Airefs ranks domains by how often AI actually cites them, not generic domain authority, and drafts your outreach in the same click. Most backlink tools stop at a list of domains — you're left to figure out who's worth emailing and write the pitch yourself.

Frequently asked questions
Why does getting mentioned on these domains matter?
Creating your own content takes weeks to earn a citation. Getting mentioned on a domain AI already trusts is the faster parallel track — a placement there can influence AI answers almost immediately, because the source is already trusted. Even a mention without a link counts: AI reads the content, not just the link graph, so it's a different game from traditional backlink building.
How long does it take to land a placement?
It depends on the publisher's response time — typically a few weeks from outreach to a live mention. Mark domains as emailed in your queue so you always know what's pending, replied, or live.
What counts as a backlink opportunity here?
A domain whose articles have been cited by AI engines at least 20 times in the last 30 days. These are sites AI is actively pulling from right now, which makes them strong targets for a mention or a link.
Why the 20-citation, 30-day threshold?
It filters out one-off citations and keeps the list focused on domains AI cites consistently and recently, so your outreach time goes to sites that are actually influential in AI answers today.
How is this different from a generic SEO backlink tool?
Traditional backlink tools rank domains by link equity or domain authority. Airefs ranks them by how often AI engines actually cite their content — a different, more direct signal for showing up in AI answers.
Does Airefs exclude large media sites and competitors?
Yes. Large publishers and active competitor domains are filtered out by default, since they're weak outreach targets — you're unlikely to get a placement, and you don't want to help a competitor's citation count.
Does Airefs write the outreach email for me?
Yes. Opening a domain generates a subject and body referencing the specific articles it's been cited for, with an offer type you choose — paid placement, link exchange, or either.
How do I find a contact to send it to?
A "Find contact" button opens a pre-built search to help you track down the right person at that domain, so you're not starting your outreach with no one to email.
Can I track which domains I've already contacted?
Yes. Mark a domain as emailed or dismiss it, and it moves out of your active queue, so you always know what's left to reach out to.
