AI link-building outreach email generator
The hardest part of link building isn't finding sites. It's the blank email. You've got a perfect prospect open in a tab and no idea how to ask for a link without sounding like every template they delete — and a weak first email burns that prospect for good. Give the donor URL, your URL, and the type of outreach, and get a short, personalized draft you can edit and send: subject line, body, a follow-up, and notes on what to fix before you hit send.
Free to use — your 1000 signup tokens cover each email, and a free account is all you need (no purchase, unlike our other AI tools). You're charged only when an email comes back, never for a failed run.
What the draft looks like
An illustrative broken-link example — a draft for a fictional sender, not a live run. Notice the bracketed placeholders: those are the parts only you can fill in.
Subject
Quick heads-up — broken link on your project-tools roundup
Body

Follow-up email (send if there's no reply after a week)
Before you send
This is a draft, not a send button. Replace every [placeholder], make sure the reason holds for this recipient, and only email people the link helps. That's where replies start.
What you get
One AI call turns two URLs and a campaign type into a working outreach draft, built so you edit and personalize rather than copy-paste:
- A subject line and an alternative. Short and specific — the kind that gets opened because it reads like a person, not a pitch.
- A 90–150 word body. One clear ask, one genuine reason it helps their readers, and bracketed placeholders for anything only you can know.
- A follow-up. A brief, polite nudge to send if the first email gets no reply, where a lot of links come from.
- Honest editing tips. What to fix before sending, and a reminder that unedited bulk-sending is exactly what gets outreach ignored.
What it doesn't do: read either page, find prospects, or send anything. It's a drafting tool that respects how outreach actually works — relevance and personalization, not volume.
How to use it
- Enter the donor URL and your URL — the page you want a link from, and the page on your site you want them to link to.
- Pick the campaign type. Broken-link, resource-page, guest post, link insertion, unlinked mention, or general — the email's angle changes to match.
- Add a personalization note. Optional but worth it: the exact article, the broken link, or why this link helps their readers. The more you give, the fewer placeholders come back.
- Edit before you send. Fill the brackets, cut anything that isn't you, and confirm your reason is true. Then send it from your own inbox.
Why outreach emails make or break a link campaign
You can build the best prospect list in your niche and still get nothing back, because the link doesn't depend on who you email — it depends on what you say. Editors and site owners get pitched constantly, and they've learned to spot a template at a glance: the generic opener, the flattery that fits any site, the ask that's all about you. Those get deleted in the time it takes to read the first line.
Why personalization is the whole game
The emails that earn links have one thing in common: they could only have been sent to that one person. They reference something specific, they give a reason the link helps that site's readers, and they make the ask small and easy to grant. That's why this tool leaves placeholders instead of inventing details — it can structure the email and set the tone, but the specifics that make it real have to come from you. An AI draft that you personalize beats a blank page; an AI draft you send unedited is just faster spam. Get it right and the win is small and unmistakable: a two-line reply that says "good catch, added" — a link that took ten minutes to ask for and would never have come from a template.
Why the follow-up matters
A large share of outreach replies come from the second email, not the first. People are busy, inboxes are noisy, and a short, polite nudge a week later catches the ones who meant to respond and forgot. It's the least glamorous part of outreach and one of the most effective, which is why a follow-up comes with every draft.
Frequently asked questions
What does this tool do?
You give it the page you want a link from (the donor), the page on your own site you want linked, and the type of outreach you're doing. It writes a short, personalized email for that scenario — a subject line plus an alternative, a body of around 90 to 150 words, a follow-up to send if there's no reply, and a few editing tips. It doesn't crawl either page or send anything; it drafts an email from the URLs and the campaign type so you can edit and send it yourself.
Will sending AI-written outreach get me ignored?
If you send it unedited and in bulk, yes — and you'd deserve it. A template that lands in fifty inboxes word-for-word is exactly what editors have learned to delete. This tool gives you a personalized starting draft with bracketed placeholders for the things only you know, like the recipient's name and the specific page you're referencing. The reply comes from filling those in honestly and only emailing people the link clearly helps. The draft saves you the blank page; it doesn't replace the personalization.
What campaign types does it support?
Six: broken-link building (you spotted a dead link and suggest yours as a replacement), resource-page outreach (their page is a list and you'd fit it), a guest-post pitch, link insertion or niche edit (adding your link to one of their existing posts), unlinked-mention reclamation (they named your brand without linking it), and a general catch-all. The email's angle changes to match the one you pick.
Does it read the donor page or my page?
No. It works from the two URLs alone — it reads the brand name from each domain but doesn't fetch or crawl either page. That keeps it fast and private, and it's why there's a context box: anything specific you want the email to reference, like the exact article or a recent post of theirs, you type in yourself. Whatever you put there, the email uses; what you leave out becomes a placeholder for you to fill.
Why do I need to sign in and spend tokens?
Each email is a real AI call that costs us money, so this one needs a free account — but unlike our AI risk score and anchor suggester, it does not need a purchase. Your 1000 signup tokens cover it, and each generation costs a small number of them. The page is free to read; only generating an email spends tokens, and you're charged only when an email actually comes back, never for a failed run.
How many emails can I generate?
As many as your token balance allows, within a fair-use hourly limit so one account can't monopolize the service. The point of the tool is quality, not volume — a handful of well-targeted, personalized emails will out-perform a hundred copies of the same template, so generating fewer and editing each one is the better bet.
Is the email ready to send as-is?
Treat it as a strong first draft, not a finished email. Read it, replace every bracketed placeholder, cut anything that doesn't sound like you, and confirm the reason you're giving is true for that recipient. Outreach works on relevance and honesty; a draft can give you both the structure and the tone, but only you can make it true for the person on the other end.
