Rank Higher With Backlinks Money Can’t Buy

In over 10 years of doing SEO for Shopify stores at our agency Digital Darts, nothing has moved rankings like backlinks from digital PR. When a journalist quotes you in a story, you earn an editorial link from a real publication. Google weighs those the heaviest, and AI search reads them as a sign your brand is worth quoting.

Backlinks are also the one ranking signal you can’t control from inside Shopify. The catch has always been finding the right opportunity before the window closes.

SEO Backlinks does the finding for you. It watches journalist source requests across HARO, SourceBottle, X and more, and matches them to your store. It also mines the sites already linking to your competitors, so there is a second list of prospects waiting whenever the press requests go quiet.

Every match arrives ready to act on. You see the outlet, its Domain Rating and the deadline in your own timezone, so you know in seconds whether it is worth your reply. Send the pitch, log it, and track it from sent to published.

It replaces the agency retainer with a few minutes a day.

Grow with SEO Backlinks: Digital Darts

SEO Backlinks gives you two ways to earn links, both feeding one tracker.

Reactive PR watches journalist source requests across HARO and SOS, SourceBottle, Connectively, MentionMatch, and X, then matches each one to the keywords you care about. Matching requests land in your feed within minutes, ranked and filterable by deadline and domain rating, so you can pitch a quote and earn a link when the story runs.

Competitor link building uses backlink data to show you exactly where your competitors get their links. Find every domain linking to more than one rival, reclaim links they’ve recently lost, catch the new links they’re gaining, surface sites that mention your brand without linking, and see their most linked pages so you can build something better.

Everything you decide to pursue goes into the Tracker. Save a PR request or a link prospect, write and record your pitch, and mark it published when the coverage goes live. You approve and send every pitch yourself, so nothing goes out in your name that you didn’t write.

Highlights

  • Two ways to earn links, one workflow. Reactive digital PR and competitor link building both feed a single tracker, so every opportunity lives in one place from first sight to published article.
  • Journalist requests matched to your store. The app monitors source requests across HARO and SOS, SourceBottle, Connectively, MentionMatch, and X, and shows you only the ones that match your keywords, newest first.
  • See where competitors get their links. Five lookups: domains linking to multiple competitors, lost backlinks worth reclaiming, freshly gained links, unlinked brand mentions, and top linked pages.
  • Filter by domain rating and skip the junk. Every opportunity carries a domain rating so you can sort and filter by authority, with a spam filter that hides low-quality sites by default.
  • Outreach made simple. Save prospects to the Tracker, find a contact with one click, record your pitch, and export your whole list to CSV.
  • Track pitches to published. Log each pitch, mark coverage when it runs, and watch your published rate against a real-world benchmark so you know your pitching is working.
  • A built-in playbook. The Guide walks you through how reactive PR wins links, how to pitch each source, what to put in a pitch, and how to confirm your coverage.
  • You stay in control. The app finds and organises opportunities. You write and send every pitch, so your outreach always sounds like you.
  • Free plan forever. Match reactive PR requests to a keyword, track your pitches, confirm coverage, and try competitor link prospecting with monthly link credits. You’re never locked out.
  • Trusted long-time standing. From the makers of the Digital Darts: Related Posts app, published and supported since 2015, and the Digital Darts: Hreflang Tags app.

How to Earn Backlinks From Your Store

Set up

Install the app and follow the setup checklist. Add the keywords you want press for, your brand name, and a few competitor domains. That’s all it needs.

Find opportunities

Matching journalist requests start filling your PR feed. Run a link prospect lookup to see exactly where your competitors earn their backlinks.

Pitch and track

Save the best opportunities to the Tracker, find the contact, send your own pitch, and mark it published when the coverage goes live.

The app keeps watching for new requests and link opportunities on a schedule, so your pipeline never runs dry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Install the app through the Shopify marketplace. A short setup checklist walks you through it: add the keywords you want coverage for, your brand name and website, and a few competitor domains. Matching PR requests start appearing right away, and you can run your first competitor link lookup in a couple of clicks.

The free plan lets you match reactive PR requests to a keyword, track your pitches, confirm your coverage, and try competitor link prospecting with a small number of link credits each month. It’s genuinely useful and you’re never locked out.

Pro is $39/month. It matches unlimited keywords for PR, unlocks the full competitor link building pipeline across more competitors per lookup, and gives you 100 link credits a month for the lookups. One credit analyses one competitor domain.

Digital PR is faster than most link building, but it isn’t instant. Matching journalist requests can appear the same day you install, and a well-pitched quote can turn into a published link within days, a couple of weeks or in some cases months, depending on the outlet’s schedule. Competitor link prospects are winnable right away, because you’re reaching out to sites that already link to stores like yours. Pitch consistently and the links compound month over month.

No. The app is built for store owners, not agencies. It finds the opportunities and ranks them, and the built-in Guide walks you through how to pitch each source and what makes a quote get picked up. If you can write a helpful paragraph about your niche, you can earn links with it.

Yes. Every link the app helps you earn is editorial, which means a journalist or site owner chose to link to you because your quote or page was worth citing. Those are the links Google and AI search trust most. There’s no link buying, no link networks, and nothing that puts your store at risk. You’re building the same authority the biggest brands in your niche rely on.

No, and that’s by design. The app finds and organises the opportunities, but you write and send every pitch yourself. Journalists and site owners can tell a mass-sent template from a real person, so writing your own is what earns the link. The Tracker records what you sent and when, so nothing slips through the cracks.

Journalists post source requests when they need a quote or expert for a story. The app monitors these requests across HARO and SOS, SourceBottle, Connectively, MentionMatch, and X, and matches each one against the keywords you set. When a request matches, it appears in your PR feed with its topic, deadline, outlet, and domain rating. You review it, pitch a helpful quote to the journalist, and if they use it you earn a link from the published story. The Guide inside the app shows you exactly how to pitch each source.

Add your competitors’ domains and the app uses backlink data to show you where their links come from. Five lookups cover it: domains that link to more than one competitor, backlinks they’ve recently lost, links they’ve recently gained, sites that mention your brand without linking to you, and their most linked pages. Filter out spam and low-authority sites, save the best targets to the Tracker, and reach out. It’s the fastest way to find links you already know are winnable, because a real site has already given one to someone like you.

Yes. When you uninstall, we erase your in-app data for privacy reasons. That includes your PR settings, saved searches, competitor link research, and any remaining monthly link credits. Reinstalling gives you a clean slate, so those items do not carry over.

Your earned backlinks are safe either way. Once a journalist or website links to you, that link lives on their site, not inside the app, so uninstalling never removes coverage you have already won.
