We've launched Automated Backlink Outreach — a complete end-to-end outreach pipeline
that qualifies every domain before sending a single email.
What it does
Upload a domain list from Google Sheets, set your campaign criteria once, and let the
system handle the rest. Every domain moves through 11 automated steps before an email
is sent — and if it fails any check, it gets skipped automatically.
The 11-step pipeline
- Upload domains — Pull your prospect list directly from a Google Sheet
- Set campaign rules — DA/DR thresholds, spam score limits, target countries,
timezone, weekdays, and send window
- Blacklist check — Removes workspace-flagged domains before any scoring begins
- Red-flag content scan — 120+ Google search operators detect adult content,
drug sites, paid-link farms, write-for-us pages, and sponsored post footprints
- Moz DA + spam score filter — Optional. Activate by connecting your own Moz
API key. Campaign runs normally without it
- Ahrefs DR + traffic + country filter — Optional. Connect your own Ahrefs API
key. Also skippable
- Geo exclusion — Skips domains where top traffic comes from your excluded
countries
- Lead generation — Visits each qualifying domain and discovers email contacts
automatically
- Email verification — SMTP ping + syntax check on every lead before sending
- AI personalization — Scrapes site category, content type, and business type,
then personalizes your saved template for that specific site
- SMTP send + Sheet write-back — Sends from your connected SMTP, then writes
Status, Sending Date, and Skipped Reason back to your original Google Sheet
Key numbers
Out of 5,000 domains in a test campaign — 1,240 failed quality filters, 850 had no
verified leads, and 2,910 emails were actually sent. The 42% exclusion rate is by
design.
Important details
- BYOSMTP — Send from your own Google Workspace, Outlook, or any SMTP provider.
Your sender reputation stays yours
- BYOA — Bring your own Ahrefs and Moz API keys. We don't charge for third-party
API credits
- Works without APIs — If Ahrefs or Moz keys are not connected, those filter
steps are skipped and the campaign continues normally
- No blind sending — A domain that fails any check is excluded entirely. No
wasted emails, no inbox damage
