FAQCommon questions
Everything you need to know before getting started with backlink outreach autopilot.
01
- What is Mentiohunt?
- Mentiohunt is an AI link-building agent and automated outreach software for founder-led B2B SaaS teams. It researches natural backlink opportunities, qualifies each fit, finds the right contact, sends personalized outreach, and follows up through a prospect's first reply. Then you take the conversation over yourself.
02
- How does it work?
- You provide your site or article URLs. Mentiohunt runs daily discovery to find websites where your content is a relevant fit, surfaces contact details, and schedules outreach automatically. Every opportunity includes a fit rationale, placement angle, and expected SEO value so you can monitor the queue and cancel anything that isn't a fit.
03
- Who replies once a prospect responds?
- You do. Mentiohunt automates discovery, sending, and follow-ups right up to the first reply. The moment a prospect responds, we pause the automated sequence and hand the thread to you — you reply from your own connected mailbox so it stays a real, person-to-person conversation instead of coming from a shared outreach inbox.
04
- How do I control what gets sent?
- There is no per-email approval step. Outreach is scheduled automatically when a good-fit opportunity is discovered. You can monitor the target site, fit rationale, and outreach draft in the queue, then cancel anything that isn't a fit.
05
- How does Mentiohunt score opportunities?
- Each prospect is ranked by fit: how closely the target site aligns with your content's topic, audience, and outreach angle. Every score comes with a plain-language rationale so you understand why an opportunity was surfaced before acting on it.
06
- How is this different from a link building agency?
- More transparent and more controllable. You see the target site, fit rationale, and outreach draft in the queue while Mentiohunt handles discovery and first-reply outreach automatically. Agencies typically operate as a black box — you pay a retainer and get links without visibility into why. Mentiohunt charges a flat monthly fee, not a commission per link.
07
- Is Mentiohunt right for my team size?
- Mentiohunt is built for founder-led B2B SaaS teams that can't justify running link building as an internal function — typically 2 to 30 people. If you're already using an agency or running outreach manually and it's eating time you don't have, it's a good fit.
08
- Do you do guest posting?
- Yes. Guest posts are one of the placement types we actively target, alongside resource pages, product roundups, and editorial listicles. When you provide your article URLs, we match each one to sites where a guest post would be a natural fit and schedule the pitch automatically. You can cancel any opportunity that isn't a fit.
09
- How long until my first placed backlink?
- There is no guaranteed placement timeline. Discovery starts immediately after you add your URLs, and Mentiohunt handles follow-ups automatically until a site owner replies — then it's your inbox from there.
10
- What's your outreach reply rate?
- Reply rates vary by niche, site quality, and the strength of the fit. We focus on high-fit prospects and personalize each email to the specific site and angle, but we don't guarantee a response rate.
11
- What does an opportunity card look like?
- Each card shows the target site name, domain rating, monthly traffic, a plain-language fit rationale (why your content belongs there), the suggested placement angle, and the outreach draft. You can review the context and cancel the opportunity in the dashboard while outreach runs automatically.
12
- What if my niche has few link opportunities?
- Niche B2B SaaS often has fewer sites but higher-quality placements. We scan competitor backlink profiles, industry resource pages, and niche directories specific to your space — not just generic lists. Narrower niches typically see fewer total opportunities but higher fit scores per opportunity.
13
- Are the emails AI-generated?
- Email drafts are AI-assisted but personalized per site — not mass-templated. Each draft is tailored to the specific target, placement angle, and fit rationale. Outreach is scheduled automatically, and you can monitor or cancel the opportunity from the queue.
14
- What happens when my 7-day free trial ends?
- No card is required to see your personalized opportunities. A card is required only when you choose to start automated outreach. That starts a 7-day trial at $0 today; after seven days the Pro subscription renews automatically at $49/month unless you cancel from Billing before the trial ends. If you cancel, discovery and outreach pause, while your saved queue and replies remain available.
15
- If a prospect replies after my trial ends, do I lose the reply?
- No. Replies keep being collected and stored even after your trial expires, and they're waiting in your dashboard when you upgrade. If a prospect has already replied and you need more time to connect a mailbox and respond, you can also get 7 extra trial days by sharing Mentiohunt in a public post on X or LinkedIn.
