# Outlink AI

> Outlink AI runs the link-building loop on autopilot - discover, qualify, personalize, send, follow up, handle replies, then verify placements - inside the guardrails you set.

Outlink AI is an AI-powered link-building and digital-PR platform for SEO teams and growth marketers. It works from your own connected inbox: it finds relevant opportunities, drafts personalized pitches in your voice, sends them, follows up, handles replies, and verifies live placements. You set the relevance and quality thresholds, the volume and the caps, and the AI runs inside them - it is not approval-gated on every send by default, and it is not unsupervised: drafts that fail the grounding or quality checks wait for you, replies that need a human decision are escalated, you review the digest, and a campaign can be put behind explicit review when you want one.

Honesty note: this describes what the software does, not results. Placements and press coverage are editorial decisions made by the people you reach. Outlink AI runs the outreach and surfaces qualified opportunities; it does not buy links, and we never promise a specific Domain Rating, a number of placements, or coverage in any particular outlet.

## Pricing

Four tiers: Free, Starter, Growth, Scale. Every PAID plan runs the identical
autopilot loop - discover, qualify, personalize, send, follow up, handle replies,
and verify. The tiers differ only in throughput: outreach per day, connected
inboxes, concurrent campaigns, and the monthly spend cap. Growth is the
most-popular tier. Free cannot send live outreach; it is for exploring the
workspace. Amounts below are USD and are read live from Stripe at build time,
the same source and the same build that renders https://www.outlinkai.com/pricing.

## Glossary
Definitions of link-building and digital-PR terms. These entries define the term itself and are written to be correct regardless of whether the reader uses Outlink AI; where a term is also something the product runs, the entry links across to the tactic page.
- [All glossary terms](https://www.outlinkai.com/glossary): Index of the 18 defined terms.
- [Link building](https://www.outlinkai.com/glossary/link-building): Link building is the practice of getting other websites to link to yours, because search engines treat a link from one site to another as a signal that the destination is worth showing to searchers.
- [Backlink](https://www.outlinkai.com/glossary/backlink): A backlink is a link on someone else's website that points to yours. It is the same object as any hyperlink - 'backlink' simply names it from the perspective of the site being linked to.
- [Digital PR](https://www.outlinkai.com/glossary/digital-pr): Digital PR is public relations run with search visibility as an explicit goal: earning coverage, citations, and links in online publications rather than pursuing print or broadcast placement for brand awareness alone.
- [Editorial link](https://www.outlinkai.com/glossary/editorial-link): An editorial link is a link someone chose to add because it was useful to their reader, with nothing given in exchange. It is the category of link search engines are trying to reward.
- [Anchor text](https://www.outlinkai.com/glossary/anchor-text): Anchor text is the visible, clickable words of a link. Search engines read it as a description of the page being linked to, which is why it influences what that page is understood to be about.
- [Dofollow vs nofollow links](https://www.outlinkai.com/glossary/dofollow-vs-nofollow): A nofollow link carries a rel="nofollow" attribute telling search engines not to pass ranking credit through it; a dofollow link is simply an ordinary link with no such attribute. 'Dofollow' is informal shorthand - there is no rel="dofollow".
- [Link equity](https://www.outlinkai.com/glossary/link-equity): Link equity is the ranking value a link passes from one page to another. It is the modern, less-jocular name for what SEOs long called 'link juice', and it descends from PageRank, Google's original method of scoring pages by the links pointing at them.
- [Domain Rating (DR) and Domain Authority (DA)](https://www.outlinkai.com/glossary/domain-rating): Domain Rating (DR) and Domain Authority (DA) are third-party scores that estimate the strength of a website's backlink profile on a 0–100 scale. DR is Ahrefs' metric and DA is Moz's; neither is a Google metric and neither is used by Google to rank anything.
- [Toxic backlink](https://www.outlinkai.com/glossary/toxic-backlink): A toxic backlink is a link from a site whose only apparent purpose is to manipulate search rankings - link farms, private blog networks, hacked pages, or directories with no editorial standard. The term is an SEO-industry label, not a Google classification.
- [Private blog network (PBN)](https://www.outlinkai.com/glossary/pbn): A private blog network is a group of websites created or bought by one owner for the purpose of linking to a target site. PBNs are a direct violation of Google's link spam policies.
- [Google link spam policy](https://www.outlinkai.com/glossary/google-link-spam-policy): Google's link spam policy is the published section of its search spam policies defining link practices Google considers manipulative - buying or selling links for ranking purposes, excessive link exchanges, large-scale automated link building, and requiring links as a condition of an agreement.
- [Guest posting](https://www.outlinkai.com/glossary/guest-posting): Guest posting is writing an article for someone else's publication, usually including a link back to your own site. It remains a legitimate tactic when the article is written for that publication's audience rather than produced primarily to place a link.
- [Broken link building](https://www.outlinkai.com/glossary/broken-link-building): Broken link building is finding links on other sites that point to pages which no longer exist, then suggesting your own working page as the replacement. The pitch works because you are reporting a real defect on someone's page, not asking a favor.
- [Unlinked mention](https://www.outlinkai.com/glossary/unlinked-mention): An unlinked mention is a place where a website names your brand, product, or research in its text without linking to you. Asking for the link to be added is one of the highest-conversion requests in link building, because the endorsement already exists.
- [HARO (Help a Reporter Out)](https://www.outlinkai.com/glossary/haro): HARO (Help a Reporter Out) was a service that emailed journalists' source requests to subscribers, who pitched themselves as expert sources in exchange for a quote and usually a link. Its owner Cision rebranded it as Connectively and then shut that service down, so the original HARO workflow no longer exists.
- [Qwoted](https://www.outlinkai.com/glossary/qwoted): Qwoted is a platform where journalists post source requests and experts pitch themselves as sources, typically earning a quote and an attributed link if selected. It is one of the services that carries the model HARO popularized.
- [Link velocity](https://www.outlinkai.com/glossary/link-velocity): Link velocity is the rate at which a site gains new backlinks over time. It is a descriptive measure SEOs track, not a documented Google ranking factor or a threshold anyone can quote.
- [Email deliverability](https://www.outlinkai.com/glossary/email-deliverability): Email deliverability is whether the messages you send actually reach the recipient's inbox rather than their spam folder or nowhere at all. For link-building outreach it is the constraint that decides whether any of the work is seen.
