Respona Reviews: 4.9/5 — Highly Rated

Respona's platform has consistently improved our outbound business development results. Their support is personalized and responsive. They will work with you to get the intended results.

Needs a bit more flexibility for users to customize the timing of multi-step email campaigns.

Marketing effectiveness is the main objective. Respona enables us to automate the discipline and messaging excellence that are sometimes negatively impacted by humans doing manual work.

This tool is doing a fantastic job at finding the right prospects during outreach for any LB campaign that saved us $$$, time, and an improved conversion rate. Their team genuinely cares about their customers and makes every possible effort to enhance this tool. It has become our go-to tool to build meaningful yet long-lasting relationships with people in our niche.

None that I can think of- This tool has every possible feature for link builders to try

It has sped up the process of our link building and a definite improvement in the conversion rate. It has even reduced our marketing cost up to 50% which was our main concern while using pitch box. Now the team gets enough time to focus on other technical aspects.

Made for streamlined backlink building, a tool like nonother! It's simple, clean and intuitive. Most importantly, it's designed specifically for doing one thing really well - link building. We've tried everything under the sun and Respona is by far the most competitive product on the market!

Nothing so far. Great product, great team. Keep it up!

Making link building fast and easy. Removes the clutter and helps you focus on what's most important - relationships!

I like the pitch reviewer feature that gives you feedback on the effectiveness of your pitch.

I wish the campaign process wasn't required to source contacts.

I was able to send out 5X more pitches in a quarter of the time I had originally spent.

The ability to find the right person to speak to quickly and painlessly is a massive help for our business.

Nothing, the site has worked perfectly. I am just looking for a team to be able to run it for our agency. So once we get the right people the confidence link building wont be a big issue for us.

The painful task of link building is being resolved with Respona. The speed at which we get links now is helping our business grow 10x.

The team is really helpful, the tool offers many things for SEO, and PR

It is a tool, so the outcome depends on the way you use it. As it offers many different things, it can get complicated to use it. But the support team is really reactive and has always answered all my questions very quickly and effectively. So in the end, I have nothing to complain about really.

It is great to receive some alerts when someone is talking about a subject I want to follow. It also helps me contact people with same interests

The onboarding and ongoing support was excellent

There is a large time and skill requirement for getting ROI from the software.

SEO backlinking and outreach. This system has an edge when it comes to identifying authors and people to outreach to.

Respona allows us to do quality outreach in high volume be it link building for SEO, looking for podcast opportunities, or otherwise. It streamlines the outreach process; Automates it while still allowing for personalization. It also gives a lot of insights into how your outreach campaigns are performing so that you can see where to improve.

I haven't found anything that I dislike.

We are saving a lot of time and effort while still keeping up the quality. I always hated poor-quality, templatized outreach emails but never had the time and resources to do a high volume of messages that are also quality. In the past, we missed out on a lot of opportunities because we didn't want to settle for poor quality in exchange for scalability. With Respona, we don't have to.

I have had so much help from the team at Respona. They really took the time to walk me through things and answer my questions. For someone new to outreach, it has been very helpful in understanding strategies that work and doesn't work. Not to mention that on my first campaign, I received a backlink from a high DA website.

It's a little bit of a learning curve to learn how to use the tool, but the team will help you with whatever questions you might have.

I'm optimizing my outreach. Respona helps identify opportunities and look up contacts, saving me a lot of time and effort.

Respona has helped us automate much of our outreach, especially on link-building. Identifying opportunities, finding the right person to contact and sending the emails that will get responses. It has allowed us to scale our efforts and reduce the work needed for high-quality link-building. We don't like doing mass low-quality outreach, and really qualititive SEO work and reaching out for partnerships takes a lot of time. Using Respona, the most important factor is time saved while keeping high quality personalized messages and follow ups. It still needs time to go through the process, but it cuts it down almost at half. It was also very easy to train a junior member of our team to use Respona, who was not experienced in outreaching, and she was able to use it with very little assistance in a little over a week, multiplying the value we get from there!

There are still a few refinements to be made and improvements in the discovery process (finding relevant opportunities automatically), the opportunities still need filtering. But we are using Respona for almost a year and the progress the team has made is incredible, and trust this will be even better soon.

It makes the process of outreaching fast and easy. No need to look into several sources to find the right content and person to reach out. It's all there easy and at hand. It saves incredible amounts of time, and a junior marketer can do the work of a senior outreacher with Respona.

