Listicle Outreach Email Template

Cold email pitch to get added to competitor comparison listicles

A concise outreach message designed to pitch authors of existing listicles and competitor roundups. It highlights a missing use case rather than asking for a blind mention, offering ready-made facts, screenshots, and product limits for their next update.

How it works

"Your article covers A, B, and C, but it does not include an option for teams that need [missing use case]. We made a sourced comparison with the facts, screenshots, and limits. I can send the short version for your next update."

What it's for

  • Pitch authors of competitor listicles to get your product included
  • Identify missing angles or specific use cases in existing roundup articles
  • Provide ready-to-publish comparison data and screenshots to content editors

Key points

  • Acknowledges the existing tools mentioned in the author's listicle
  • Identifies a specific unaddressed audience or missing use case
  • Offers pre-packaged comparison material including facts, screenshots, and product limits
  • Proposes a low-friction follow-up offering a short summary for their next content refresh
