In the beginning, the easiest ones to get are
- directories
- social media profiles
- launch platforms
- cooperations
Then you'd ideally start with guest blogging (reaching out to fellow makers for example)
@fscholz thanks for sharing! so you start requesting backlinks to your homepage directly, without waiting for the blog? do you have any tips on securing backlinks from directories?
@natalia_toth Yes, so for most directories, links will point to the homepage. That's usually the expected convention. Therefore, you also don't need to have a blog ready for that. There are tons of directories from general business ones, to local ones and niche-focused ones, like eg. AI directories. You don't have to submit your website to every one. Typically you submit your startup / website yourself, so securing them is easy.
For other links, I would always pick an appropriate link target - so the most relevant page. With that being said, you can never go wrong with your homepage. So if you don't have a better target, use the home page.
I'm super interested in this topic. Now I'm trying to submit our product to as many startup/product registries as we can! Also interested in what other makers are doing 👀
Hi @natalia_toth,
I believe you can get organic backlinks by: adding content to your landing page or blog, social media pages, launching directories then you can get promoted content or backlinks ..
What is your idea on that?

@abdellah_abbous thanks for joining the discussion! how much content do you normally create before starting reaching out for backlinks? I heard from an expert that you'd need 30-40 blog posts and it sounds like a lot
Best of luck with your launch!
There is only one way to get backline from others: Write great copies and ask the relevant website to quote you.
Write more and let them discover, otherwise nobody will link just the product without any compelling reason.
