SEO AUDIT: Earn external links and mentions

[CShear]

Context

From the April 2, 2026 SEO audit. Brand Authority scored 3/15. Near-zero external third-party mentions.

Problem

Web search for "regen compute" returns only: the homepage, GitHub repo, one Medium article (by the founder), a Regen Network forum post, and LinkedIn. Only 1 external third-party mention. AI systems assess authority partly by independent source volume.

Strategies

• Show HN post — launch announcement targeting AI developers
• MCP ecosystem roundups — pitch to bloggers covering MCP tools
• AI newsletters — TLDR, The Neuron, AI Tool Report, etc.
• Sustainability tech publications — coverage of blockchain + ecology angle
• Developer community posts — dev.to, Reddit r/ClaudeAI, r/LocalLLaMA
• Conference talks / podcast appearances — regenerative tech, AI ethics

Target

3-5 quality external links within 60 days.

Priority

High — ongoing effort, but even a few quality links dramatically improve authority signals for both Google and AI systems.
