Linkbuildr

Description

Linkbuildr helps content creators streamline their outreach to people they link to.

  1. SCANS YOUR POST FOR LINKS
    When you click publish on a new blog post, Linkbuildr scans your post and identifies all of the website’s your article links to.

  2. IDENTIFIES CONTACTS AND INFORMATION
    Linkbuildr then check’s your site’s database of contacts to identify any new websites that are not already stored. For new sites it displays a pop-up window for each and suggests a name and email for your to save, edit, or skip.

  3. PUSH BUTTON EMAIL OUTREACH
    With the simple click of the publish button, Linkbuildr sends an email to each contact it found (and you’ve approved) for hands free content promotion. For more impact you can add custom email templates and set them at the domain level for maximum customization.

  4. IMPORT YOUR EXISTING CONTACTS
    Import a CSV of your existing contacts with the associated information.

  5. SUPPORTS GDPR COMPLIANCE
    Allows a user’s contacts to unsubscribe from future emails, with a custom unsubscribe landing page, and the ability to delete all of a contact’s data.

FAQ

How do I send outreach emails through Linkbuildr for Posts that are already Published?

Updating an existing Published Post will send any Linkbuildr outreach emails that have not already been sent to Linkbuildr Contacts with valid data.
Entering a change and removing it in the Block Editor will allow for a Published Post to be Updated without any changes to the Post.

Additionally switching to a Published Post to Draft and then back to Published will also send the appropriate Linkbuildr emails.

Can I import bulk contacts into Linkbuildr?

Yes, using the Contact Importer tool found in the Linkbuildr menu in the WordPress admin.
