Links from industry publications arise when a company or its expert is featured in an article in a trade journal, a conference proceedings volume, a methodology, or a research study. These are sources with high trustworthiness that strengthen not only the link profile but especially the perceived expertise – which is decisive in areas where the customer assesses competence. The way to obtain them is through original expert output: writing an article for a trade publication in the industry, speaking at a conference with a contribution to the proceedings, providing company data for a study, or cooperating with a research institution. The benefit extends beyond the link itself, because such content gets cited further and becomes a source that language models also draw on when answering expert questions.
