Key Takeaways

  • Mentionable aggregates the catalogs of the main netlinking marketplaces, including Paper.club, Getalink, PRnews, 1erePlace, Ereferer, Soumettre, LemmiLink and Linkavista: more than 150,000 links for sale in one place.
  • The catalog is crossed with your own tracking: you only see the sites that AI engines cite, consult or read during their searches on your questions.
  • Each site gets an impact score built from its weight in AI answers: how often it is cited, consulted, read during searches, by how many AI engines and on how many questions.
  • For each site, the best price across marketplaces and every offer side by side. You order on the marketplace, with your own account.
  • Link tracking then shows whether the AI engines actually use the links you bought to cite your brand, link by link and campaign by campaign.

Your agency sends you a netlinking proposal: 20 sites, authority scores, prices. It looks serious. Then you open ChatGPT and Perplexity on the questions your buyers ask, and click the sources. None of the 20 sites is there.

A link on a site the AI engines never read does nothing for your AI visibility. The question is not "which sites are strong?" but "which sites do the AI engines quote on my topic, and which of them sell a link?". Nobody could answer it without checking ten marketplaces by hand, domain by domain.

The Backlinks page answers it for you.

More than 150,000 links, crossed with your AI citations

Mentionable aggregates the catalogs of the main netlinking marketplaces: Paper.club, Getalink, PRnews, 1erePlace, Ereferer, Soumettre, LemmiLink and Linkavista. Together, that is more than 150,000 links for sale: sponsored articles, guest posts, link insertions in existing pages.

On its own, a catalog that size is noise. So Mentionable never shows it in full. It crosses it with your tracking: every site that ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews or AI Mode cites, consults or reads on your questions is checked against the catalog. What is left is a short list: the sites that weigh in your AI answers and that you can get a link on this week.

Ranked by impact, not by authority

Each site gets an impact score, calculated from your own data:

  • Cited: how often the AI engines show the site as a source in their answers.
  • Consulted: how often they read it without showing it.
  • Read during searches: how often it comes up in the web searches the AI engines run before answering.
  • AI engines: how many different engines rely on it.
  • Questions: on how many of your questions it appears.

The breakdown is always visible. When a site ranks first, you can tell your team why: "Perplexity and ChatGPT cite it on 9 of our questions, and it names two of our competitors."

The best price, every offer side by side

For each site, Mentionable shows the best price across all marketplaces and the number of offers. Open the site to see every marketplace that sells it, with its price, side by side. A €400 sponsored article on one marketplace can cost €250 on another: you see it before ordering.

You can filter by AI engine, by period and by marketplace, search a domain, and sort by impact, price or name. A typical shortlist takes a few minutes: sort by impact, drop what is over budget, keep the sites that cite your competitors.

The full picture of each site

Open a site and you get the context to decide: the trend of its citations over time, the questions it appears on, the AI engines that use it, the exact pages they cite, and the competitors named on those pages. When a comparison page cites three of your competitors on your main questions, buying a link in it, or getting added to it, is an obvious move.

Then check that the links work

Buying is half the job. In Link tracking, add the links you bought, with their price and purchase date, grouped by campaign if you want. On every scan, Mentionable checks whether an AI engine used each URL as a source when citing your brand, and on which questions.

After a few weeks, you know which purchases moved your AI visibility and which ones did not. Your next netlinking budget goes to the sites and formats that work.

Buying a link or earning a mention?

Not every cited site sells links. The best comparisons and trade media often do not. For those, mention campaigns contact the editors for you and get your brand added to the pages AI engines already cite. Most brands combine the two: buy where it is quick and worth it, earn the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Backlinks page show?

The sites that AI engines rely on for your questions and that sell a link on a netlinking marketplace. For each one: an impact score, how often ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Google's AI features cite or read it, the questions it shows up on, the competitors it names, the best price and the number of marketplace offers.

Where do the prices come from?

Mentionable aggregates the catalogs of the main netlinking marketplaces: Paper.club, Getalink, PRnews, 1erePlace, Ereferer, Soumettre, LemmiLink and Linkavista. That is more than 150,000 links for sale, mostly sponsored articles, guest posts and link insertions. When several marketplaces sell the same site, you see each offer and the best price.

Why not just buy links on high authority sites?

Because a strong authority score does not mean the AI engines read the site. A trade blog with a modest score that Perplexity cites on eight of your questions is worth more for your AI visibility than a big generalist site no AI engine ever quotes on your topic. The impact score ranks sites by their weight in the answers your buyers read, not by a generic SEO metric.

How is the impact score calculated?

From your tracking data only: how often the site is cited as a visible source, how often it is consulted without being shown, how often it is read during the searches AI engines run before answering, how many AI engines use it and on how many of your questions. Each part of the score is shown, so you know why a site ranks where it does.

Does Mentionable sell the links?

No. Mentionable shows you where to buy and at what price. You order on the marketplace, with your own account, and pay the marketplace directly.

How do I know if a link I bought worked?

Add it to Link tracking with its price and purchase date, alone or in a campaign. Mentionable then shows, on every scan, whether an AI engine used that URL as a source when citing your brand, on which questions and how many times. A link no AI engine uses after a few weeks is a signal not to buy more of the same.

Is it included in my offer?

Yes, the Backlinks page and link tracking are part of every brand and agency offer, with a 7-day free trial and no card. To test a list of domains without an account, use the [free backlink checker](/en/features/backlink-checker).
