THE PLATFORM

Everything between target page and live link.

Strategy, sprints, pipeline, quality gates, anchors, roles and reporting. One platform for the link building of every client you run.

One module for every step.

From the first target page to the report your client reads. Each module does one job and hands over to the next.

SEO Strategy in ECHION: target pages per market with priority, keyword focus, value and links built.
01

SEO Strategy

Set target pages, anchor plans and quality thresholds per market, with overrides per partner or client where needed.

The direction of every client lives in one place, so nobody builds links from an outdated brief.

Sprint Planner in ECHION: open sprints per market with partner, article quota, budget used and status.
02

Sprint Planner

Plan sprints per market, each with a budget and a link target.

You see per client what is planned, what is spent and what is still open while you can still act on it.

Pipeline in ECHION: placements by status, with domain, market, sprint and metrics.
03

Pipeline

Every placement moves through one pipeline, from proposal to approval to live, with the discussion on the placement itself.

One approval queue across all your clients replaces the status sheet and the mail thread.

Publisher Database in ECHION: domains per market with authority metrics, traffic, outbound links and score.
04

Publisher Database

Every publisher you work with in one database, with classic metrics and AI citation data per domain.

You judge a domain once and use that knowledge for every client, including the check on duplicate domains.

Marketplace in ECHION: search and filter publisher sites by source, category and metrics.
05

Marketplace

Browse publishers from the ECHION network and add placements to your pipeline. The price of a placement is visible before you order.

You extend your reach without sourcing and vetting every publisher yourself.

Anchor Library in ECHION: the anchor bank per market, grouped by anchor type, with target URL, source and status.
06

Anchor Library

Anchor banks per client, loaded from your placement history and checked against your anchor rules on every new placement.

Anchor profiles stay balanced across partners, without a separate sheet per client.

Read: Anchor planning across multiple clients

Partner Scorecard in ECHION: score per partner from acceptance, live rate, index rate, timeliness and anchor compliance.
07

Partner Scorecard

Quality scores per partner, based on the placements they delivered.

You decide who gets the next sprint on results instead of on impression.

Read: Scoring partners on what they delivered

Dashboard in ECHION: links target, budget, live links, pending approvals, quality score, sprint progress by market and anchor mix.
08

Dashboard

The state of every client at a glance: sprints, budgets and placements in progress.

You start the day knowing where to act, without opening a single sheet.

Impact in ECHION: position, clicks, impressions and CTR per link, before and after publication.
09

Impact

Search Console impact per target page, next to AI citation data per publisher.

You can show a client what the links did, not only that they went live.

Read: Measuring what a link did

Archive in ECHION: closed sprints and rejected or cancelled placements, kept read-only.
10

Archive

Every past placement, with the audit trail of every decision made on it.

When a client asks about a link from last year, the answer is already there.

Read: Why rejected placements stay on record

ENFORCE

Gates, not guidelines

Twelve automated checks on every placement: publisher metrics, anchor rules, duplicate domains across all your clients, budget caps. Partners see exactly what fails and why. Nothing substandard reaches your queue.

MANAGER · PARTNER · CLIENT

Clients see results. Partners see their lane.

The client view is read-only, and you set per client what it shows. Switch off partner names and budgets, and your client sees results only. Each partner sees their own markets, never your other partners. Your internal discussion stays internal.

Q3 Link Building & AI Citation Report

Exports match what the client view shows.
THE GEO LAYER

Buy the domains AI already trusts.

Every publisher in your database carries AI citation data next to its classic metrics. Before you spend any money, you see whether ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews actually use that domain as a source. Search shifts to answers; your link buying shifts with it.
