Linkable Asset Creation
Want backlinks that feel earned? You need a page people want to cite. Linkable assets are pages like original statistics, data studies, calculators, templates, checklists, free tools, and comparison tables. When the asset matches a real search need, writers and editors link to it inside their articles, list posts, and resource pages. After the asset is live, we promote it through manual outreach, resource page link building, and when it fits, digital PR.
Linkable asset ideas that get cited
These formats work because they support writers. They give a quick number, a quick definition, or a quick tool that makes an article better. The best asset is one that matches your niche, supports your product or service, and stays useful for a long time.
Statistics pages
Curated stats with sources, update dates, and definitions. These earn editorial links fast when the niche is active. Pair with digital PR backlinks.
Free tools and calculators
Simple calculators, scorecards, and generators. These pull links from “best tools” pages and blog posts. Pair with resource page links.
Templates and checklists
Copy, paste, use. Templates earn links because they save time. Great for outreach to bloggers and educators. Pair with manual outreach.
Glossary hubs
Short definitions, examples, and internal links to deeper pages. These support AEO style queries and win quick citations. Connect it to your Learning Center.
Comparison pages
“X vs Y” pages and tool comparisons. These earn links from review blogs and buyers doing research. Useful for SaaS and agencies.
Resource libraries
Curated lists, datasets, and links to best-in-class resources. Great for earning natural citations and improving internal links.