The product solves a real need for me -- find and connect with opportunities for high quality backlinks. Beyond that, the customer support is over-the-top great! I continue to be impressed with how well they listen to customer feedback, mine in particular. Many of the issues and improvements I've personally suggested have been implemented or are in process of being implemented. This is such a good feeling as a customer -- to be heard.

I's a newer product so there are some usability issues, periodic bugs and the interface can be confusing at first.

Need for me was to scale my content marketing outreach. I've gotten this 10-fold, but also learned a lot from their team about best practices. Our domain rating has grown dramatically during the 6 months using Respona.

Respona is intuitive and easy to use. I like I can set everything based on my preference and I appreciate I can filter my searches based on domain authority. Also communication with guys from Respona is amazing. Nice support and there are video tutorials that are also helpful at the beginning of using this tool.

There is nothing I could complain about at the moment. What I am looking forward to see are upcoming integrations.

We are doing email outreach for guest posting and linkbuilding. Respona's automated email communication is a game changer!

Respona has really been created with a view to build relationships and find connections where you are supporting mutual relevance. So many platforms like a Pitchbox treat outreach as a simple numbers game, which it can be at times but I find the real gold is connecting two organizations or people where it makes sense. Ultimately that's what we are all looking for to try and grow our work and certainly what Google responds to the best.

Dislike is not the right word. I'd like to see all the blogs and knowledge base in one central location and at the top of my wish list would be a Respona University to help us onboard new team members and bring them up to speed on Respona best practices for superior results.

Creating an automated process for finding fresh opportunities that can be reviewed by a team member for relevance. The benefit is getting that email tell you that you have new opportunities fresh out of the oven waiting for you.

Respona has been awesome at removing the headache out of PR work. It basically does the hard work for you. You just have to pick the journalists you want to target and the outreach is taken care of on auto-pilot. It’s a huge time-saver and allows you to focus on the truly important hard work - building the relationship with the journalists

I can't think of anything, this is exactly the tool we were looking for!

Respona is the one-stop shop for automating PR. It solves exactly that problem, one that is very time-consuming ordinarily.

Respona is an incredibly helpful tool for anyone looking to run PR and/or link building campaigns. It saves me hours of time per week by replacing all of the manual work I used to do when it comes to not only finding target/relevant sites but also by automating the process of finding accurate and relevant contact information. I have now been able to eliminate many steps from my process and automate most of it thanks to Respona and just let all the positive responses roll into my inbox -- huge game changer!

So far, I have zero complaints about Respona. Any time there have been any doubts or minor glitches, the team at Respona has been lightning fast to respond and resolve. If you are using Respona with proper personalization in your campaigns, you will eventually end up pausing your campaigns because the results will be epic!

Finding accurate and relevant contact information for link building / guest post outreach targets, as well as several steps that once required manual work and took hours of time to complete per week. With Respona, I am able to automate the entire process and all I have to do is respond to the emails.

The automation feature for finding the right contact information. The way the tool is built, you feel safer that the prospects you're going to reach out to are the right ones. In a world of spam and unsolicited emails, Respona helps you build relationships by sending highly-personalised emails to the right people. This improves the data of your campaigns as well, since you're not reaching out to the wrong people. By trysting Respona's algorithm, you're steps ahead when it comes to link prospecting.

There's nothing we don't like about the tool so far. We believe that the way Respona is built is really smart and we can only witness improvements in terms of the product's capabilities since we started using it.

The best thing about Respona is that it saves you a lot of time trying to find the right prospects for your link building campaigns. And, it does it in a fully automated way, without having to use different software and spend time doing manual work. Traditionally, link building campaigns involve using different software (e.g., software for backlink data, software for outreach). With Respona, you have all the tools you need in one place. That, along with the fact that we don't have to do manual work anymore (e.g., for finding the right contact information) are the main problems Respona's solving for us.

Compared to the manual, tedious outreach processes I've experienced in the past, this platform is a breath of fresh air. By simply being specific with keywords, I've found myself accessing more reliable contacts and sourcing relevant information (pages that match what I'm looking for). It's easy to use and truly a time-saver. Highly recommend!"

The only comment I'll have here is that some contacts appear as an opportunity but they might end up as an error and you'll get replies from Gmail itself that it doesn't exist anymore.

It greatly helps with saving time in finding websites and companies that match our needs. And the right people to reach out to.

Customer support is amazing. You can chat with the founders at any time and they respond thoroughly and promptly. I use Respona very frequently, on a daily basis and can do so many different tasks on it. The feature where you can pull contacts by searching for a specific podcast guests is the best thing ever created. It makes finding relevant podcasts so much easier.

