## Sketchfab

Sketchfab is a platform for publishing and discovering interactive 3D models. A creator can add a personal or company website to a public profile, while genuine model pages can also cite relevant external resources in their descriptions; both inspected link types are nofollow.

The quickest backlink path is Sketchfab's public profile **Personal website** field. It produces a direct external link, but current public profiles add `nofollow`, so the practical benefit is creator identity, portfolio discovery, and referral traffic rather than strong link authority.

## Method 1: Add your website to your public profile

1. [Create or access a Sketchfab account](https://sketchfab.com/signup).
2. Open **Profile Settings** after signing in.
3. Complete the public-facing details that establish who you are, such as your display name, account type, biography, and creator category.
4. Add your canonical site in the **Personal website** field and save the profile.
5. Visit your public profile while logged out and confirm the **Website** link opens the correct destination.

The public [Yusuf profile](https://sketchfab.com/yusufes) demonstrates the field. Its website anchor points directly to the creator's site and uses `rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"`.

Use the website field for a real portfolio, studio, museum, project, or company site. Sketchfab's profile rules prohibit links to competing 3D asset marketplaces and restricted-content destinations.

## Method 2: Cite a relevant resource from a 3D model description

If you have an original or legitimately shareable 3D model, its public model page can contain contextual external links:

1. Upload the model and open its properties.
2. Write a useful description that explains the subject, process, attribution, or supporting material.
3. Use the description editor's Markdown link control to cite a genuinely relevant page, such as project documentation, a detailed case study, source material, or the artist who inspired the work.
4. Publish the model publicly and verify the link on the finished model page.

Sketchfab's [official model-properties guide](https://sketchfab.com/blogs/community/setting-up-your-model-properties/) explicitly supports Markdown links and recommends external resources, concept credits, and attribution. Inspected model-description links also carry `nofollow`, so do not upload thin models solely to manufacture backlinks. A useful model can earn internal discovery through Sketchfab search, categories, and tags; the external citation should support that model rather than distract from it.
