SiteTypes helps SEO teams, outreach agencies, and marketers automatically identify content-driven websites from raw domain exports.

Upload mixed website lists and quickly separate blogs, editorial websites, media platforms, and outreach-friendly domains from ecommerce stores, company websites, directories, and irrelevant platforms.

The Problem With Raw SEO Prospect Lists

Most SEO prospecting workflows start with messy exports.

Teams usually collect domains from:

  • Ahrefs Content Explorer
  • Semrush exports
  • Google search scraping
  • competitor backlink research
  • guest post research
  • custom crawlers
  • manually collected prospect lists

The problem is that most exports contain mixed website types.

A typical list may include:

  • SEO blogs
  • niche blogs
  • media websites
  • SaaS company websites
  • ecommerce stores
  • agencies
  • marketplaces
  • directories
  • unrelated platforms

Manual review quickly becomes the bottleneck.

Teams often spend hours opening websites individually just to understand:

  • whether the website publishes editorial content
  • whether outreach makes sense
  • whether the niche is relevant
  • whether the site looks active
  • whether the website is suitable for guest posting or link outreach

This slows down outreach workflows and creates inconsistent prospect quality.

How SiteTypes Helps

SiteTypes automatically classifies websites from raw domain exports and identifies content-driven websites suitable for outreach workflows.

Instead of manually reviewing domains one by one, teams can quickly isolate:

  • SEO blogs
  • niche blogs
  • editorial websites
  • online magazines
  • media-style platforms
  • outreach-friendly websites

The system also detects:

  • niche categories
  • website type
  • CMS / website engines
  • language signals
  • outreach suitability patterns

This makes large prospect lists easier to filter, organize, and prioritize before outreach begins.

Workflow

1. Export or collect domains

Start with a raw list of domains collected from:

  • Ahrefs
  • Semrush
  • Google search results
  • competitor backlink exports
  • Content Explorer
  • custom prospect databases

At this stage, the list usually contains mixed website types that require manual filtering.

2. Upload your list

Paste domains directly into SiteTypes or upload a CSV file for analysis.

The system processes each domain individually and extracts structural website signals automatically.

Large lists can be reviewed much faster than opening websites manually one by one.

3. Automatically identify SEO blogs and content-driven websites

SiteTypes detects content-focused websites and separates them from:

  • ecommerce stores
  • company websites
  • directories
  • marketplaces
  • non-editorial platforms

The system can also identify:

  • WordPress blogs
  • media websites
  • niche publications
  • magazine-style websites
  • editorial platforms

Additional signals may include:

  • niche category
  • CMS
  • language
  • audience geography patterns

4. Build cleaner outreach prospect lists

Once classified, teams can focus directly on:

  • outreach-friendly blogs
  • editorial websites
  • guest post opportunities
  • niche content websites
  • relevant media platforms

This reduces time wasted reviewing irrelevant websites before outreach even starts.

Example Workflow

An outreach team exports 6,000 domains from Ahrefs Content Explorer using SEO-related keywords.

The raw export contains:

  • SEO blogs
  • ecommerce websites
  • SaaS company websites
  • media platforms
  • agencies
  • directories
  • unrelated domains

Instead of manually opening websites one by one, the team uploads the list into SiteTypes and filters content-driven websites suitable for editorial outreach.

The result is a cleaner outreach prospect list that requires significantly less manual qualification before campaigns begin.

Before / After

Raw list (potentialy content-driven)

Raw SEO exports often contain:

  • mixed website types
  • irrelevant domains
  • ecommerce stores mixed with blogs
  • agencies mixed with editorial websites
  • low-quality directories
  • manual review requirements

Large exports usually require hours of opening domains individually before outreach can begin.

After classification, teams can:

  • isolate SEO blogs
  • separate content-driven websites
  • remove ecommerce and company websites
  • group websites by niche
  • identify WordPress blogs and editorial platforms
  • prioritize outreach-friendly domains

The result is a cleaner and more operational outreach workflow.
