Marketer Borja Obeso published "BACKLINKS MAXXING with Claude Code," ranking 69 backlink tactics behind 133k AI mentions for his product.
- S-tier tactics: exchanging relevant editorial links, joining business networks to find link partners, matching links to surrounding topics, giving each placement a purpose, tracking delivered links, and getting into buyer-facing listicles — including mining the roundups AI cites and finding missing buyer needs to justify inclusion.
- Lily Ray, quoting the thread, cautions against using GSC's GenAI chart to prove backlink ROI, since Google kept rolling out new AI features for branded queries through Sept/Oct, muddying attribution.
The thread funnels into Distribb, the author's AI SEO tool for buyer-intent content, link exchanges, and AI-search distribution.
