Mentiohunt is a managed backlink placement autopilot for B2B SaaS teams that finds high-fit sites, runs outreach, and coordinates placements end-to-end — you simply approve or reject.
What is Mentiohunt?
Mentiohunt is a software tool that automates the entire link building workflow. You provide your product URL, and it crawls your site, discovers relevant guest post, resource page, and editorial mention opportunities, evaluates each for fit (topical relevance, audience overlap, organic traffic), and drafts personalized outreach emails. It runs on the web and was built by Nicolas More, a founder who built backlinks manually for his own products before automating the process.
Key Features
- Live real-time discovery — Scrapes opportunities every run (not from old databases) so DR, traffic, and contact details are current.
- Fit scores with rationale — Every opportunity includes a plain-language reason why your content fits (e.g., “How-to angles earning +18% acceptance in your category”).
- Managed outreach with approval — You review the target site, fit rationale, and email draft before any email is sent; approve with one click or reject.
- Replaces the entire link building stack — No need for separate tools like Ahrefs, Instantly, or Hunter; Mentiohunt handles prospecting, email writing, and follow-ups.
- Zero-commission pricing — Flat monthly fee ($49 or $99) with no markup on placements; you see what the site owner charges.
- Automatic quality filters — PBNs, link farms, and low-traffic sites are excluded; only real editorial placements with organic traffic appear in your queue.
- Daily opportunity queue — New prospects are surfaced every day, ranked by fit score, and adaptive learning improves the queue over time based on acceptance rates.
Who is it for?
- Founder-led growth teams — Solo founders who publish but can’t dedicate 10+ hours/week to prospecting and outreach.
- Small marketing teams — Lean content/SEO teams needing a repeatable backlink pipeline without managing campaigns.
- Growth and SEO leads — In-house managers at B2B SaaS who own link building but can’t afford to run outreach operations internally.
Use cases
- Guest posting — Get matched to blogs that accept guest contributions with a ready-to-review pitch.
- Product roundups and listicles — Land mentions in comparison articles and “best of” lists targeting your competitors.
- Editorial backlinks — Secure natural citations in relevant industry articles without paying a per-link fee.
How does it work?
- Setup — Add your product URL; Mentiohunt crawls your entire site to understand your content and topics.
- Daily discovery — It scans thousands of sites for relevant placement opportunities, scoring each for fit.
- Approval — You review opportunity cards (site name, DR, traffic, fit reason, email draft) and approve or reject.
- Outreach — Approved opportunities trigger personalized email outreach with follow-ups; you don’t manage any threads.
Pricing
Freemium with a 7-day free trial (no credit card required). Paid plans start at $49/month (Pro: 1 website, 10 competitors) and $99/month (Growth: up to 5 websites, unlimited competitors). Both include daily discovery, ranked queues, fit scores, and suggested outreach angles.
Pros and cons
Pros: Transparent pricing with no hidden markups; live data ensures high deliverability; approval workflow gives full control; replaces multiple tools and manual work.
Cons: Narrow-B2B SaaS niches may yield fewer total opportunities (though fit scores are higher); AI-generated email drafts require human review for tone (though this is built into the workflow).
FAQ
How is Mentiohunt different from a link building agency?
Agencies charge a retainer plus commission on each link, and you rarely see how they found the placement. Mentiohunt charges a flat software fee, shows you every target site before outreach, and lets you approve each pitch.
Does Mentiohunt write the outreach emails?
Yes. Each email is AI-assisted but personalized per site — not mass-templated. You review every draft and nothing sends without your approval.
How long until I get my first backlink?
Most customers see their first placed link within 14–21 days of setup. Discovery starts immediately after adding your URLs.
What happens if my niche has few link opportunities?
Mentiohunt focuses on high-quality, niche-specific sites (competitor backlinks, industry directories, resource pages) rather than generic lists. Fewer total opportunities but higher fit scores per opportunity.
