Distribution log
Rank needs a small list of places where the product naturally belongs.
After reading the link-building article teaser, the real takeaway was simple: we need repeatable places where Rank already makes sense before we ask for a link. The best targets are the pages where SEO tools, Mac apps, or founder workflows are already being collected.
Target types worth hitting first
- SEO tool roundups that already include rank trackers
- Mac app directories and curated macOS lists
- “best tools for Webflow / Shopify / Framer” list posts
- Search Console or low-CTR workflow resources
- technical SEO tool pages that compare crawlers and decision tools
- founder newsletters that cover distribution and marketing tools
- product communities that collect small, useful desktop apps
- comparison pages where Rank can be framed as the decision layer
- public audit / benchmark pages that need a clear next step
- partner pages from adjacent tools that solve the same problem differently
The message we keep repeating
Rank helps you decide what to fix first. That line is short enough for lists, directories, outreach, and comparison pages, which makes it the right anchor for link-building too.
How this turns into links
- use one public page as the reference point
- keep the ask tiny and specific
- offer a description they can paste in without rewriting it
- match the pitch to the category instead of sending the same paragraph everywhere
