BacklinkGPT is an AI link-building tool founded in January 2023 by digital marketer Samuel Ju. The platform automates the outreach side of backlink acquisition for SEO teams and site owners.
The tool reads a site to identify target pages, scans search results and competitor backlinks for opportunities, evaluates and filters prospects, finds a contact at the target site, and drafts a personalized pitch grounded in that prospect's own content, using large language models rather than a generic template. Users can approve or edit each AI-generated pitch before it goes out, and the platform tracks live backlinks for drops or nofollow changes from a single dashboard.
BacklinkGPT fits SEO freelancers and agencies running link-building campaigns for clients. Paid plans start at $149 per month for the Starter tier (2,000 prospect credits, one connected account), rising to $399 per month for Growth and $999 per month for Scale, with a 7-day free trial and additional connected accounts priced at $19 per month each.
BacklinkGPT starts at $149, which is 240% above the SEO median of $43.8 a month across the 68 priced tools we list in that category.
The cheapest paid option in SEO starts at $7 and the most expensive at $390.
