Stop building link prospect lists by hand
Exporting from Ahrefs or Semrush, hunting down emails, vetting sites one by one, deduping in a spreadsheet. That is most of a link builder's week. Pitchbox turns a keyword, a competitor, or a list into a clean, qualified, contact-ready pipeline in one real-time, AI-driven workflow.

Prospecting is the part of link building nobody can scale.
Outreach gets the attention, but the real bottleneck sits in front of it. Before you send a single email, someone on your team has to build, clean, qualify, and protect the prospect list.
- Export prospect lists from SEO tools and normalize messy CSVs.
- Run domains through separate contact-finder tools.
- Open each site manually to check whether it is actually relevant.
- Filter out link farms, PBNs, and gamed-DR junk.
- Cross-check every campaign to avoid duplicate outreach, then paste the survivors into a spreadsheet and start again next week.
“Before Pitchbox we used Mailshake, and you had to use Hunter to find all these emails, then upload them. It was just a nightmare.”
Every tool in that chain formats its CSV differently, so you spend the day reformatting instead of prospecting. The spreadsheet that holds it together breaks the moment the person managing it leaves. And the lists themselves are stale: most tools hand you a static database, not what is ranking in Google today.
That is the spreadsheet empire. It does not scale, and it gets more expensive every time you add a client.
Tell Pitchbox what you are looking for. It finds the sites.
Give Pitchbox keywords, competitors, or your own data and it returns matching publisher sites with their metrics attached. Every result comes back in real time, so the list reflects what is ranking now, not a recycled database.
Search by Keyword or Category
Start narrow with target terms or go broad by topic. Pitchbox finds relevant blogs and publishers ranking for those keywords or categories.
SERP Scraper
Run advanced operator queries with intitle, inurl, and the rest. Pitchbox scrapes Google directly and pulls the results in.
AI Keyword Assistant
Expand a single seed term into a full list of long-tail targets without leaving the campaign.
Guest Posts and Blogger Outreach
The classic editorial outreach play, with a profile built to surface sites that take contributed content.
Niche Edits and Link Inserts
Target existing, already-indexed articles for a contextual link.
Resource Pages and Roundups
Find the pages that exist specifically to link out.
Product Reviews
Surface reviewers and review sites in your space.
Broken Link Building
Use integration data from Ahrefs or Semrush to find broken backlinks worth reclaiming with a replacement.
Competitor Backlinks
Pull competitor or page-level backlink data through Ahrefs or Semrush, find sites linking to them but not you, and turn those opportunities into prospects.
Import a CSV from Anywhere
Already have a list from Ahrefs, Semrush, Moz, Profound, or another tool? Upload it, map your columns, and Pitchbox finds the contacts for you.
Use Data Already in Your CRM
Build a new campaign from sites you have collected in Pitchbox.
API Campaigns
Push prospect data into Pitchbox from your own systems or internal workflows, then let Pitchbox enrich, dedupe, and find the right contacts.
One workflow, from keyword to contact.
Pitchbox runs the entire front end of link building in a single place. You give it an input. It returns a filtered, AI-qualified, deduplicated list of opportunities with the right person to contact already attached. Here is the path.
Cut thousands of sites down to the ones worth your time.
Set your thresholds once and Pitchbox runs every result through them automatically. Minimum DR, organic traffic, keyword count, referring domains, drawn from your connected Ahrefs, Semrush, Moz, or Majestic data.
- Saved filter presets: Turn your quality bar into a reusable preset. A junior team member or VA can run the same search and get the same standard, every time. Your SOP, enforced by the tool.
- Country and language targeting: Prospect in the right market from the start.
- Permanent blacklist: Mark a site as bad once and it never appears in a future campaign again. You are always training Pitchbox on what good looks like for you.
Let AI read every page so you do not have to.
Filtering by metrics removes the obvious junk. Judging actual relevance used to mean opening each site by hand. Now Pitchbox reads the page for you.
- AI Link Farm Detection: Pitchbox crawls each prospect's homepage and flags the "write for us" pages, contributor invitations, and footer link spam that signal a PBN. Mass-filter them out before they ever reach your outreach.
- AI Personalization fields: Write a prompt once ("score this site's relevance to fashion from 1 to 10") and Pitchbox runs it across your whole list, extracting headers, content, and metadata from every URL and scoring each one. The prompt is a rule that applies to every site.
- Inspection Queue: For the final human pass, review sites one at a time in a fast approve-or-reject view, with the page, its metrics, and the contact all on one screen. Green check, next one loads. Some customers call it Tinder for websites.
The right person at every site, not info@.
A qualified site is worthless without someone to reach. Pitchbox finds the contacts as part of the same workflow, then ranks them so you reach the right one first.
- Contact discovery built in: No exporting to Hunter, no second tool. Pitchbox finds the people behind every domain on your list.
- Contact waterfall: Contacts are ranked by role and confidence. Editorial staff, page authors, and editors float to the top. Generic role addresses sit at the bottom. Pitchbox reaches the top contact first and only moves down the list if they do not respond.
Never clean a list again.
Every new campaign deduplicates by default, across all your campaigns, all your projects, and every relationship you have already built. You will not pitch a site that is sitting in another campaign, and two people on your team will not email the same webmaster.
- Miss that one step in any other tool and you send a cold pitch to a publisher who gave you a link last week. Pitchbox makes sure that never happens.
Built for the workflow real link builders run every day.
“Pitchbox allows us to have a granular level of relevance and a granular level of personalization that you just don't get anywhere else.”
“It was designed for link builders. Everything you'd have an issue with, everything you wanted to streamline, they've taken care of it.”
“We found a thousand contacts last month in France for bloggers, and a lot of that would have been done via the translate-site feature.”
“The one tool that made my link building business a success”
A prospecting engine built around how link building actually works
Search the web your way
Most prospecting tools hand you the same aging list everyone else has already worked. Pitchbox pulls SERPs the moment you run a campaign, so every opportunity is a site ranking today, in the market and language you chose. Fresh prospects, not picked-over ones.
Deduplication that protects relationships
The dedup engine does two jobs at once. It saves you the hours of list cleaning that used to be a daily chore, and it stops your team from burning hard-won publisher relationships with an accidental cold pitch. Both happen automatically, on every campaign.
Database built for link builders
Sales CRMs are built around companies, deals, and people. Link building is built around the website. Pitchbox stores every prospect as a domain with many ranked contacts beneath it, so your pipeline matches the job instead of fighting it.
“I've tried other link building tools, and they were mostly built from an in-house perspective. They weren't built from the idea that you have 10-plus projects and need to manage a team of 20 people.”
The teams that prospect at scale run on Pitchbox
“Pitchbox has been a real backbone of our agency's growth.”
“If you really want to get serious about link building, there isn't really anything like Pitchbox out there that will let you grow campaigns and grow a link-building business at scale.”
Built for teams that build links.
Pitchbox is built for teams building 20+ links a month and sending 10,000 or more outreach emails. If that's you, our platform and AI agents save you thousands of dollars and a whole lot of headaches. Below that volume, or you'd rather get links directly from publishers than run outreach yourself? Our premium publisher network gives you sites with Google-verified traffic, real proof of site access, and 3-year link guarantees. Either way, let's talk.
