Find sites accepting contributions, qualify them on real SEO data, pitch from your own mailbox, negotiate the fee, write and place the article, and track every order from yes to paid.
Start freeTwo failure modes dominate. The first is chasing volume onto sites with no audience, which produces links that never move anything. The second is losing track: the same site gets pitched twice, the agreed fee is forgotten, the article is written but never sent, and nobody can say whether it ever went live or whether the invoice was paid.
Discover searches live Google results for write-for-us and contribution pages in your client's niche, sites that link to the client's competitors, and the publisher library of sites that already sold a placement, then hides anything already in the pipeline.
Authority, spam score, referring domains, US traffic, the tier-1 traffic share and the top ranking keywords, judged against your own floors. Pass, Maybe or Reject, with the reasons written out and an article angle suggested.
Every site that is not rejected is opened for its guest post page, sponsored-post page or editor's address. The result is the exact next step, and it travels onto the prospect on approval.
Personalised opener written from the client profile and what the host site ranks for, sent from your mailbox, followed up twice in the same thread, stopped the moment they reply.
The asking price is read out of the reply. The replies agent agrees up to the client's max cost per link, counters once above it, and stops for a person on a contract or a bundle.
The order moves from agreed to writing to article sent to published to paid. The orders agent writes the brief and the article, spots the published URL in the editor's reply, and verifies the link on the page.
Weekly monitoring flags any placement where your client's link disappears or turns nofollow, and the orders agent asks the publisher once.
Guest post outreach dies when the sending domain does. LinqDesk sends from your own mailboxes, spreads each mailbox's daily quota evenly across your sending window, sends follow-ups before new first emails, and treats a bounce as a wrong address rather than a dead site: the bounced address is blocked for good, the site is read again for another address, and the prospect restarts in a fresh thread.
A site that sold one client a placement is offered to the next, with the last price and the contact, in one click. Over a year the publisher library becomes the most valuable list your agency owns, and it builds itself.
Most guest post publishers now charge, and the fee is where an agency's margin goes. LinqDesk keeps the money visible at every step. The vetting shows the site's real US traffic and tier-1 share before you pitch, so you do not pay $200 for a site whose readers are all bots. The asking price is read out of the reply and shown against what is left in the client's budget. The replies agent never agrees above the client's max cost per link, and counters once when the quote is over it. The order carries the agreed price, and Won links shows what is published but not yet paid.
Cold guest post outreach to relevant sites typically returns 5 to 15 percent replies. Personalised first lines and a tight, relevant list matter more than clever templates.
Two is the practical maximum for guest post outreach. Most positive replies arrive on the first or second message, and a third rarely converts enough to justify the annoyance. LinqDesk sends two, in the same thread, and stops the moment anyone replies.
Many publishers now charge. What matters is whether the site has genuine traffic and topical relevance, and whether the placement reads like content rather than an advert. LinqDesk reads the asking price out of the reply and the replies agent only agrees up to the client's max cost per link.
You, your writer or the orders agent. One click writes a brief with the title, meta, outline and the two client links with anchors. With AI on, the agent writes the article, sends it in the thread, and watches for the published URL.
A site is never a duplicate prospect for the same client, a rejected site is never suggested again, and the publisher library shows which sites already sold a placement to another client, with the last price and contact.
