What's a question you are tired of being asked about your product?
I will go first.
"Do you do backlinks?"
Every week. Sometimes every day. From prospects. From agencies. From people who read one SEO blog post from 2018.
Backlinks are not the problem. Backlinks are a solution to a problem that has changed.
We are building Ranklink. A network of 20,000+ website and blog owners. Not a marketplace. Not a "buy links here" page. A community of people who want their content cited and are willing to cite others.
We ask them one question: "What topics are you writing about this quarter?" Then we match them with other owners in the same space. They link to each other. No money changes hands. No "guest post for $200." Just humans helping humans get cited.
The backlink industry is stuck in 2018. People still ask about domain authority. Page rank. Quantity over quality. The data does not support it anymore.
So here is my question back to you.
Do you still chase backlinks? Or have you found something else that works better?

"Is this like Apollo?"
Yes and no. Apollo is great for the US market. We specifically solve for India and emerging markets where global databases have terrible coverage.
The real answer is: we're more like Apollo's cousin who grew up in Mumbai and actually knows where to find the right contacts here. But that's harder to explain in a one-liner, so I just say "kind of, but 91% accuracy instead of 60%" and hope for the best.
