Our link building workflow
We improve our efficiency by
acquiring new guest posts on industry-relevant websites. Our first step starts
with finding prospects that could be actively interested in a guest blog post.
After this, we will record those opportunities and identify any area that isn’t
performing well.
The second step is to update the status of the prospect as it’s very critical to keep the
spreadsheet as up to date as possible so that we have accurate information of
our performance.
Using the link outreach template
Now let’s talk about Prospectus Tab.
The Prospects tab allows you to edit and
houses all the potential link prospects uncovered in your researched. You can
fill in the cells for your prospect’s website URL, add Domain Authority of the
website. This is very beneficial for outreach prioritisation. There’s also a
corresponding status column, with the following five stages so you can keep
track of where each prospect is in the outreach process.
Status 1: Need to Reach Out. If you have a prospect though you have not
taken any action, use this status.
Status 2: Email Sent. This status you can use as soon as you send your first outreach email.
Status 3: Received Response
Status 4: Topic Approved. Once you receive the status and your guest post topic has been approved, select this status. Now
you are even permitted to reach out to your content team.
Status 5: Link Acquired. Your website will get added to your Won Link Opportunities Report if you select this status.
Now you have to just record the date that a
particular link was acquired and add the URL where the link resides. “Won Link
Opportunities” report will help you to track all of the links you acquire
throughout the lifetime of your campaign.
Link
Pipeline report

overall link outreach campaign. It means that this report will show you all
information of how many prospects we have in our pipeline and what the
conversion/response rates are of each stage of our outreach funnel.
How
to analyze the Link Pipeline report
If you fail to gather more prospects, it’s
time to look for new link opportunities. In this way, this report allows us to
understand where we need to focus our efforts to maximize our campaign’s
performance. If our contact vs. response rate is low, it’s time to test new
email copy or email subject lines.
