What is Foundation Links?

A free, ordered list of the places a new business should sign up and get a profile first, so Google and AI answers can find and trust it. It is built for your country and your kind of business, with up to 100 sites each.

How were the sites chosen?

Each site had to be a place you sign up or claim and get a public profile or listing, be well established and live, and have evidence that Google or AI answer engines use it. We researched a global pool and separate packs for Australia, New Zealand, the UK, the US and Canada, and swap in local sites where they are the better choice.

Do you submit the profiles for me?

No. You sign up to each site yourself. The dashboard keeps your list in order, lets you tick sites off and keeps every live link in one place.

How do you know each link type?

We checked real listings on every site. Dofollow means the website link on your profile passes credit to your site. Nofollow means it does not. Redirect means the link goes through the site's own tracking page first. Entity only means there is no website link, just your business details. Members only means it depends on your own listing.
