Earn or reclaim at least one quality mention / link

What this is

This is a recurring syllabus check in SAEO’s SEO/AEO curriculum for brochure and local business sites — not a custom Growth Plan move. Focus: Earn or reclaim at least one quality mention / link. One relevant mention beats a blast of directory spam. You (or your client) complete the work, then tick it off when it is genuinely finished. When you are ready, SAEO can open Backlinks.

Why this matters

Reclaim unlinked brand mentions, partner pages, or local sponsorships this period.

What it will do

• Open Backlinks in SAEO to work this task with the right context.
• Do the work on the live WordPress site (or in the linked SAEO tool) for money pages first.
• Skip utility pages like privacy, checkout, and thank-you unless the task is specifically technical.
• Tick the checklist only when you could explain the outcome to a client in one sentence.
• Revisit this each maintenance period so the site does not quietly drift.
