I have not ever personally used it, but honestly, I would say it is probably not the best idea.
I think it would detract from your other marketing messages, which would cost you more than you gain.
That is IF anyone uses it to link to you anyways. In all of my years, the only way I have seen people copy and paste things from sites is embeddable widgets, or cool type things.
In tech industry (which you said you aren't in, lol me either..), then it MAY would be worth considering.
I would recommend going a route like Search Engine Land does, and offer a lot of social engagement instead (which these days are becoming valued a lot like links)
If you were still going to do it, then I would recommend doing it SUPER non-intrusively as in, don't come across as begging, or forcing them too.
Maybe even just add it in the mix of "share" options, in a box similar to Search engine land's.
Also, if you really want them to do it, then you will probably have to incentivize it, but hey, people will do anything for cash these days.
Including copy and publish a link.
