Off-page SEO is everything that builds your reputation away from your own website: the directories you are listed in, the reviews customers leave, the communities that mention you and the publications that quote you. Your own pages tell Google what you claim to be; off-page signals are other people agreeing, which is why they carry so much weight.
Altheo maps where your name should appear, scores each opportunity on what a business your size can realistically win, and drafts the submission, review request, outreach note or community reply for you to approve.
Authority that lifts every page. Domain Rating is a 0–100 estimate of how much authority your site carries, based on the quality of sites linking to it. It is not a Google metric, but it tracks closely with how easily you rank — and a stronger domain makes every page easier to rank, including ones you wrote years ago.
Rankings you were not going to win alone. For competitive terms, better content is rarely enough. When credible sites point at you, Google has a reason to place you above businesses with bigger budgets.
The brand AI answers recommend. ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity lean on what the rest of the internet says about you. Being present in the reviews, directories and threads they read is what turns you into the name they suggest rather than one they have never encountered.
Directory recommendations from a library of 200+ vetted directories, filtered to the handful that fit your industry and are actually worth a listing. Community tracking across Reddit and the forums where your market talks, alerting you while a thread is still live enough to join.
A competitor backlink analyser that ranks their links by how realistically you could earn the same one. An unlinked mention finder that spots places already talking about you without linking, and drafts the note that asks them to.
A review generator that picks the platform where a review does you the most good this month — Trustpilot, G2 or another — and drafts the ask for the right customer. Twice a year Altheo opens a genuine discussion in a subreddit where your buyers spend time and hands you the thread to reply in as yourself.
Altheo maps the directories, review platforms, communities and publications your buyers already trust, then checks which mention you and which do not.
Every opportunity is scored on the authority it would pass and how realistic it is for a business your size — no lists of unreachable publications, no low-quality directories that would do nothing.
Altheo drafts the submission, review request, outreach note or reply in your voice and with the context of what you actually do. You approve and send.
Each mention compounds: your Domain Rating climbs, competitive pages start ranking, and AI assistants have more reason to name you when someone asks for a recommendation.
Directory listings are the most reliable first move, because they are free, they are within reach of any business, and a listing keeps working for years with no further effort. Our guide to ten SaaS directories worth listing on covers which ones still earn a submission, with the Domain Rating, cost and realistic time commitment of each, and our free directory finder returns the shortlist matched to your own business.
Everything that builds your reputation away from your own website: the directories you are listed in, the reviews customers leave, the communities that mention you and the publications that quote you.

Domain Rating is a 0–100 score estimating how much authority your website carries, based on the quality of sites linking to it. It is not a Google metric, but it tracks closely with how easily you can rank. A higher rating means every page you publish starts from a stronger position, which is why off-page work lifts results across your whole site rather than one page at a time.
No. Altheo does not buy links or submit you to hundreds of junk directories, which is what tends to cause the damage people remember. It works the routes that hold up: real review platforms, directories that vet their listings, communities where you contribute something useful, and journalists who need a source. Every suggestion is one you could defend if a human looked at it.
Assistants like ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity form their picture of you from what the wider web says, not just from your own site. If your business appears in the review platforms, directories and discussions they draw on, you become a name they can recommend with confidence. If you are absent from all of it, there is nothing for them to go on.
Only where you decide to. Altheo tells you when a relevant thread appears and drafts a reply, but you review and post it yourself, so it stays your voice and your account. Twice a year on Pro, Altheo will also open a genuine discussion in a community where your buyers spend time and hand you the thread to take part in.
Directory listings and review profiles can be live within days, and those are usually the first movement you see. Domain Rating shifts more slowly, over months rather than weeks, because it reflects an accumulation rather than a single action. The pattern is steady rather than sudden, which is also what makes it hard for a competitor to undo.
Not to use this. Altheo finds the opportunities, scores them and writes the outreach on its own. If you already pay for a backlink tool you can keep using it to audit your profile in more depth, but nothing here depends on it.
