How Link Building for Search GPT Doubled AI Search Traffic in Just 3 Months

A few months ago, we offered one of our clients a brand-new service — Link Building for Search GPT. Unlike traditional link building, this strategy is specifically designed to enhance a brand’s visibility in ChatGPT, Perplexity.ai, and other neural search systems that are shaping the way millions of users find information today.

Our goal was to increase brand visibility in AI responses, improve traffic quality, and attract new leads from this emerging search channel.

Over the course of 3 months, we executed a complete cycle of strategic work:

🔍 Research and strategy

• Conducted in-depth research on the client’s business, niche, and competitors already showing up in AI responses.
• Developed a tailored link-building strategy focused on AI-friendly backlinks that influence how neural search engines generate answers.
• Created an action plan to build the client’s knowledge graph.

🔗 Link placement
