Who's talking about you without linking to you?
Local blogs, news sites, and partners mention your business all the time — and forget the link. Each one is a backlink you've already earned. This scan finds them, quotes them, and hands you the outreach email.
How it works
Ahrefs and Semrush lock unlinked-mention tracking behind $99+/mo plans. Your scan is free.
We search your name
A live Google sweep for your exact business name, excluding your own site — then we filter out socials and directory listings that don't count.
We read every page
Each remaining page gets fetched and read: does it actually mention you, and does it link back to your domain anywhere?
You get the outreach list
Every unlinked mention with the exact quote, the page link, and a copy-paste email. You're already cited — asking for the link is the easy part.
Common questions
Why do unlinked mentions matter?
Links are still one of the strongest local ranking signals, and AI engines use them to verify your entity. A site that already mentions you has done the hard part — converting that mention into a link is the highest-percentage outreach in SEO, with reply rates far above cold pitching.
How do I actually get them to add the link?
Short and grateful beats formal. Use the email template in your report: thank them for the mention, ask for the link, offer to share their piece. Most site owners say yes — it costs them nothing and helps their readers.
Why don't I see Yelp, Facebook, or other directories in my results?
We deliberately filter them out. Directory profiles and social pages mention every business they list — they're citations, not editorial mentions, and they're covered by our Citation Checker instead.
I got zero unlinked mentions. Is the tool broken?
More likely you have few editorial mentions, period — which is its own finding. Getting written about (local press, sponsorships, community events) is the step before link reclamation. That's exactly the visibility layer Locafy builds.
