Outreach Intelligence

Manage Authority Growth From Prospect to Verified Placement

Most outreach fails not because the target list is wrong, but because the pitch treats a journalist like a click. We research the actual person, match the angle to what they've been covering recently, and send something short enough to read in thirty seconds. That's the difference between a 4% response rate and a 34% one.

Re: AI search visibility — your piece from last Thursday
Hi Sarah,

Your piece on how brands are losing ground to AI Overviews landed at the right time — we're seeing the same pattern across our client set, specifically the gap between schema coverage and citation rate.

I think there's a follow-up angle here: why some brands appear in AI answers consistently and others with better SEO don't. I have data on this and can put together a short comment or a 400-word contrib if that works better.

Estimated and analyst-modeled values are labelled and should be used as decision support rather than as guaranteed rankings, citations, traffic or revenue.

Why personalisation isn't optional anymore

Bulk outreach stopped working a few years ago. Editors get hundreds of pitches a week and delete anything that reads like a template in the first sentence. The bar for a reply has moved from "right topic" to "this person clearly read my last three pieces."

Links That Actually
Move The Score

Not just any links. Links that feed the Authority Score.

Every placement goes into the platform the day it goes live. It doesn't wait for a monthly report or a Slack message from us saying "got one." The Authority Score picks it up automatically, so both you and your stakeholders can see the direct line between outreach activity and domain authority — in real time.

Practical guidance

Using Outreach Intelligence Responsibly

Outreach data should improve relevance, timing, and relationship context. It should not be used for indiscriminate bulk messaging, deceptive personalization, or placements that exist only to manipulate search signals.

What should teams review?

Review source coverage, data freshness, collection method, anomalies, and the business decision each metric is expected to support.

What is the recommended next step?

Start with a defined visibility question and connect only the data required to answer it. Add monitoring after the baseline and ownership are clear.
