Introducing Linkly to Indie Hackers. Do you think it makes sense?

I have been working on my project - Linkly.digital since 9 months.
It's a link-building network to quickly connect with active link builders & build backlinks with A-B-C link exchange or guest blogs.

Problem (TL;DR version) - Off-page SEO (link building) is hard, it takes a lot of time, cost & effort.

Prospective target audience (as of now) - Sites which can gain business by ranking in SEO. Most active niches as of now are SAAS & Digital Marketing.

Problem (detailed version)
I have been working in SEO for 8 years, while on-page & technical SEO can be done by following a checklist, off page SEO is not. It is very close to running a cold outreach sales engine.

Let me discuss the problem in detail

A normal cold emailing process looks something like this
1 - Site prospecting - Make a list of sites to get a backlink from
2 - Contact prospecting - Make a list of contacts worth approaching
3 - Verify emails - Verify emails
4 - Send a 4-7 sequence of cold emails that runs for 5-15 days

The funnel also looks like this
Email sent (100%) → Open (40%) → Reply(20%) → Say Yes(10%) → Actually do it (3-5%)

Why not just talk to these 3-5% of users.
That's the core idea behind Linkly.

Why did I think of solving this problem ?
I have an experience of more than 8 years in SEO, Growth & building & growing products. After working on multiple projects, I realized this problem because everyone doing link building is doing same steps again & again.

Eager to know what the Indiehackers community thinks about Linkly, honest feedback, who could be a target customer, or any possible problems that we should consider while we develop this network.
