Why Mentiohunt

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Agency minimums start at $1,000–5,000/mo. DIY link building takes 10–15 hrs/week. Mentiohunt handles discovery and outreach through the first reply — you monitor the queue, cancel what isn't a fit, and take over once a prospect responds.

No tool stack needed

Replaces the whole function, not just the tools.

Ahrefs, Instantly, Hunter — each one adds cost without removing the work. You still own prospecting, email writing, follow-ups, and tracking. Mentiohunt replaces the entire workflow up to the first reply: discovery, outreach, and follow-ups. You monitor the queue and cancel bad fits — then take over once someone responds.

Transparent pricing

Zero agency markup. Ever.

Agencies charge 2–3× the link value and pocket the difference. Mentiohunt charges for the software — 0% commission, no hidden markup. You see every number: what the site asked, what we evaluated, what you pay. If you've paid an agency retainer and have nothing to show for it, this is built for you.

Outreach, isolated

Your inbox and domain never touch outreach volume.

Outreach sends from Mentiohunt's warmed sending pool, never your domain or inbox. Bounces and spam complaints stay on our infrastructure, not your reputation. The moment a prospect replies, we forward the thread to your personal email — you take it from there.

Live, not stale

Scraped in real time. Never pulled from an old database.

Most tools sell you contact records synced months ago — half of them dead by the time you email them. Mentiohunt scrapes your best backlink opportunities live, every run, so traffic, DR, and contact details reflect the site as it is today, not as it was last year.

Quality filter

Only real sites with real traffic.

PBNs, generic directories, and low-DR farms are filtered before you ever see them. Every site in your queue is checked for real organic traffic, topical relevance, and an editorial track record — not just a DR number. Every opportunity is a genuine editorial placement, not a paid link farm dressed up to look like one.

Always improving

Your queue gets sharper over time.

As Mentiohunt learns what earns placements in your niche — which angles work, which site types respond, which fits convert — your opportunity queue improves automatically. Better fit scores, fewer irrelevant prospects, higher reply rates. No configuration required.

We're a two-person team. There's no way we'd run link building ourselves. Mentiohunt handles the prospecting and outreach, we monitor the queue and cancel what doesn't make sense.

FAQ

Common questions

Everything you need to know before getting started with backlink outreach autopilot.

What is Mentiohunt?
Mentiohunt is an AI link-building agent for founder-led B2B SaaS teams. It finds websites where your content is a natural fit, checks if the fit is real, tracks down the right contact, and sends personalized outreach with automatic follow-ups, all the way through a prospect's first reply. After that, you take the conversation over yourself.
How does it work?
You give Mentiohunt your site or article URLs. It runs discovery every day to find sites where your content fits, digs up contact details, and schedules outreach on its own. Each opportunity comes with a plain-language reason it's a good fit, a suggested angle, and the expected SEO value, so you can keep an eye on the queue and cancel anything that isn't right.
Who replies once someone responds?
You do. Mentiohunt handles discovery, sending, and follow-ups right up until a prospect replies. The second someone responds, the automated sequence pauses and the thread moves into your own connected mailbox, so it reads like a real conversation between two people instead of a mass outreach inbox.
Can I control what gets sent?
There's no approval step before each email goes out. Outreach gets scheduled automatically as soon as a good-fit opportunity is discovered. What you can do is watch the queue: the target site, the fit reasoning, and the outreach draft are all visible, and you can cancel anything that isn't a fit before it sends.
How is this different from a link building agency?
It's more transparent and easier to steer. You can see the target site, the fit reasoning, and the outreach draft for every opportunity while Mentiohunt handles discovery and outreach automatically. Most agencies work as a black box: you pay a retainer and get links back with little visibility into how. Mentiohunt charges one flat monthly fee instead of a commission per link.
Is this right for my team size?
Mentiohunt is built for founder-led B2B SaaS teams that don't have the headcount to run link building in-house, usually somewhere between 2 and 30 people. If you're already paying an agency or doing outreach by hand and it's eating time you don't have, it's a good fit.
Do you do guest posting?
Yes. Guest posts are one of the placement types we go after, along with resource pages, product roundups, and editorial listicles. Give us your article URLs and we'll match each one to sites where a guest post makes sense, then pitch it automatically. You can always cancel an opportunity that isn't a fit.
Are the emails actually personalized, or AI spam?
Every draft is written for that specific site, not pulled from a template. Mentiohunt uses AI to write the first draft, but it's grounded in the target's content, the placement angle, and the fit reasoning for that opportunity. You can see the draft before it goes out and cancel anything that reads generic.
Can my AI assistant read my Mentiohunt data?
Yes. Mentiohunt runs an MCP server that Claude, Claude Code, and Codex can connect to directly, so you're never locked out of your own pipeline. Once connected, you can ask things like "which prospects replied this week?" or "what's my reply rate this month?" and get an answer pulled from your live account. It's read-only, so nothing can be sent or changed through it, and there's a REST API too if you'd rather call it from your own scripts. It's available on the Pro and Agency plans, and you set it up from Settings → Agents.
What happens when my free trial ends?
You don't need a card to see your personalized opportunities. A card is only required once you decide to start automated outreach, which kicks off a 7-day trial at $0. After that, the Pro plan renews automatically at $49 a month unless you cancel from Billing before the trial ends. Cancel, and discovery and outreach pause, but your saved queue and replies stay put.
If someone replies after my trial ends, do I lose it?
No. Replies keep coming in and get saved even after your trial expires, waiting for you in the dashboard whenever you upgrade. If a prospect already replied and you need a bit more time to connect a mailbox and respond, sharing Mentiohunt publicly on X or LinkedIn gets you 7 extra trial days.
