Link building that starts from AI citation data

Your link building services should start where AI engines already look for answers. AirOps Citations lists every URL cited across AI responses for your tracked prompts, with citation share for each one.
‍
Those sources include industry publications, niche blogs, listicles, comparison and review pages, and resource pages. AI answers spread 80-90% of citation share across many low-share domains.

Link building services built on this data reach that long tail along with the high-share domains.

Nick Fairbairn
SVP of Growth, Chime

“We set out to change the narrative around Sanity in AI search, not just show up more often. Staying the brand the models name most, and climbing in the categories that matter, is exactly the signal we were after, and we can see it happening week to week.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What do link building services include?

Link building services include target research, outreach to editors and site owners, placement content, quality review, and reporting. With AirOps, targets come from the pages AI engines cite for your prompts, including pages that mention competitors without you. People review every placement before it goes live, and reporting shows the impact on AI visibility. Your team runs it on platform workflows or through a fully managed service.

How can I tell if link building services are safe to use?

Safe link building services earn placements on relevant pages through outreach and editorial review, and they never sell links. For any provider, the deciding check is whether AI models cite the links it builds. Apply that test to a link building agency or a US-based link building service before you sign. A quality link building service shows you the citations its placements earn.

What are the alternatives to link building marketplaces?

The main alternative is earned placement through outreach to the publishers AI engines already cite. You can hire a link building consultant or use a backlinking service that pitches editors directly. AirOps supports both paths with platform workflows that find citation gaps and contacts. A fully managed service handles daily publisher outreach, content development, and reporting on placements.

How much do link building services cost?

Link building services cost more as the number of placements pursued and your category's competitiveness rise. Content creation for each placement and the scope of strategy and reporting also shape the price. AirOps delivers the work through platform workflows or a fully managed service. A scoping call sets the plan for your program.

How do you measure link building services in AI search?

You measure link building services in AI search through citations, mention rate, and share of voice on priority prompts. AirOps logs each placement as a timestamped event next to visibility and citation data. Campaigns compare a baseline with a post-action window, and Analytics shows rankings and Google Search Console data alongside.

Are backlinks still important for AI search?

Yes, backlinks still matter, and AI search adds a second test: whether the linking page gets cited in AI answers. Placements on cited pages put your brand in the sources AI engines read before they answer. A backlink building service that targets those pages supports rankings and AI visibility together.
