# Guest Blogging Opportunity Research

Find relevant guest-blog targets and research suitable contacts for reviewed outreach.

## Required Aident Actions

- <action-tag>composio:semrush_tools:semrush_backlinks</action-tag> (required inputs: target, target_type): Fetches backlinks for a specified domain or URL as a semicolon-delimited CSV string (parse with `sep=';'`); allows customization of columns, sorting, and filtering. Consumes Semrush API credits per request. Ensure...
- <action-tag>direct:apollo_lead_ops_tools:apollo_find_leads_by_icp</action-tag> (required inputs: icp, maxLeads): Search Apollo for people by ICP and return candidate leads with persisted run metadata. For account-first prospecting, call apollo_find_organizations_by_icp first and pass shortlisted domains as...

Use Aident Loadout to read the current Action schema before constructing inputs. Check the required integration connection in Aident Vault. If an Action is billable or mutating, run Aident preflight, show the affected target and quoted cost or risk, and wait for explicit user confirmation before execution.

## Workflow

1. Confirm the requested outcome, source material, destination, audience, constraints, and acceptance criteria.
2. Apply the source-derived guidance below to create a concrete plan. Resolve ambiguity before invoking an Action.
3. Select only the Aident Actions whose documented effect directly advances the requested outcome. Do not invoke every listed Action by default.
4. Inspect the current schema and prepare the minimum valid input for each selected Action.
5. Preflight each selected Action. Execute it only after any required confirmation, in dependency order, and carry returned IDs or asset URLs into later steps.
6. Verify the returned IDs, URLs, statuses, or artifacts against the acceptance criteria. Report partial completion precisely and do not repeat paid or mutating calls blindly.

## Source-Derived Guidance

- Collect the site, topic clusters, target audience, market, authority threshold, and excluded domains.
- Use composio:semrush_tools:semrush_backlinks to find sites already linking to relevant content and assess topical fit.
- Deduplicate and shortlist domains using relevance, quality, recency, and editorial suitability rather than authority alone.
- After approval, use direct:apollo_lead_ops_tools:apollo_find_leads_by_icp with shortlisted domains to find likely editorial or marketing contacts.
- Return researched opportunities and personalized pitch angles without sending outreach.

## Execution Boundaries

- Treat upstream provider-specific commands as background knowledge only. Execute the workflow through the exact Aident Actions above.
- Never request raw credentials in chat. Use Aident Vault connection flows for required accounts.
- Preserve user-provided wording, brand constraints, rights restrictions, and target identifiers. Do not invent authorization.
- Stop when a required integration is disconnected, preflight rejects the input, the target is ambiguous, or the user declines a required confirmation.

## Output

Return the execution plan, selected Action names, confirmed targets, Aident result identifiers or asset URLs, verification evidence, and any remaining blocked step.
