Link Building

Rankings are earned twice: by what you publish and by who points at it. Link Building runs both sides for one brand – articles researched, written, and published continuously, earning contextual backlinks from relevant sites as the library grows. You approve the plan; the publishing happens without you.

It is a paid add-on for one brand, on top of your plan. The price is shown on the Link Building page before you activate it. Cancel any time – everything already published stays yours.

Find it at /link-building (or Studios → Link Building).

Starting

Tell it where the articles should live – your domain – and activate. The engine researches keywords worth owning for your market, plans a publishing calendar, and starts writing. The first articles typically publish within days, and links accumulate as the library grows – expect compounding over months, not a spike in week one.

Where articles go

  • Connected CMS (WordPress and the other platforms The AI CMO publishes to): articles publish straight to your site. The same connection your Writing Studio uses – if it can publish there, so can Link Building.
  • No CMS connected: every article lands in your Library, full content and images included, ready to publish wherever you want.

Either way the articles are yours – written for your brand, on your domain, earning links for you.

The calendar

The studio shows a publishing calendar: articles already published, and the planned queue ahead. Until an article is written, you stay in control of it:

  • Change the keyword – click a planned day and swap what that article should target.
  • Brief the writer – add per-article instructions ("write for beginners, include a setup checklist") and the writer follows them.

Published articles are listed with their links; anything published to your own site links out from your pages, never to them.

The Links table shows every backlink earned: the source page, the anchor, its domain rating, and its status – verified, not yet verified, or newly created. Lost links drop out; the count you see is links that exist right now.

With Google Search Console connected for the brand, each published article shows the clicks and impressions it earned in Google over the last 28 days, with the total across your articles above the list.

Settings

Three tabs, editable any time:

  • Business – what the brand does, so articles stay on-topic.
  • Audience – who reads them, so the writing lands.
  • Articles – tone, length, and whether articles publish to your CMS automatically or wait in the Library.

Your agents know about it

Autonomous specialists see the program – articles published, links earned – so their content plans complement it instead of duplicating it. Ask in chat ("how is link building doing?") for the current status any time.

Stopping

Stop ends the add-on at the end of the current billing period – articles keep publishing until then, and everything already published and every link already earned stays. Your platform plan is untouched.
