other stores for dot grid notebooks, while this page never says what paper it uses. Seen in the stored AI answers and the pages they cite. Presence in AI answers, not traffic.

  2. 02HighPensKeyword enginePage refreshEffort M

    Merge pages for cluster refillable pens → /pens/refillable

    Two pages target the same searches, so neither holds a position. One page keeps the keywords and the other redirects to it.

Showing 2 of 2 · order: band, then effort S to L, then the source's own sort key. Skipped items return when their evidence changes.

What it does

One workspace for everything that moves a ranking.

(1)Weekly rank ledgerEvery tracked keyword, week over week, with movers, new terms and dropped terms.
(2)Keyword-to-page mapOne box per page worth targeting, with its keywords assigned to it, so two pages never compete for the same search.
(3)Plan ranked by payoffConcrete actions with the reasoning written out. A person approves each one before any work starts.
(4)Links, prospects and outreachBacklinks, competitor link gaps and prospects, with outreach sent from your own Gmail. A person reviews every draft before it sends.
(5)AI answer visibilityWhether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Google's AI answers name your business, and which sites they name instead.

Work and rankings sit side by side. LinkBack does not present one as the cause of the other.

Swipe for more. Also in LinkBack: technical site checks, internal link suggestions, page strength with a written explanation, review summaries, and a Brain that holds each client's voice, catalog and rules. All cards show sample data.

How it works

Six steps, repeated every week.

  1. 01ConnectConnect Search Console and Analytics, and Gmail if you want outreach.
  2. 02MapEach keyword gets the one page that is meant to rank for it.
  3. 03ReviewRead the Plan: ranked actions, each with its reason.
  4. 04ApproveA person approves or skips each action.Nothing starts until a person approves it.
  5. 05LogWhat changed, on which page and why, goes in the work log.
  6. 06MeasureNext week's ledger shows what moved, beside the logged work.
A chain of glass links, alternating clear and blue, rising from lower left to upper right on black

Every link earned, every change logged, every week measured.
