Winner of the eConsultancy Innovation Award for Natural Search, Linkdex announces the launch of an application for businesses, SEO Professionals and Agencies, with a fully Integrated step-by-step toolset to make Search Engine Optimization easy to manage.
San Francisco, CA – (BusinessWire – January 24, 2011) – More businesses would invest in getting themselves to the top of Google and other search engines if they knew what to do and how to do it. Being at the top of the search results generates sales, but the link between SEO tasks and return is often hard to measure.
Linkdex, launched today creates an SEO workflow that is measurable and can be tracked over time. With the release of Linkdex, businesses and SEO professionals can now use a single integrated and scalable SEO platform saving them time and money, driving sales conversions, and getting the best return on SEO investment.
Linkdex CEO, John Straw said:
“Our goal from the start was to create an application to help millions of businesses get ahead in SEO, attract and give them control of where their business appears on Google and Bing as well local search engines. Our application is designed and beta-tested by both businesses and agencies to make SEO more efficient, manageable, and cost-effective”
SEO expert, trainer and author, Matt Bailey added:
“I have to say, Linkdex is one of the most exciting SEO applications that I have seen to date,” “We started beta testing the application at SiteLogic. Within minutes of loading client and competitor data, we discovered an amazing amount of information that will prioritize and help manage both our on page and link building work for clients. We’re also excited that Linkdex enables us to coordinate SEO projects across a team of people.”
“I’ve already listed Linkdex as one of my recommended products in my upcoming book, Internet Marketing: An Hour a Day. This is exactly the tool that any business owner who is reading the book will need to have to manage a successful SEO program.”
Francois Roux, CEO of New York Habitat, a vacation rental portal with thousands of rental properties in Paris, London and New York, and a beta tester of Linkdex notes:
“To compete successfully in the travel industry today means you need to be both an expert and resource efficient in SEO and SEM campaigns. Within a week of utilizing the Linkdex SEO application, my team is able to better prioritize link building efforts as well as track how our SEO activities translate into ranking and traffic results.”
Linkdex’s proprietary crawling and filtering algorithms create signals that allow the system to show causality between actions and SEO results. The ability to provide clean, fresh, segmentable data and act upon it to see results over time has been described by SEOs as a ‘game changer.’

Eric Enge, president of Stone Temple Consulting, and SEO expert and author said:
“One of the hardest things for a small company or agency to manage in the SEO process is an ongoing list of prioritized tasks to improve search rankings, whether that’s link building, improving site optimization, or submitting updated information to search engines.
“One of the things I liked best about Linkdex is it will either fully automate task management for a marketer, or it will let the more experienced marketer make choices about what SEO activities they want to pursue next. In addition, one of the most unique features in Linkdex is a graphical report that demonstrates when an SEO activity was completed and what subsequent effect that activity had on page ranking. This traditionally was a complex report that Linkdex makes extremely simple and easy to understand.”

John Straw notes that widespread adoption of Linkdex will hinge on a couple of key supporting factors: availability to millions of businesses through a network of distribution partners and a marketplace of top-notch SEO agencies who are available to support companies in implementation of a results-driven SEO program utilizing Linkdex. Linkdex expects to make a series of announcements in the coming months on both these fronts.
