Framework: Continuous Backlink-404 Monitor

Framework: Continuous Backlink-404 Monitor

Stop running one-off sweeps. A client automated detection and reclaimed 6-9 links/month on autopilot intake.

1. Export your full backlink list weekly (running ~5,800 referring URLs).
2. Cron a status-checker over every target URL those links point at, flag new 404s (avg 11 new breaks/week).
3. QA gate: human reviews the flagged queue, drops false positives (avg 7 real/week).
4. Auto-draft outreach from a template, operator personalizes and sends.
5. Log placements, feed reply rate back into prioritization.

Result: steady 6-9 reclaims/month with ~2 operator hours/week.

Definition of done: monitor running, queue reviewed weekly, drafts sent.

Automation fits at steps 1-2 and 4 (drafting). Steps 3 and final send stay human.
