Replace your link building stack with Uprankly AI Link Builder.
SEO tools, contact finders, email outreach apps, spreadsheets, and monitoring dashboards — covered by one connected system. AI qualifies sites, drafts pitches, classifies replies, and follows up — you review and approve every placement.
The Current Way
- Research → Export → Spreadsheet → Manual vetting
- Contact finder subscription for verified emails
- Separate outreach tool with its own inbox
- Scattered inboxes across campaigns
- Manual checking for removed links
- Tracking spread across 4–6 disconnected tools
Disconnected tools break prospect momentum and leak team hours.

One tool. One dataset. AI works where manual work slows you down.
Know which pages need links.
Upload your domain and up to five competitors. Link Planner maps your backlink gap by page — so you focus budget on pages that'll actually move rankings.
Page-level gap analysis
See exactly which pages are behind competitors, not just domain-level metrics.
Competitor backlink mapping
Compare up to five competitors. Spot the referring domains you're missing.
Free to start
Run a gap analysis before spending anything. Show the data to your CMO.
Discover, qualify, and enrich — in one pipeline.
Search by keyword, analyse competitor backlinks, match lookalike sites, or browse 50,000+ pre-vetted publishers. AI scores each site — you review before adding to a campaign. Verified contacts attach automatically.
Multi-vector discovery
Keyword search, competitor gaps, competitor monitoring, lookalikes, and the 50k+ vetted directory.
DR and traffic filters
Set minimum thresholds so you only see sites worth pitching. No low-authority noise.
Pre-vetted site inventory
Every site in the database is screened for quality. No PBNs, no link farms.
Get AI to vet every site against your standards.
AI scores every prospect on critical factors — editorial quality, traffic patterns, spam signals, and relevance. Each site gets a written assessment. You approve or reject before any pitch goes out.
9-factor AI scoring
Editorial fit, traffic quality, topical relevance, spam signals, and five more — scored with written reasoning.
Approve before pitch
No outreach goes to a site you haven't vetted. Your company's domain stays protected.
Batch review on your schedule
Review a queue of scored prospects when you have time. Not in real-time.
Send pitches. Move on with your day.
Connect Gmail, Outlook, or SMTP. Run personalised sequences. AI classifies every reply — interested, not interested, OOO, referral. Follow-ups pause on response. You handle the conversations that earn links.
Personalised email sequences
AI drafts an opener for each prospect based on their actual content. You review before it sends.
Connect unlimited email accounts
Rotate sends across inboxes to protect deliverability. No tool-level sending caps.
AI reply classification and drafting
All replies land in one inbox. AI classifies intent, routes referrals, drafts responses for positive replies. You send.
Enable the AI Agent on any campaign.
Set target pages and prospect criteria once. The agent finds sites, qualifies them, and prepares outreach daily. When a site migration takes your attention for two weeks, you come back to qualified prospects — not a dead campaign.
Always-on prospecting
The agent watches your keywords, competitors, and lookalike sites every day. New opportunities enter your pipeline automatically.
Outreach and follow-ups, queued for review
Qualified prospects get personalised outreach drafted from your inbox. Follow-ups run on schedule, pause on reply. You review before send.
Every placement approved by you
The agent never places a link without your sign-off. It surfaces opportunities for review — you decide which sites make the cut.
Monitor every placed link. Trigger recovery instantly.
Every placed link is checked daily — removals, anchor changes, nofollow switches, redirects, page errors. When something changes, trigger recovery outreach using your original contact and thread.
Automatic verification on a schedule
Link presence, anchor text, follow/nofollow status, and placement location — all tracked without manual checking.
Change detection and alerts
If a link is removed, switched to nofollow, or the anchor changes — you know what changed and when.
Recovery outreach from the alert
Trigger a recovery email to the original contact directly from the alert. No new campaign setup.
Show your CMO what link building delivers.
Track links acquired, pages improved, and campaign progress in one dashboard. Export a summary when your CMO asks — what was pitched, what's placed, what's being monitored.
Links acquired and pages improved
Every placed link tracked by domain, DR, anchor, and target page. See what moved.
Campaign progress
Outreach sent, replies received, placements confirmed. One view, no spreadsheet rebuilds.
Export when asked
Generate a report showing what was done, what it cost, and what it's protecting. Budget conversations start with data.
Stop stitching tools together.
