Why it works

A better starting point for every outreach.

Content-first matching, rationale included, outreach draft ready. No spreadsheets. No guesswork.

Content-first prospecting

Your articles define what's a fit — not a keyword list.

Traditional prospecting tools start from a competitor backlink export or a seed keyword. Mentiohunt starts from what you published — and identifies sites where each specific article fits editorially.

Prospecting from: guide on B2B SaaS go-to-market

Founder resource hub — strong editorial match

SaaS tools directory — audience overlap confirmed

Roundup: growth playbooks for early-stage teams — placement angle identified

Newsletter link list — topical fit, relevant readership

Scored and ranked

Know why each prospect made the list.

A scored queue is only useful if you trust the scores. Every result includes a plain-English rationale explaining why the site is worth emailing — so you can agree, deprioritize, or skip without second-guessing.

Prospect detail: Founder tools directory

Topical fit score: 94

Editorial focus: tools and resources for early-stage founders

Your article fit: covers go-to-market for B2B SaaS — direct audience match

Placement angle: resource link alongside listed founder tools

Daily refresh

New prospects every morning, automatically.

The prospect queue refreshes daily as Mentiohunt re-scans your content, checks for new sites in your topic area, and re-scores existing prospects against updated editorial signals.

New prospects — this morning

2 new directories discovered in your category

1 roundup article updated — your topic now covered

3 resource pages re-scored after content update

1 prospect removed — editorial focus shifted away

How it works

A focused workflow for link prospecting.

Better inputs lead to clearer scoring and a prepared action — not another blank spreadsheet.

Inputs that improve discovery

Sitemap or article URLs

Competitor domains to find adjacent prospects

Keywords describing your market

Founder context and niche

Scan your content

Mentiohunt reads each article you add and builds a topical model — what the page covers, who the audience is, and what kind of external site would reference it naturally.

Score external sites for fit

Prospecting runs against editorial sites, directories, resource pages, and roundup articles in your category. Each result is scored for topical alignment, not just domain authority.

Review the ranked queue

Prospects arrive in a daily queue ordered by fit score. Each entry includes the rationale, the placement angle, and contact details so you can act immediately.

FAQ

Common questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

What is link prospecting?: Link prospecting is the process of finding websites that are worth reaching out to for a backlink. Good prospecting targets sites where your content is a genuine fit — not just high-authority domains with no editorial relevance.
How does Mentiohunt score topical fit?: The system compares the topic, audience, and editorial tone of your article against each prospect's content. Each score comes with a plain-English rationale so you can agree with the ranking or skip it without guessing.
What types of sites appear in the prospect queue?: Directories, resource pages, roundup articles, and editorial sites that already cover your topic area. The queue avoids generic high-DA lists in favor of sites where a placement would make editorial sense.
Do I need a lot of content to start?: No. Two or three strong articles are enough to generate a useful initial queue. As you add more content and competitors, the prospecting gets more targeted.
Can I use this for multiple articles at once?: Yes. Each article generates its own prospect thread. You can manage prospecting across multiple pages simultaneously — each one surfaces a separate queue of relevant sites.
