Unlinked mention request 
Subject: Quick follow-up on your article mention

Hi there,

Thanks for mentioning our brand in your article - really appreciated.

I noticed it wasn't linked, so I wanted to ask if you'd be open to adding a link for readers who want more context.

Either way, appreciate the mention!

Thanks again.
Broken backlink recovery request 
Subject: Broken link on your page

Hi there,

I came across a broken link on your page and wanted to flag it for you.

It currently leads to a missing page, and I wanted to suggest a working replacement if helpful.

Let me know if you'd like the updated URL.

Thanks!
Redirect/update request 
Subject: Quick question about a page update

Hi there,

I noticed a link on your page that previously pointed to our content but it looks like it may have been removed or changed during a page update.

If this was intentional, no worries - I just wanted to check in case it was accidental.

If you're open to it, we'd love to have the link restored or updated to the current URL.

Thanks for your time.

Recovery Action Checklist

Validate first. Outreach second.

  1. Confirm the referring page is live.Open the source page and confirm it still exists, loads properly, and is not blocked.
  2. Verify the link is missing or broken.Check whether the backlink was removed, changed, nofollowed, redirected, or simply moved.
  3. Confirm the page still matches your topic.Prioritize pages where your content still adds value for readers.
  4. Choose the correct outreach angle.Use unlinked mention, broken link, removed link, or redirect/update messaging.
  5. Send a short, specific email.Reference the page naturally and keep the request easy to act on.
  6. Track every response.Log sent date, follow-up date, status, and final outcome.
  7. Follow up once.Send one concise follow-up after 5-7 business days.
  8. Move on when recovery is unlikely.Do not let low-probability links consume time better spent on stronger opportunities.

Recovery Intelligence Playbook

How to decide which links deserve outreach.

Prioritize links with business value.

Start with links that support commercial pages, high-intent topics, or pages that historically contributed to search visibility.

Favor clear recovery paths.

A live editorial page with a removed or broken link is usually a better use of time than an abandoned page with unclear ownership.

Batch outreach by reason.

Group unlinked mentions, broken links, and removed links separately so each email feels specific instead of generic.