A lot of the contacts it pulls aren't relevant news outlets and that uses up a lot of the montly credits.

Respona is not only finding articles relevant to the topic you are looking to pitch, but it also pulls the contact for the reporter. This saves so much time.

What truly stands out about Respona is its sleek, user-friendly interface, coupled with the powerful automation it brings to our link-building. The software bundles together various outreach tasks, reducing manual labor by a long shot. The tool's ability to pull relevant prospects automatically and then put them into the outreach campaign is an enormous time-saver. With Respona, you aren’t just sending run-of-the-mill messages to a list of passive recipients. The platform equips you with highly accurate prospect information, enabling you to personalize your outreach efforts effectively and bring a human touch to the often robotic emails. This has resulted in far better responses than we ever had with any other tool.

Having canned responses would be nice. It's not really a big deal since we already have our canned responses saved in a separate file, but it would save us the copy & paste if you could have them right there, in Respona.

Earlier, our work involved juggling multiple tools and platforms to conduct research, draft emails, and track responses which was stressful and inefficient. With Respona, we have a platform that brings all these tasks together in one place. This hands-off approach to tasks allows us to better allocate our time, build more links, and just work easier.

The user-friendly dashboard and excellent overview functionality of Respona has been a standout feature for our team! It includes all the necessary information, like open rates, response rates, and follow-ups, in one single screen. This is a comprehensive display of metrics that helps us monitor our campaigns effectively and make data-driven decisions efficiently. Integrations with SEO tools are also great and help pull relevant results for our outreach campaigns, weeding out lower-quality opportunities, allowing us to only focus on the "money" prospects.

Lack of a true CRM. Right now, Respona has a relationships tab that heeps track of all your contacts, their companies, and your conversations, but it's not really a CRM. It's kind of like it, but not quite there.

"One of the significant problems we used to face in our outreach campaigns was keeping track of conversations and follow-ups. Not anymore! With Respona’s fantastic team inbox feature, one can track all conversations right from the tool. It is incredibly straightforward and organized. In addition to that, the tool impressively predicts the response rate of individual email pitches before they’re sent out, while respecting GDPR and data privacy conditions."

"Respona has revolutionized our day-to-day link-building. Its advanced search engine stands out as a favorite, enabling us to quickly discover and evaluate prospects, sparing us from trawling through the the internet manually or having to check backlink profiles one-by-one. I also like how easily you can create highly-targeterd email campaigns. Tailor each email to its recipient is effortless, and improves the chances of actually getting links. Plus, its automated follow-ups ensures no prospect is wasted."

It would be nice if the default backlink data was coming from Ahrefs. Right now, it's from Moz, and you can only use Ahrefs if you already have an Ahrefs account and connect it to Respna. In my experience, Moz backlink data isn't the best, but at least it's free for all Respona users.

Respona resolves the often chaotic and fragmented nature of link-building by providing a cohesive and user-friendly platform to manage all aspects of email outreach. It has cleared our desk from the multiple tools we previously required and the endless searches for viable link prospects, streamlining our workflow immensely.

Respona's real-time email verification system eliminates a lot of guesswork, and the automatic contact searches save me tons of time. All I have to do is check the results, where as previously i would have to do all of the prospecting myself. The same applies to finding link opportunities - the content search engine is fully automated as well. Again, I just have to check the results - and I can run countless queries at the sametime. I also like the campaign templates - they automatically set advanced search operators to find the exact opportunities I'm looking for.

I wish there was a way to view all opportunities in a campaign in a single list. Scrolling from left to right isn't the best, but it works.

Just how much time outreach used to take and manage.

It's handy to have everything in one platform as opposed to multiple different tools. The prospecting search engine, the contact finder, the shared inbox, the campaign analyitcs - I can't even describe how cumbersome our previous approach felt in comparison to Respona. It's like switching to a ferrari after riding a horse for 20 years. Yes, it did the job, but now it's so much faster.

My main dislike is the pricing; as a start-up, the Standard plan isn't really worth it on its own - either get the Unlimited, or pay for extra sender emails and credits.

Having everything in one place saves us valuable time and allows us to achieve our targets more efficiently.

