How I Used AI to Automate SEO Backlinks for My SaaS (Without Breaking Google’s Rules)

Many SEO hacks out there can feel spammy, think private blog networks, fake guest posts, or questionable Fiverr gigs. That’s not my style.

I wanted a clean approach, one that I wouldn’t mind showing during a Google penalty audit. So, I created a small script that combines OpenAI with a custom database of startup directories.

Here’s how the system works:

1. I provide GPT with a concise version of my product description.
2. It rewrites the description based on the niche and tone of each site.
3. My script then automatically submits it to over 500 niche directories over a few days (with rate-limiting and randomness).

All links are live profile-style pages, nothing shady here. These are real listings on legitimate websites, like startup directories, AI tool aggregators, mobile app showcases, and more.

Some people may laugh at directory submissions, but that’s what helped me get indexed and rank quickly. There was no outreach and no content marketing, just quiet visibility.

The best part? I now launched this tool and offer this service to other SaaS founders as well. They simply fill out one form, and voilà—100+ live listings within a week.
