Backlink outreach

Build a small, qualified editorial-link pipeline from the user's real content. Research and drafting may run autonomously. Sending an email or submitting a form is a separate, user-approved phase.

• Guest post: find or review a publication, understand its guidelines and archive, propose an article, and apply to contribute.
• Niche edit: start from a page URL supplied by the user, inspect the page and its contact route, choose the user's most relevant existing content, and ask for a useful contextual link. Read references/niche-edits.md for this mode.

Keep the mode explicit in the campaign log. Do not turn a niche-edit request into guest-post prospecting unless the user asks for new prospects.
