Linkless Links
Linkless Links
Description
Mentions of a brand, person, or entity that don't include a hyperlink but still contribute to authority and visibility in AI systems.
The Linkless Links definition
These are mentions of a brand or person that do not include a hyperlink but still contribute to authority and visibility, especially in the eyes of Google's Knowledge Graph and other AI systems.
How Jason Barnard uses Linkless Links definition
We deliberately build and track these mentions on platforms like podcasts and review sites, ensuring the entity is named and described clearly, even without a clickable link, to reinforce identity and credibility.
Why Linkless Links matters to digital marketers
AI and search engines can increasingly connect mentions to entities without needing a link. If your brand is being talked about but isn't optimized for linkless recognition, you are missing out on massive algorithmic trust signals.
