Digest ingestion
Paste request text directly or create a project forwarding address so digest emails can enter the same extraction and scoring workflow.
Journalist Request Management
Turn source requests into a focused editorial outreach pipeline
Extract opportunities from pasted or forwarded digests, score their fit with your expertise, draft a response for review, and track each request through a verified published link.
SEO Address prepares and tracks the work. You review every pitch and send it from your own inbox; the product does not autonomously contact journalists.

The outreach bottleneck
The hard part is not finding more requests—it is responding well in time
Journalist and editorial request feeds mix strong opportunities with irrelevant questions, expired deadlines, and topics outside your credible expertise. Reading every digest creates work; answering everything creates risk. A useful workflow has to reduce the pile before it creates a pitch.
SEO Address converts supplied request text into structured opportunity cards, scores each against the brand topics in your project, and explains the fit. For a promising request, it drafts a concise response from your saved expert profile. You edit the draft, send it yourself, and move the opportunity through a simple pipeline so outcomes do not disappear into a spreadsheet.
Automation handles extraction, prioritization, drafting, reminders, and record-keeping. Credibility, final wording, journalist relationships, and sending remain human responsibilities.
How it works
A controlled path from incoming request to verified result
Each stage removes administrative work without pretending that editorial judgment can be automated away.
- 1
Save the expert context once
Add the expert's name, role, bio, credentials, and preferred professional, friendly, or direct tone. This profile grounds future drafts in facts you supplied.
Output: A reusable expert profile for pitch drafting
- 2
Paste requests or forward digest emails
Supply a Qwoted, Featured, SourceBottle, Help a B2B Writer-style digest, #journorequest post, individual request, or your own notes. A project forwarding address can send digest content into the same parser.
Output: Structured opportunities with source details and deadlines
- 3
Prioritize by fit, then draft
Review the 0–100 score and its explanation. For a credible match, generate a pitch under 180 words that answers the request quickly, includes a one-line credential, and leaves bracketed placeholders instead of inventing missing facts.
Output: An editable subject line and plain-text draft
- 4
Send, record the outcome, and verify a win
Copy the reviewed pitch into your own email or submission flow, mark it sent, won, lost, or dismissed, and add the publication URL when it wins. Pending won URLs are checked for a live link to your domain.
Output: A pipeline record tied to the publication result
Workflow capabilities
Everything between a crowded digest and a clean outcome record
The product is intentionally narrower than a bulk outreach platform: it helps experts respond selectively and credibly.
Structured request extraction
Separate distinct requests and capture outlet, journalist, contact or submission URL, title, details, original URL, and deadline when present.
Explainable fit scoring
Score each supplied opportunity from 0 to 100 against the brand and project topics, then retain a short reason for the rating.
Expert-profile pitch drafts
Draft from saved bio and credentials, answer the request immediately, avoid fabricated proof, and mark missing specifics with visible placeholders.
Outcome pipeline
Keep new, drafted, sent, won, lost, and dismissed opportunities together, with active work, wins, and archived outcomes separated.
Won-link verification
After you supply the published page URL, check whether that page contains a live HTTP link to your brand domain and retain the verification state.
What an opportunity card contains
Keep the request, reasoning, pitch, and result together
A card moves through the workflow without losing the context needed to review the decision later.
The verification job checks pending won opportunities in batches. It does not crawl the web to discover unreported mentions or backlinks.

Who it is for
Designed for credible experts who need a lighter outreach operation
01
Founders and subject-matter experts
Respond to a small number of relevant requests without retyping credentials or rebuilding a pitch structure for every deadline.
02
In-house SEO and communications teams
Give request triage, expert context, draft review, and publication outcomes one shared workflow instead of scattered inbox threads.
03
Consultants managing distinct brands
Keep each project's topics, expert profile, inbound address, requests, pitches, and won links separate from the others.
What remains deliberately human
Editorial outreach works because a qualified person contributes something useful. The product supports that process without impersonating expertise or hiding automation.
- SEO Address does not automatically find every journalist request on the web. You supply requests by pasting text, forwarding subscribed digests, or adding your own notes.
- Drafts are never sent automatically. You must verify the answer, fill any bracketed placeholders, edit the message, and send it from your own mailbox or the request platform.
- A high fit score is a prioritization signal, not a guarantee of relevance, acceptance, coverage, or a backlink. The journalist and editor make the publication decision.
- Link verification checks only the publication URL attached to an opportunity marked won. It is not a web-wide backlink index and cannot discover links you have not recorded.
Common questions
Questions about journalist request management
Clear answers about scope, evidence, and what the current product actually does.
What is journalist request management software?
It organizes incoming source requests into a workflow for triage, response drafting, deadline tracking, status updates, and publication outcomes. SEO Address focuses on requests you paste or forward, then connects each one to an expert profile, fit score, editable pitch, and optional won-link verification.
Where do the journalist requests come from?
You provide them. The parser accepts pasted digest emails, individual requests, #journorequest-style posts, and free-form notes. You can also create a project-specific forwarding address for digests from services you already subscribe to. SEO Address does not claim to crawl every request source automatically.
How is opportunity fit scored?
The parser compares the supplied request with the brand and topic context in your project, returns a score from 0 to 100, and stores a short reason. The score helps sort the pipeline but should be checked by a person who can judge actual expertise and conflicts.
Does SEO Address send pitches to journalists?
No. It generates an editable draft that you can save, regenerate, and copy. You are responsible for checking every statement, filling placeholders, adapting the response, and sending it from your own email account or through the source platform.
How does the draft avoid inventing credentials?
The drafting instruction uses the expert profile you supplied and explicitly prohibits fabricated statistics, results, or credentials. If a specific fact would help but is not present, the draft should use a visible bracketed placeholder for you to complete or remove.
How are won backlinks verified?
When you mark an opportunity won, you add the published page URL. The verifier fetches that page and checks its HTTP links for your project domain. Pending wins are rechecked by the scheduled verification job until a live link is confirmed; this does not search the broader web for other links.
Does a published quote always include a backlink?
No. Editorial policies vary, and an accepted contribution may appear without a link or may not be published at all. That is why the workflow separates a won outcome from the verified-live-link state rather than treating them as the same event.
