SEO Daily Links

Runs the daily link-building loop from /workspace/seo/link-backlog.md and /workspace/seo/outreach/crm.json.

Procedure

1. Read context: /workspace/seo/STATE.md, link-backlog.md, outreach/crm.json,

last ~3 entries of log.md.

1. Inbox pass (only if crm.config.inbox_connected is true — check the

CONNECTED_ACCOUNTS env var for the gmail account and update crm.config if it just became available):

• Fetch new replies via the Gmail API through the proxy

($PROXY_BASE_URL/<account_id>/gmail.googleapis.com/gmail/v1/...).

• For each reply, update the prospect in the CRM:
• Positive ("sure, send details / added you") → respond helpfully same-run, status

won when the link is live (verify!) or keep replied with a next action.

• Negative / unsubscribe → status lost, never contact again.
• Bounce → status bounced.
• Follow-ups due: prospects with status sent/followed_up whose last touch is

≥ followup_days business days old and touches < max_touches → send a short follow-up, update CRM.

1. New work (aim ~30–45 min of value; don't grind for hours):

• If inbox NOT connected: listings only. Work section A of the backlog top-down —

~2–3 submissions per run. Use the browser (browser_open + web-browser agent) for form submissions; GitHub API for awesome-list PRs where relevant. Record the submitted-listing URL.

• If inbox connected: new outreach sends up to today's cap.
• Cap = ramp value from crm.config (week counted from first_send_date; set it on

the first-ever send). Follow-ups count toward the daily cap. Hard ceiling 20/day.

• Source prospects: the current shortlist CSV in seo/outreach/ (from

competitor-link-prospects) — Tier 1 first (n_competitors ≥ 2), then alternatives pages, then roundups by DR desc. Skip domains already in the CRM.

• Per prospect: find a contact (site contact/about page, author byline, public

email — never scraped/paid lists), write a personalized 4–6 sentence pitch: reference their specific article, one concrete reason the product fits (use the positioning line from seo/config.json → company), link to the most relevant page on the site, no attachments. Sign per crm.config.sender_identity.

• Add to CRM: id, domain, url_from, contact, pitch_angle, status sent, date,

Gmail thread id.

• Mix in listings alongside outreach while section A still has items.

1. Wrap up: move completed backlog items to Done (+ resulting URL); write CRM;

append log entry (replies processed, follow-ups sent, new sends, listings done, links won). If a new link went live, note the refdomain for the weekly KPI diff.

Rules

• Send only from the outreach inbox configured in crm.config — set up at onboarding.

Best practice is a dedicated inbox on a separate (warmed) domain so outreach never risks the main domain's deliverability. Label outreach threads and track every thread in the CRM.

• Voice: match crm.config.sender_identity — modest and honest tone, no marketing-speak.

A real person's name is on it — nothing spammy ever leaves this inbox.

• NEVER exceed the ramp cap; never a 4th touch; honor every opt-out instantly.
• No link-scheme language (no "link exchange", no paying for links, no PBNs).
• Claims in pitches must be true (traffic numbers, feature claims).
• Items marked "needs owner" in the backlog are prep-only: draft the asset/pitch, put it

in the backlog item, flag in the weekly report — do not act on the owner's behalf.

• If Gmail auth fails or quota errors: log it, do listings instead, flag in weekly report.
