Why Link Building Never Gets Done
Everyone knows backlinks move rankings. Almost nobody sustains the grind that earns them.
Prospecting Eats Hours
Finding the listicles, roundups, and resource pages worth pitching means hours of searching and qualifying — every single week.
Generic Pitches Get Deleted
Template blasts are spam. A pitch only works when it references the actual page it targets — which means reading every prospect page first.
Outreach Tools Send As Someone Else
Most platforms send from their infrastructure or ask for your SMTP credentials. Deliverability suffers, replies scatter, and you lose control of your own outbox.
How SEOAgent Handles Outreach
Autopilot runs the pipeline — discovery, qualification, drafting. You keep the two things that matter: the decision and the send.
Weekly Prospect Discovery
Every week, autopilot sweeps search results for pages worth pitching — "best X tools" listicles and roundups matched to your keyword strategy — and scores each one for relevance.
Contact Extraction
SEOAgent fetches each prospect page and pulls the author name and email where one exists, so drafts arrive ready to address a real person.
Personalized Drafts
Each email is drafted against the specific prospect page — what it covers, where your product fits — and quality-checked before it reaches your review queue.
You Approve Every Send
Drafts land in your Review queue on the dashboard. Edit, approve, or dismiss each one. Nothing is ever sent without your explicit approval.
Sends From Your Own Account
Approved emails sync to your repo, and your coding agent sends them through your own email tooling — like the Gmail connector in Claude Code. Your address, your sent folder, your replies. SEOAgent never sends mail itself.
Status Tracked End to End
Once sent, the prospect flips to contacted and the dashboard tracks the pipeline — prospects, drafts, sent, replied — so nothing falls through.
How Backlink Outreach Works
Weekly Prospecting
Autopilot searches for link-worthy pages using your live keyword strategy, then scores and qualifies each prospect.
Drafting
SEOAgent reads each qualified prospect page, extracts the contact, and writes a personalized pitch referencing what the page actually says.
Your Review
Drafts appear under the Outreach filter in Review changes. Edit the copy, approve the good ones, dismiss the rest.
Sent By Your Agent
On your next seoagent sync, approved emails reach your coding agent, which sends each one from your own email account — with a Gmail connector or whatever mail tooling you give it — then reports back.

Frequently asked questions
Does SEOAgent send emails on my behalf?
No — and that is the point. SEOAgent prospects, drafts, and queues. After you approve a draft, your own coding agent sends it from your own email account using tooling you connect (for example the Gmail connector/MCP in Claude Code). Your address, your sent folder, your reply threads.
What do I need to set up for sending?
Your coding agent needs email tooling: the Gmail connector/MCP in Claude Code is the common choice. If no tooling is connected, the agent tells you exactly what to add and the email stays safely queued — or you can copy and send it manually from the dashboard.
Can it send without my approval?
Never. Every draft waits in your Review queue until you approve it, and your coding agent additionally confirms with you before the first send of each session. Dismissed drafts are never resurrected.
Where do the prospects come from?
From live search results, driven by your own keyword strategy — pages like "best X tools" listicles that already rank for terms you care about. Each prospect is scored for relevance before it reaches you, and sites you have already contacted are never re-prospected.
How often does it run?
Weekly, as part of the paid autopilot. You can also trigger prospecting and drafting manually from the Outreach view, with sensible daily caps. Turn it off per site with one setting if outreach is not your thing.
