✉ Manual SEO outreach

Links earned through real outreach, not bought in bulk.

SEO outreach is the slow, manual work most agencies skip: finding genuinely relevant sites, reaching the people who run them, and pitching a reason to link that stands on its own. We do that work by hand — real prospecting, real emails, real relationships — so every link is agreed on merit and built to last.

01Why it matters

Why most SEO outreach gets ignored.

Outreach is easy to do badly and hard to do well. Here is what separates pitches that earn links from the ones that go straight to spam.

01

Mass-blasted template emails

Generic 'Dear webmaster' emails sent to thousands get deleted on sight. We research each prospect and write pitches a real person would actually reply to.

02

Outreach to irrelevant sites

Pitching sites that have nothing to do with your niche wastes everyone's time and earns weak links. We only contact sites genuinely relevant to your subject.

03

No real reason to link

If the pitch offers nothing, the answer is no. We lead with a genuine reason — relevant content, a useful resource, a real fit — so the link is agreed on merit.

04

Burning your domain on bad sends

Spammy outreach from your own address damages your sender reputation. We run outreach on dedicated infrastructure, so your domain and inbox stay clean.

05Pricing

Outreach priced by what it lands.

You do not pay per email — you pay per link that actually goes live, scaled by the host site's authority.

03How it works

How an outreach campaign runs.

Outreach is a process, not a purchase. Here are the four stages we run for every campaign.

Prospect & qualify

We hand-build a list of genuinely relevant sites in your niche, verify the right contact for each, and agree the targets with you.

Pitch & personalise

Each site gets a personalised pitch written for a real person — a genuine reason to link, sent from dedicated outreach infrastructure.

Follow up & negotiate

We manage replies, follow up politely, and agree the placement, anchor and page — the slow part that actually wins links.

Place & report

The link goes live on merit, and you get the URL, anchor and host metrics — backed by a 12-month replacement guarantee.

The outreach funnel

Outreach is a funnel, and we work all of it.

Most prospects never become links — that is normal. Real outreach means doing enough of it, well enough, that the small percentage who say yes are exactly the sites you wanted.

The approach

SEO outreach, the honest version

Outreach is the part of link building that does not scale with a button. Here is how it actually works — and why doing it properly is the whole point.

It starts with the right list, not the biggest list

The temptation is always to email more sites. But outreach to thousands of irrelevant sites earns weak links and burns your reputation. We start narrow: a hand-built list of sites genuinely relevant to your niche, with the real contact for each one verified before anything is sent.

Every pitch is written for a person

Site owners delete templated mail on sight. The pitches that earn links are personal, reference the actual site, and lead with a real reason to link — a relevant resource, a genuine fit, a useful contribution.

That is slower to write, and it is exactly why it works.

Most prospects say no, and that is fine

Outreach is a funnel. A healthy campaign converts only a small share of well-chosen prospects into links — the trick is doing enough quality outreach that the ones who say yes are the sites you actually wanted.

We measure the whole funnel, so you see prospects, replies and placements, not just the final number.

Your domain stays out of it

All sending runs on dedicated outreach domains and warmed inboxes, never your main domain, so your deliverability and sender reputation are never put at risk.

Links are placed on merit, reported in full, and backed by a twelve-month replacement guarantee.

04Common questions

Questions about SEO outreach.

What people ask most before starting an SEO outreach campaign.

SEO outreach is the process of contacting the owners and editors of other websites to earn links back to yours. Instead of buying links in bulk or using networks, you find genuinely relevant sites, reach the real person behind each one, and pitch a reason for them to link — a useful resource, a guest article, a relevant mention. It is the manual, relationship-driven side of link building, and it is what produces links that hold up because they are agreed on merit.
Buying links in bulk skips the relationship: you pay, a link appears, often on a site that exists only to sell links. Outreach earns the link by convincing a real site owner it is worth adding, on a site that exists for its own audience. It is slower and a smaller percentage of pitches succeed, but the links are relevant, editorial and far more durable — exactly the kind search engines reward.
Not the way we run it. All outreach is sent from dedicated domains and warmed inboxes on separate infrastructure, never your main domain, so your sender reputation and deliverability stay protected. Pitches are personalised and sent at a measured pace, not blasted, which keeps everything clean.
Outreach is a funnel — most prospects never become links, and that is normal. A healthy campaign converts a small but meaningful share of well-chosen, relevant prospects into placements. We focus on sending enough quality outreach that the sites which do say yes are genuinely the ones you wanted, rather than chasing a vanity success rate.
Yes. We research each prospect and write a personalised pitch for it, and where a campaign involves guest posts we can write the article too, to the host site's standard. You approve the targets and angles; we handle the writing and the back-and-forth.
It depends on the campaign — prospecting volume, the authority of the sites you are targeting, and whether content is involved. Placements on relevant sites start from around $30 and scale with the host site's domain rating and traffic. We scope a sensible monthly budget around your goals rather than charging per email sent.
SaaS, tech, finance, health, marketing, travel, ecommerce, home, education and more. Relevance drives everything, so we build prospect lists specific to your niche rather than pitching the same generic sites to everyone.
