Pitch with my templateSkip

Sound familiar?

Journalist requests work. Sorting them doesn't.

When a reporter quotes you, the article often links to your site. The hard part is everything before the pitch.

Too many requests

Dozens of journalist requests land every day, and most aren't a fit for you.

Deadlines close fast

By the time you've sorted the inbox, the best requests have already closed.

Rewriting the same pitch

You retype your bio, title and credentials into every single answer.

The difference

Less sorting. More pitching.

Without LinkBuilder AI

  • Skim every request to find the few that fit
  • Copy reporter, outlet and deadline by hand
  • Rewrite your intro and bio for each pitch
  • Lose track of which pitches turned into links

With LinkBuilder AI

  • A 0–100 fit score on every request
  • Requests arrive automatically, details already filled in
  • Your saved templates fill in your details
  • Every earned backlink logged in one place

How it works

From request to backlink in four steps

  1. 1

    Requests arrive automatically

    Forward journalist-request emails to your private address, and requests posted on social media flow in too. AI reads out the reporter, outlet, deadline and topics.

  2. 2

    See what fits

    Each request gets a 0–100 fit score against your expertise, plus a short private note on which angle of yours is most relevant.

  3. 3

    Pitch in your own words

    Start from your own template, add your answer, and send it from your own Gmail, Outlook or mail app. Replies go straight to your inbox. Set a reminder or route it for approval if you like.

  4. 4

    Log the links you earn

    Record the articles that cite you and link to your site, and watch your response rate and links grow week by week.

Try it on today's requests.

Connect your request sources and see a fit score on every one.

Requests from journalist-request services and social media land in your inbox with the reporter, outlet, deadline and topics already filled in.

Fit scoring

Backlink tracking

Works on any device

Runs in your browser on desktop and mobile, so you can catch a request before its deadline closes.

FAQ

Common questions

How does LinkBuilder AI help with link building?

Journalists regularly ask for expert sources. When they quote you, the article often credits and links to your site. LinkBuilder AI scores incoming requests against your expertise so you can focus on the best fits and answer them quickly with your own templates. Journalists still decide who to quote, so results aren't guaranteed.

Does AI write my pitches?

No. AI never writes or edits your pitches, which keeps you within the rules of journalist-request services that prohibit AI-generated pitches. AI is only used to read the details out of each request, score how well it fits you and give you private guidance.

Where do journalist requests come from?

They arrive automatically. Forward journalist-request emails to your private LinkBuilder AI address, and requests posted on social media are pulled in for you. You can still paste in a request from anywhere else.

Do I need to install anything?

No. LinkBuilder AI runs in your browser on desktop and mobile. Click Get started to sign up.
