Full Transcript

I have fully automated my link building process from literally scoping out links that my competitors have, filtering out the spammy domains, and then creating a list of the backlinks I actually need to do outreach for to. And all of this is done literally by using Claude. As you can see, it's filtered out from websites DR 20 to 87. They need to at least have some form of traffic. And now it should also be pasting it into our Google Sheet. I'm going to show you guys exactly how you can set this up um from start to finish. Uh as you can see here, we've got all of our links um that have been actually found. And if we click on any one of these, some are obviously um some are obviously like directory websites that we can get listed on, some are like guest posting websites that we can get mentioned on as well. Now, you could even go one step further, and you can actually tell Claude to do the outreach for you as well. So, if say, for example, all of these websites had a contact form that required you to fill in to actually get mentioned, you could do that. Or you could even hook this up to like hunter.io, which will find the domain or the email attached to that domain as well. And it can also do the the initial outreach email for you that way as well. So, this is what you basically need. You need the Claude and Froptic Chrome extension. It is free to use. You can even use it with the free tier. I am paying for like the the more premium Claude. But the only difference that I will have is that I won't um run out of credits. Um I believe every 4 hours um you get a certain amount of credits. If you're on the complete free plan, you'll still be able to do this, but you might just run out um a little bit quicker. So, it's it's completely up to you. You can obviously test out. If you like it, you can go up to the like the paid plan as well. Um you don't need to. And once you actually have the Once you've got the Chrome extension, this is basically what it looks like. So, I've just pinned it um here. So, if I close it down, um you'll see that it it backs off. It's like a little sidebar. But what you can do is you can actually say, "My website is um kdl.com, for example. And you can give it three different competitors." So, if we were to just go to Google and search for our keyword that we wanted to rank for, let's say our competitors are in New York, so we can say, "New York law firms," right? So, we can actually go through some of these ones. Um So, we've got three different competitors here. Um we've got Rosenbaum Rosenbaum NY Law. So, we can say, "Here are my three competitors." competitors So, we've got the first one. Then we've got kdlm.com, which is our second one here. And what we'll do is we'll open up a third one as well. And we'll go with these guys. "Can you use Ahrefs link gap and find backlinks that my website is missing? Um I want a minimum DR of 15. And the website should also have a minimum DR or sorry, traffic of 500. Avoid spammy links." And we'll hit go. Or actually, what we'll say is, "Once you have found these backlinks, can you create a Google Sheet with those links?" And we'll hit go. Now, the reason why this is so good cuz obviously you you could do this manually. Um And it obviously is just going to say, "Do we approve this plan?" We're going to select yes. Now, the reason why this is so good is because you can literally be doing something else while this is obviously doing its thing, right? So, like I can actually just close this tab, and it's it's working in the background. Like I'm not I'm not doing anything right now. Um it's literally just doing its thing. So, for example, this could be doing that. We could even set up another tab to say like, "Right, start building out the content map for this website." Um if you guys want me to do a separate video on like automating your topical map with Claude, let me know down below as well. As you can see, if we wanted to be like really nerdy and just watch it do its thing, it's literally doing exactly what I would basically do. So, it's just went into the link intersect section. It is now looking at the amount of backlinks. It's going to start probably doing the filter, so a minimum DR of 15, I believe I said, and also a minimum traffic of 500 as well. And it's obviously going to avoid spammy links. Um so, it's literally just automated. I'm not like touching anything. Um it's also giving us like what it's doing at the time as well. So, it's just clicked DR 15. It's probably going to do the traffic in just a second. Let's just see. Also, one thing that Claude does is it takes screenshots after doing every task, so it knows where it's up to. It's a little bit of a dumb system. Um but I'm sure that this is going to get better and better as time goes as well. So, as you can see, domain traffic of 500, and now it's going to click on show results. I'm hoping. Let's see. Let's take a screenshot. Let's see. Yep, clicked on show results. So, we were looking at 720 backlinks. Now we're only looking at 170 backlinks. So, as you can see, it has just finished. Now, if we were to just go through some of these links, you will see that it's actually filtered out by three different intersections. So, we've got backlinks that point through to all three of our competitors, and it's listed as it's about 10. Actually, yeah, it's 10 backlinks there. Then it's got backlinks that has been mentioned or is pointing to at least two of our competitors. And again, there's a lot more of these. Um as you can see, there's probably a about How many is there? About 30 backlinks there. And then we've got backlinks that are only pointing through to one of our competitors. And one thing that it's also done as well as it's done a really good job of filtering out some of the spammier domains. Like in that industry, there are a lot of PBN links and a lot of um Fiverr uh backlinks as well that it's actually been able to filter out pretty well from that. But again, the the step after this would literally be to do outreach. Or if they are, for example, a directory, we can literally say to Claude like, "Hey, here are my company details. Can you go and get me a listing on Yellow Pages um or yell.com, for example, if if you're in the UK." Um so, it will actually go and get a free listing. It'll fill out all of this information for you. Um and it'll get your business actually listed on yell. So, it's literally automated a lot of the directory style uh of links. Um Like these All of these 10 links to begin with, these are all pretty much directories. What used to take maybe 45 minutes per website or 30 minutes per website, Claude's actually able to automate it right now for you. Now, with some of these other websites, like for example, you've got um let's say bestlawyers.com or some of these like um guest posting style websites like simplecast.com, um what you would might need to do is do actual outreach for those. Like for example, we've got a website here, and this is like just like a regular guest posting style website. So, what you would either want to do is like try and find the contact page on this website. Um or you can go to like a tool like hunter.io. This is hunter.io. And what basically what you can do is you can either paste in the actual domain name here, um and it can actually find the emails for you. Again, I'm showing you the manual way of doing this, but everything that I've just shown you, you can actually get Claude to do for you. So, this is obviously the co-founder of that website. We can click reveal. This is Kamal at IP Leaders or yeah, IP Leaders.in. And then we can basically send him out an email. When when I say we, Claude can obviously do that for you.
