I found 30 mentions with no link and fixed it

Ran a search for my brand name minus my own domain. 30 sites had name-dropped my tool in passing — zero links. Free recognition, wasted.

Email:
— "Thanks for the shout-out in [post]! Tiny ask — mind making my name clickable so your readers can find us? Here's the URL."

No pitch, no favor, just completing something they already started. 18 of 30 added the link within a week.

Then 4 asked if I'd write something deeper. Unlinked mentions are the laziest link wins on earth.

Go search your own name.
