Scaled Link Outreach Operations
Use this skill to run higher-volume link outreach without losing relevance, deliverability, tracking discipline, or compliance hygiene.
This skill is derived from Garrett French and Eric Ward's Ultimate Guide to Link Building and uses transformed guidance with durable book-topic references. Do not copy book prose into user outputs.
Quick Start
Use the Contents table below to choose the smallest useful reference set.
Use workflows/operate-scaled-outreach.md for a full operating pass.
Scale only after the offer and prospect segment are proven.
Pilot a small batch before sending the whole list.
Diagnose replies by segment, offer, subject, personalization, and deliverability.
Default Output
When asked for scaled outreach help, return:
Campaign model - offer, segment, list source, send volume, and risk constraints.
Segmentation and variables - what uses templates, personalization, suppression, and manual review.
Pilot plan - sample size, success thresholds, failure signals, and expansion rule.
