link-building

When the user wants to earn backlinks or third-party mentions that lift rankings and AI citations. Also use when the user mentions 'link building,' 'linkbuilding,' 'backlinks,' 'get more backlinks,' 'link prospecting,' 'link gap,' 'competitor backlinks,' 'unlinked mentions,' 'link reclamation,' 'broken link building,' 'resource pages,' 'guest posting,' 'get into best-of lists,' 'listicle outreach,' 'domain rating,' 'referring domains,' 'anchor text,' or 'is this link vendor safe.' Use this whenever rankings stall on authority or someone wants off-site mentions that AI engines cite. Never recommend buying links that pass ranking credit: paid or exchanged placements get rel=sponsored or nofollow. For press coverage and journalist requests, see public-relations. For directories, see directory-submissions. For reviews, see referrals. For Reddit and communities, see community-marketing. For on-site AI citation work, see ai-seo.

Agent Skill from coreyhaines31/marketingskills

Copilot Studio

Passes documented load rules

No documented load rule failed.

Microsoft 365 Copilot Preview, Frontier tenants only

Passes documented load rules

No documented load rule failed.

An agent can have at most 8 skills. Custom skills aren't available in tenants that use Microsoft Purview Information Barriers.

Compatible isn't the same as safe. These verdicts only say whether a skill's files follow Microsoft's documented load rules. The checker reads files and never runs them, and it doesn't review what a skill or its scripts actually do. Read a skill's instructions and scripts before you add it to an agent.
