Reverse Image Backlink Agent

Find who uses your images and request backlinks

What it does

AI agent searches for unauthorized use of your images, evaluates backlink opportunities, and generates personalized outreach emails to acquire links. Inspired by Edward Sturm's strategy for passive link building via stock photo sites.

The Problem

Your images are used all over the web without credit or links back.

• No tooling to find unauthorized image usage across the web
• Manual reverse-image search is slow and misses contextual matches
• Outreach for image attribution never scales beyond a handful of requests
• Passive backlinks via stock photos get lost without follow-up

The Solution

AI scans for image usage, scores backlink opportunities, and writes personalized outreach for each match.

• Gemini-generated search queries find usage Serper alone would miss
• Per-match attribution scoring (missing / partial / correct)
• High/Medium/Low backlink opportunity ranking
• Ready-made outreach emails with 3 tone options

Features

• AI-powered image search: Gemini generates optimal search queries based on your image descriptions to find usage on other sites.