I'm fond of Respona's shared workspace feature - it's fantastic for collective brainstorming, especially when you're part of a large team like me. With everyone having access to the same campaigns, insights, templates, contacts, and the unsubscribe list, it's really easy to see what's going on. Also, for example, I can start a campaign, launch a few opportunities, and my colleagues can pick up where I left of with no hassle - very handy. In the same way, when I'm not around, someone else can answer my leads (we're all working on link building anyway), boosting our efficiency.

However, I feel there's scope for improvement in the SEO metrics. A more in-depth and detailed report would be nice. Right now, you have your basic domain authority, traffic, and spam score (which is enough for link building), but a little bit more depth would be appreciated.

Respona effectively solved the chaotic state of our outreach campaigns. Through its comprehensive company employee data and content search engine, we've been able to target and reach out to the right audience with more precision than ever. This has led to more meaningful conversations and a boost in our performance.

I love the podcast search feature. It's very niche, but works great for us. I have yet to see another email outreach tool that can put you in touch with podcast owners so quickly. And when you do a podcast search, it already comes with pre-defined contacts that are pulled from listen notes, so you don't have to sit there and wait for emails to be found. It even pulls the podcast audio into the personalization stage so you don't even have to leave the tool to listen to it.

At times, I find the real-time email verification slow, and working on larger (several hundred emails big) campaigns seems to lag a little bit. I believe a speed upgrade could greatly enhance this, but it's not a dealbreaker.

Instead of juggling multiple tools and platforms, we have a one-stop solution, increasing our productivity and overall effectiveness in campaigns.

It's extremely easy to navigate and the comprehensive analytics provides deep insights into campaign performance. This applies on both individual and global levels. For example, we can set up two separate campaigns with slightly different pitches and see how well each performs to find out what works best. And it's not bloated with unnecessary features and UI elements, everything is laid out in front if you exactly where you would expect it to be.

The support team is in diferent timezones than us, so sometiemes I have to wait a few hours for a Response. But most of the time, I get a reply within a couple of minutes at most.

Respona solves the problem of scattered outreach efforts by bringing everything under one umbrella.

The best thing about Respona is that it's so user-friendly; everything is well structured and easy to find. I had an onboarding, and three hours later I already had two campaigns locked and loaded. And on the next day, I was already getting backlinks from it.

I feel the default email template designs could benefit from improvement - they are pretty cookie-cutter. But it's just the default templates anyway, you're supposed to come up with your own.

Respona has been particularly effective in eliminating the toil of manual link-building and prospect searches. It has increased our productivity and resulted in more success overall.

The dashboard and account are insanely clear to use. Respona provides its users with a great variety of content and contact finding. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that they have all the useful email templates and spa checks I need for my work. One more thing I am happy about is that they have a dedicated team who presented to me a detailed onboarding session and answered all my silly questions. Moreover, if I have any troubles, the support team answers fast.

If it is time to pay for your account, unfortunately, all the sections of Respona get blocked until you pay. You need to keep it in mind that you won't be able to check who of your team has the access to the account.

Here I have some things to share. * I don't do spamming any more and my email doesn't get blocked becase I sent a lot of letters at one time. I am a Partnership Manager and sometimes I need to send the same letter template to a lot of people. Now I can do that without any worries. *The process of finding any source is flexible and I can set extra tools to find what I need. *Also, if I don't need any help with looking for contacts or sources, I can just upload my own list and work with it inside Respona.

I love how Respona provides so many templates for various campaigns and contact search automation. This feature is particularly helpful for beginners who are just getting started with email outreach. By offering a variety of pre-made templates, Respona makes it incredibly easy to jumpstart my outreach efforts. Plus, having these templates really helps save a ton of time that would otherwise be spent crafting emails from scratch. The time saved can then be dedicated to other essential aspects of the business. Overall, Respona's user-friendly interface and ready-to-use templates make it the go-to tool for efficient email outreach.

One aspect of Respona that could use some improvement is the inbox management and organization. Currently, when I receive a second or third reply from a respondent, the message remains marked as read, so I missed some important responses. It would be great if Respona could enhance this feature so that the inbox automatically updates to display unread messages when a new response is received. Having this minor issue resolved would make it even more convenient to use Respona for handling all email outreach tasks smoothly.

By automating my contact search and streamlining the outreach email process, Respona saves me a substantial amount of time and effort. The time I save can then be allocated towards other important aspects of my business, such as relationship-building, strategic planning, and generating new ideas for future campaigns.

Automation features where you can get the contact info in a quick and easy manner is a very good feature

There is still no link tracking feature for the ones who give us a backlink but do not respond

Makes my outreach process very simple and manageable
