We ran one link-building brief through ten blogger outreach tools: build a 312-domain prospect list, send a three-step sequence, and track which pitches turned into live links. The split was brutal. Half the field is e-commerce ambassador software that cannot place an editorial link, whatever the pricing page claims.

What surprised the team was how cleanly the category split: no platform finished all three jobs well.
