AIclicks has always shown you where you're missing. 

Your Sources tab lists the exact third-party pages cited for the prompts you track (listicles, comparisons, "best tools" roundups) with competitors named in them and you nowhere to be found.

Knowing that gap is easy, but acting on it is the real work: track down the author, work out who controls the edit, pitch them, agree on a price, chase it to the finish. Across a few hundred pages, that's a full-time job nobody on your team has the hours for.

Introducing Outreach Agent. 🎉

A new tab in your Actions, run by an AI agent that handles that entire pipeline for you. 

All you need to do is: add funds and create a draft (in 2 mins using AIclicks). The agent finds the contacts, negotiates the placements, and gets your brand into the pages AI answers actually read.

Why These Pages Move Your Visibility

Third-party pages are what the models actually read. 

Ask ChatGPT or Perplexity for the best tool in your category and the answer gets built from roundups and comparisons (majority of times), not from your homepage.

If a competitor sits in those pages and you don't, the model has plenty to cite about them and nothing about you. 

Getting into the same sources is the most direct way to change what the answer says. It's also the gap AIclicks has been surfacing all along, and Outreach Agent closes it.

How Agent Does

AIclicks ranks every target by how much it's worth winning: how many of your prompts the page touches, and how often it surfaces in answers. The agent starts with the biggest movers and works down, so your budget goes where it changes the most answers.

For each target, the agent:

  1. Finds the contact; the author or editor who controls the page

  2. Makes the pitch for your offer

  3. Negotiates the price, closing only if it lands under the per-link cap you set

  4. Coordinates the placement, gets your draft added and confirm when it's live

You track all of it from one table. Each row moves from awaiting payment to an estimated price, then a final agreed one, with a live status the whole way through.

How Outreach Agent Works

Getting a campaign live takes about a minute:

  1. Open ActionsOutreach. Your targets are already queued and ranked by impact.

  1. Set your per-link cap ($250 minimum), the most you'll pay for any single placement.

  2. Add your draft, so the agent has your messaging to place.

  3. Fund your budget ($1,000 minimum) to launch. Outreach Agent starts straight away and draws down only as links go live.

  4. Track every placement from the same table, from estimated price through to live.

From there it runs on its own, and you only pay for the mentions that land.

What You Control

You fund the campaign, set the cap, and supply the draft. The AI agent finds the pages, the people, and the price.

Three things stay entirely in your hands:

  • The budget: Campaigns start at $1,000, and it only draws down as placements go live. Money you don't spend stays yours.

  • The ceiling: Set a per-link cap ($250 minimum) and the agent treats it as a hard limit, walking away from any page that won't come in under it. You decide what a placement is worth before a single conversation starts.

  • The message: You give the draft (you can create using AIclicks), so what ends up on the page is your positioning, in your words. The AI agent places it; it doesn't write it for you.

Everything past that point is the agent's problem: who to contact, how to pitch, what to negotiate. 

Also, you pay for the placements that landed, not the effort that didn't. 😉

About The Money, Plainly

Many of these placements are paid. 

Some publishers charge a fee to add a mention; others take a reciprocal link or a content contribution instead. 

Either way, the agent shows you the terms before anything is agreed, so nothing goes live without the numbers in front of you. 

Of course, no surprise invoices, no mystery link schemes.

Two honest notes

  • Publishers say no sometimes, and the ones that say yes can take a few weeks to update their pages. Results compound over time rather than landing overnight.

  • The queue is only as good as your setup. The more accurate your tracked prompts and competitors, the sharper the targets the agent goes after.

Get started

Outreach Agent lives under Actions, next to Create Content and Get Mentioned. If your Sources list keeps filling with pages you're not on, this is the tab that does something about it.

That's Outreach Agent.
