Build a list of sites that sell sponsored articles on my topic. First ask me for my topic, my brand, the countries and languages to cover, my budget per article and whether I supply the draft. Search Google in each market with serper/search for pages that invite sponsored posts, guest posts or advertisers. Add the sites that write about my topic with dataforseo/content-analysis-search. Check every candidate with dataforseo/backlinks-bulk-spam-score, dataforseo/backlinks-bulk-ranks and dataforseo/dataforseo-labs-google-bulk-traffic-estimation, and drop link farms and sites without traffic. For the 30 that remain, find the advertising or guest post page with firecrawl/map and read it with firecrawl/scrape. Where the page names no address, find the editor or partnerships lead with leadsforge/search-people and their email with leadsforge/find-emails-batch. Check every address with icypeas/verify-emails-batch. Finish with a table (site, language, offer, rates if published, link policy, contact, verified or not) and a short request for each site in its language that asks for its rates, a Sponsored label and links marked rel="sponsored", with my reply address. Before running anything, inspect each tool with inspect_tool, ask me for any input you don’t have instead of inventing it, and tell me the total price. Wait for my go. At the end, tell me what Agentik charged. ``` ## You provide - Your topic and your brand - The countries and languages to cover - Your budget per article - Whether you supply the draft or a brief ## What you get: a list of sites that sell sponsored articles, with a contact and a request for each - Sites that sell sponsored articles on your topic - Spam score, domain rank and traffic for each - Their formats, rates and link policy where published - A verified contact and a short request per site, in its language ## How to find sites that sell sponsored articles and ask for their rates in Claude or ChatGPT Prices are the most each call can reserve for this example: Two markets, 6 Google searches, 1 topic search, 200 sites checked, 30 offer pages read, 16 people looked up and 30 emails verified. ### 1.

Write the requests Your AI writes a short request per site, in its language, that asks for the rates, a Sponsored label and links marked as sponsored. Example total: at most $1.22. Each call is billed for measured usage; unused reservations are released. ## Ask it your way - Find French and Spanish sites about AI that sell sponsored articles, with their rates. - Which of these 40 sites sell sponsored posts, and do they mark paid links as sponsored? - Build a list of tech blogs in the UK that publish guest posts, with a verified contact for each. - Write a short request to each of these sites that asks for its rate card, in its language. ## Why through Agentik - Google results in each market, site metrics, page reading, people and email checks come from five providers through one connection. - Searches and site checks cost cents; you pay for contacts only when they are found. ## Good to know - Ask for a Sponsored label and links marked rel="sponsored". Google treats paid links that pass ranking credit as link spam. - Rules on prospecting emails differ by country. Say who you are, offer an opt-out, and write to the advertising address a site publishes. - Agentik finds and checks; you send the requests from your own mailbox or outreach tool. ## When to use something else To buy many placements fast without writing to anyone, use a sponsored content marketplace. This playbook finds the sites such marketplaces miss and reaches the person who sells them. ## Sponsored article outreach: questions ### Can Agentik send the emails? No. Agentik finds the sites and checks the contacts, and your AI writes the requests. You send them from your own mailbox or outreach tool. ### Will these sites publish an article about us? No one can promise that. The list starts with sites that say they sell sponsored articles, and each request asks for their terms before anything is agreed. ### Why ask for links marked rel="sponsored"? Google treats paid links that pass ranking credit as link spam. A Sponsored label and rel="sponsored" links keep the article within its rules, for you and for the site. ### What does the example cost? At most $1.22. The email lookups are the largest share, and you pay only for the addresses found. ## Keep going - [Link building prospects](/link-building-prospects.md): Pages that link to your competitors’ guides, resource pages found on Google, each one read, with a verified contact for the site. - [Media list](/media-list.md): Journalists who covered your topic in the last months, found from their articles, with their X profiles, verified emails and the story each one wrote. - [AI citation outreach](/ai-citation-outreach.md): The pages ChatGPT cites most for your category, read to see who they list, with the authors’ verified emails to ask for a mention. - [Advertising tools for your agent](/tools/advertising.md) - [SEO tools for your agent](/tools/seo.md) - [B2B data and enrichment tools for your agent](/tools/enrichment.md) [All playbooks](/playbooks.md) · [Connection guides](/docs/clients.md) · [Billing](/docs/billing.md) --- [HTML page](/sponsored-article-outreach) · [Agent index](/llms.txt)
