# Outreach pack: SEO AI > **This is a template-quality pack.** It gives you the structure, voice rules, message templates, and objection handling for the first 50 outbound conversations. To get hand-personalized prospects with real LinkedIn URLs and detail-specific opening lines (the AfterHours-style format), commission a Phase A engagement: [/factory/operator-partnership/](/factory/operator-partnership/?from=seo-ai) ICP: Sharp, results-forward, direct. Copy leads with outcomes, not process. "Your title tag is hurting your CTR" not "We have identified a potential optimization opportunity." Numbers and rankings take center stage. The tone assumes the reader is a busy marketer or founder who wants the answer, not the lecture. Live URL: https://wishdeal.com/factory/builds/seo-ai/ GTM motion: SEO-optimized blog targeting 'AI SEO tool' + 'rank faster with AI' longtails → free trial → upgrade at 7-day paywall; supplement with affiliate seeding in r/SEO, Black Hat World, and niche Facebook groups. Voice rules: sharp, results-forward, direct. No em dashes. No AI jargon. Lead with a specific detail you can verify in 90 seconds of looking at their company. --- ## Where to find your first 50 prospects Pick ONE distribution path for the first batch. The mistake is running three half-funded channels. 1. **LinkedIn Sales Navigator search** for the ICP title at companies in the size band. Save the search. Pull 100 contacts, top 50 get the personalized first-touch. 2. **Two industry-specific Reddit / Slack / Discord communities** where your ICP hangs out. Lurk for a week. Comment for two weeks. Pitch in week three. 3. **A first-party content asset** (one-page tool, one ROI calculator, one open-source script) that the ICP would link to. Promote in two communities and one industry newsletter. Pick one. Run for 30 days. Measure response rate at touch 1, touch 2, touch 3 separately. --- ## LinkedIn first message (template - 280 to 295 chars) > Hi {first_name}, {specific_detail_about_them_or_their_company}. The thing about {their_workflow} is {the_specific_failure_mode}. {Open_question_about_how_they_handle_it}? Curious to compare notes. **Replace before sending:** - `{first_name}` - their actual first name (no "Mr/Ms") - `{specific_detail_about_them_or_their_company}` - something you found in 90 seconds (a recent post, a hire, a press release, a review) - `{their_workflow}` - the exact internal workflow this product addresses - `{the_specific_failure_mode}` - the named pain (from the dossier) - `{Open_question_about_how_they_handle_it}` - never closed-ended, always invites a comparison --- ## Email follow-up (template - 130 to 150 words) > Subject: {specific_pain_phrase} > > Hi {first_name}, > > Quick follow-up. {Their_company_or_workflow_specific_observation}. > > {Product_name} {one_sentence_what_it_does}. {One_sentence_what_changes_for_them_specifically}. > > Worth 15 minutes for a live demo? I will use {specific_scenario_from_their_world}. > > https://wishdeal.com/factory/builds/seo-ai/ > > Wes **Replace before sending:** - `{specific_pain_phrase}` - 4 to 6 word phrase that sounds like internal slack, not marketing - Keep it under 150 words. Long emails feel like newsletters. --- ## Second touch (template - 90 to 100 chars) > {first_name}, quick bump. Still on the {specific_pain_phrase} question at {company}? Wes --- ## Third touch / breakup (template - 60 to 80 words) > Subject: should I stop? > > Hi {first_name}, > > Two messages, no reply. I am not going to keep poking. If this is not the right time, no problem. If it is the right problem but I picked the wrong angle, reply with one word and I will try a different door. > > Either way, the resource is here whenever you want it: https://wishdeal.com/factory/builds/seo-ai/ > > Wes --- ## Cold-call script (45-second open) If you are calling, the first 15 seconds is everything. > "Hi {first_name}, this is Wes. I will be brief - I work on a tool for {ICP} that handles {specific_workflow}. The reason I am calling you specifically is {specific_detail}. Before I waste your time, can I ask one question about how you handle {workflow} today?" If they say yes, ask the question and shut up. If they say no or push back, this: > "Totally fair. Last thing: is this a problem you would even consider buying for, or is it baked into how you operate today? If it is baked in, I will not bother you again." This works because it gives them a clean exit, which paradoxically creates a real conversation about a quarter of the time. --- ## Likely objections (and handled responses) These are the patterns most likely to come up based on the skeptic memo for this idea. Have a one-sentence answer for each before you start outbound. - **Google's AI Overviews and SGE are actively shrinking organic click-through rates — the entire value of SEO rankings is e** - **Ahrefs, SEMrush, and Surfer SEO already ship 'AI' features; new users default to trusted brands with data moats (billion** - **AI-generated content is being algorithmically penalized or deprioritized by Google — many sophisticated buyers are now a** - **OpenAI/Anthropic API cost spikes or model deprecations can blow up unit economics; at $100/mo you have very little margi** --- ## What good looks like at 50 sends - 25 to 35 percent response rate at touch 1 (any reply, including "no") - 5 to 10 booked discovery calls - 1 to 3 paid pilots starting in week 4 - A list of objection patterns you did not expect, that update the dossier If you are below 15 percent reply rate at touch 1, the ICP is wrong or the personalization is not specific enough. Pause. Rewrite the first-message template. Send 10 more before scaling. --- ## What this pack does NOT include - Hand-personalized prospect rows with real LinkedIn URLs (that is the Phase A operator-partnership deliverable) - Verified phone numbers or email addresses (use Apollo, Clay, or an enrichment vendor; we don't ship contact data) - Tracking pixels or auto-send infrastructure (this is a copy-paste pack, never auto-send) - Compliance review for regulated verticals (legal/medical/financial - get your own review) --- *Template generated from brand brief, financial model, and skeptic memo. To get a hand-personalized 15-prospect version like AfterHours, commission a [Phase A engagement](/factory/operator-partnership/?from=seo-ai).*
