-- Link Build, a leading provider of link-building and organic visibility solutions, today announced an expansion of its promotional service offerings to include customer review acquisition, brand-mention tracking, and AI-powered sentiment intelligence—all designed to help brands improve their visibility in both traditional search engines and the rapidly growing universe of Large Language Models (LLMs).
As search continues its shift from keyword-based ranking to AI-driven, answer-based discovery, the signals that influence visibility are changing. Customer reviews, third-party brand mentions, and conversational references to a company across the web are now among the most influential factors in determining whether a business appears in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and other AI-based systems.
“Search has entered a new era where LLMs are not just indexing content—they are evaluating trust,” said Nate Nead, CEO of Link Build. “If a brand isn’t being consistently reviewed, discussed, or mentioned in credible places online, it risks disappearing from conversational AI altogether. That’s why integrating review acquisition and brand-mention tracking into our offering was the natural next step. We want to help our clients shape, strengthen, and protect the signals that LLMs now depend on.”
AI Is Reshaping SEO — And Trust Signals Are the New Currency
In recent months, LLM-driven search platforms have begun favoring brands that demonstrate consistent review velocity, positive sentiment, and third-party validation. These signals contribute to what AI developers refer to as “consensus”—a form of reliability that influences whether a brand is surfaced in generated answers.
Unfortunately, this shift also means brands are more vulnerable to misinformation, outdated content, or negative narratives being pulled into AI outputs. Without active monitoring and engagement, companies may not even know that incorrect or harmful narratives are propagating through model responses.
“LLMs look for more than just backlinks and structured data—they look for trusted consensus,” said Samuel Edwards, CMO at Link Build. “Review velocity, mention frequency, and sentiment trends now act as authority indicators for AI systems. Brands that aren’t actively managing their reviews and conversations are allowing the market to tell their story for them. Our goal is to give companies the tools to steer that narrative.”
This evolution has made reputation intelligence, brand protection, and review management essential components of modern SEO—especially as LLMs become the de facto interface for consumers seeking recommendations.

Our expanded offering creates a measurable competitive advantage by blending traditional SEO with the emerging science of AI-driven reputation management.”
A Strategic Shift to Protect and Strengthen Digital Authority
As generative AI becomes the primary interface for discovery—across search, customer support, e-commerce, and professional services—the importance of third-party validation is accelerating rapidly.
Brands that actively acquire reviews, stimulate natural mentions, and maintain a healthy public narrative will be:
- More visible in LLM responses
- More trusted by AI systems
- More resilient against misinformation
- Better positioned to shape how customers perceive them
- Stronger across traditional search engines as well
Conversely, brands that ignore these signals risk being:
- Omitted from AI recommendations
- Misrepresented by outdated or inaccurate information
- Overshadowed by competitors with stronger review velocity
- Penalized by LLMs that prioritize verified consensus
Link Build’s blend of promotion, reputation intelligence, and LLM optimization creates a holistic framework for ensuring clients remain visible and trusted across the entire search and AI landscape.

The company also announced a roadmap focused on deeper integrations with AI-monitoring systems and enterprise-grade brand-protection tools, including:
- Automated LLM-visibility scoring reports
- Trend analysis for mention velocity and sentiment shifts
- AI-driven recommendations to improve consensus signals
- Multi-model monitoring across all major LLM platforms
- Enterprise-level narratives management
- Stronger connection between link-building strategy and LLM training-data influence
“AI search is still evolving,” Nead added. “But one thing is clear: companies that invest early in review quality, brand authority, and narrative control will dominate the next decade of organic discovery.”
