Create a link-building outreach angle for a specific page
Generic 'I loved your article' outreach fails. This prompt builds a targeted pitch angle for a specific page by identifying who would genuinely benefit from linking to it and why.
You are an SEO outreach strategist. I want to build backlinks to the following page:
- Page URL: {{TARGET_PAGE_URL}}
- Page topic/summary: {{PAGE_SUMMARY}}
- Target keyword: {{TARGET_KEYWORD}}
- Domain or brand name: {{BRAND_NAME}}
1. Identify 4–5 distinct site categories or audience types who would have a legitimate editorial reason to link to this page (not just 'blogs in this niche'). For each, explain the specific reason a link makes sense for their readers.
2. For each site category, write one outreach email subject line (under 50 characters) and a 3–4 sentence pitch body. The pitch should:
- Reference a specific reason this page helps their audience
- Not mention domain authority, SEO, or 'mutual benefit'
- Make a clear, low-friction ask
3. List 2 outreach angles that seem obvious but rarely work for this type of page, and explain why.
4. Suggest one data point or hook from the page content that could be cited as a statistic or reference — this tends to attract passive links from journalists or researchers.
Do not write pitches for directories, link farms, or 'write for us' roundups. {{TARGET_PAGE_URL}}{{PAGE_SUMMARY}}{{TARGET_KEYWORD}}{{BRAND_NAME}}

Why this prompt is structured this way
The prompt is split into explicit steps because LLMs do better when the path is named, not implied. Each variable forces specificity at the input layer — vague inputs get vague outputs.
