Understanding Prospect Evaluation
Relevance Score (0-100)
- 80-100 — Highly relevant; same niche, similar audience
- 60-79 — Good relevance; overlapping topics
- 40-59 — Moderate relevance; adjacent niche
- Below 40 — Filtered out automatically
Swap Potential
- High — Strong candidate for link exchange. Similar authority level, active blog, and clear mutual benefit.
- Medium — Worth contacting but may need more convincing. Good content but different audience size or focus area.
- Low — Long shot. Limited overlap or significantly different authority level.
Tips for Best Results
- Use specific keywords — "Norwegian SEO agency blog" is better than "SEO"
- Include 3-5 keywords — More keywords = more diverse prospects
- Start with 10 partners — Quality over quantity; focus on high-potential first
- Personalize before sending — The AI templates are a starting point; add a specific reference to their recent article or project
- Follow up — Use the follow-up template after 5-7 days if no response
- Track results — Keep a spreadsheet of who you contacted and their response
Outreach Best Practices
The generated outreach emails follow a value-first approach:
- Compliment their work — Reference something specific about their website
- Offer value — Explain what you can provide (content, links, exposure)
- Make it easy — Suggest a specific page or article for the link
- Be brief — Nordic business culture values directness and efficiency
- Follow up once — A single polite follow-up is appropriate; more is spam

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is link exchange safe for SEO?
A: Yes, when done correctly. Google accepts natural link collaborations between relevant websites. The key is relevance and quality — not quantity. Avoid excessive reciprocal linking with irrelevant sites.
Q: How many prospects does it typically find?
A: Between 5 and 20 quality prospects depending on your niche and keywords. Very narrow niches may produce fewer results.
Q: Are the outreach emails ready to send?
A: They are a strong starting point. We recommend adding a personal touch — reference a specific article on their site, mention a shared connection, or add your own voice.
Q: Can I use this for international link building?
A: Yes. Enter English keywords for international prospects, or Norwegian keywords for Nordic-focused outreach.
Q: What if I get no high-potential prospects?
A: Try broader keywords, a different niche description, or increase the partner count. Some niches have fewer active blogs and resource sites.
