Do Backlinks Help You Rank in AI Search?
518 SEO Experts Weigh In 🔥

The past year has been a rollercoaster for SEO: AI overviews, zero-click results, Reddit flooding the SERPs, Google's crackdown on parasite SEO, and update after update. So, where does link building stand?

👉We asked 518 SEO professionals from agencies (44.4%), in-house teams (29.9%), and freelancers (24.9%). Most responses came from Europe (46.3%), the US (25.5%), and the UK (16.2%).

What Do the Experts Say?

- Gianluca Fiorelli (SEO Consultant & AI Strategist):
"Backlinks as such, not really, but as part of a co-citation and branded strategy yes, if the backlinks are on websites typically used as sources by LLM. Then, because of RAG, backlinks improve visibility/ranking on Search Engines, hence the possibilities of being used as a source increase."

- Szymon Slowik (Founder takaoto.pro):
"Of being found by AI bots (so it's important but not sufficient factor)."

- Peter Rota (SEO Specialist):
"Backlinks itself no, but the mentions of high-authority sites, yes."

- Sheyne R. Branconnier (Global Marketing Executive):
"Backlinks may not directly affect Al search results like ChatGPT, as Al models primarily rely on the vast datasets they are trained on. However, high-quality backlinks can improve a website's authority and overall search ranking, indirectly increasing the likelihood of being referenced by Al-powered platforms, especially when they cite reliable and authoritative sources."

So, Do Backlinks Affect AI Search Visibility?

Short answer: yes. ✅

👇 Most experts agree that backlinks still help with visibility in AI search for a few reasons:

• Google and Gemini rely on pages that rank well — and links help them rank
• ChatGPT pulls from Bing, which still follows traditional signals
• Perplexity and others give priority to trusted, widely mentioned sources

And this is only the start.

💡Bonus Insight: Are Competitors Still Buying Links?

91.89% of respondents say yes.

Last year it was 92%. The pattern continues.

Edu Backlinks: 10 Practical Ways to Get Them 👩‍🎓

Edu backlinks might not be the hot trend they were 10-15 years ago, but they still hold value for many SEOs.

The challenge is that they’re tough to get.

In this post, we’ll walk you through 10 practical strategies for earning powerful backlinks from .edu domains. Plus, we’ll answer some common questions about edu backlinks, so you know exactly how to approach them. 👇

✍ What Are Edu Backlinks?

Edu backlinks are links from websites tied to educational institutions like universities, colleges, or research centers. These links are sought after for a few key reasons:

🔑 Rare and Competitive: Only schools and educational organizations get .edu domains, which makes these links hard to come by.
📊 SEO Boost: Edu backlinks often come from high-authority sites. For example, Harvard’s website has a domain rating (DR) of 93—pretty impressive.
💪 Strong Link Equity: Educational websites are careful about their outbound links, which means the ones they do give tend to carry more weight than those from other sites with similar authority.

That said, edu backlinks might not be the best fit for every business.

If the link isn’t relevant to your niche, it might not do much for your SEO. So, it’s important to think about the effort involved versus what you’ll get out of it.

🤔 Why You Might Want Edu Backlinks

- High Authority: Edu sites are seen as trustworthy by Google, so a link from one can give your site a credibility boost.
- Solid Backlink Profiles: These sites are often linked to by other reputable organizations, which strengthens their own authority.
- More Credibility: If a well-known university or research institution links to your site, it can add to your own credibility and help improve your search rankings.
- Hard to Game: Since educational institutions don’t sell links or participate in link schemes, these backlinks are harder to fake or manipulate.
- Stand Out: Because they’re not easy to get, securing an edu backlink can set you apart from competitors.

👀 What to Watch Out for with Edu Backlinks

- Relevance: Just because a link comes from a .edu domain doesn’t mean it’s automatically good for your site. If it’s not relevant to your industry, it might not help and could even hurt your rankings.
- Time and Effort: Getting edu backlinks usually takes more work—whether it’s offering scholarships, providing resources, or collaborating on research projects. These efforts can be expensive and time-consuming.
- No Guaranteed Boost: While edu backlinks are valuable, they’re not a silver bullet. You need to pair them with other strategies to really see results.

💁‍♀️ Edu backlinks are a great way to improve your SEO, but they’re not for everyone. Make sure they fit with your broader strategy, and consider the effort involved before diving in.
