SEO: find a topical reason for every competitor backlink to link to you

Link building means cold-pitching sites with no reason for them to care.

What hurt

Ian Nuttall (@iannuttall) posted a four-step SEO tip and said Grok Bot got him two DR 84 links on a site with 3M visits a month. Not affiliated with xAI.

What to install or create

Export your competitors' best backlinks. Ask the bot to find a topical reason each linking site should link to you too. Approve the suggestions by hand. Then let the bot send the cold outreach.

Bots

  • SEO bot

    Finds a topical angle for each backlink source and sends approved outreach.

Plugins

  • Gmail

    Optional

  • Browser

    Optional

Files

  • Competitor backlink export (CSV).

Routines

  • None on the first run. Watch one manual pass first.

The prompt

Four-step SEO tip (author-quoted)

Quoted from @iannuttall — as published. Do not invent a second system prompt.

1. Get an export of your competitors best backlinks
2. Ask your agent to find a topical reason for them to link to you too
3. Manually approve suggestions
4. Let the agent send the cold outreach

First run

  1. 1Read https://x.com/iannuttall/status/2107786133254078714 (credit @iannuttall).
  2. 2Export your competitors' best backlinks from your SEO tool.
  3. 3Give the file to the bot and ask for a topical reason each site should link to you.
  4. 4Go through the suggestions and approve only the strong ones.
  5. 5Let the bot send outreach for the approved list, and track replies.

Approval fence

Step 3 is the fence: you approve every suggestion before any outreach goes out under your name.

What to tweak

The reason to link is the pitch. Approve the reasons, then let the bot do the sending.
