Autopilot is the name for the work Serpfeed does on your behalf: the prep and the routine steps that would otherwise eat your time. Most of it just runs, so the app works for you out of the box, and you are always the one who approves anything that reaches a real person.
What runs automatically
These happen for every project, with nothing to turn on. They are free and never contact anyone.
| Runs automatically | What it does |
|---|---|
| Detect live links | Re-checks contacted and submitted links and marks them live on their own, and moves a live link to Dropped if the site later removes it. |
| Follow-up reminders | Surfaces a pre-drafted follow-up when a contact goes quiet. You set the cadence (how many days between reminders, and how many) in Linkbuilding settings. |
The two you control
These have a toggle in your Linkbuilding settings, because one spends credits and the other stages a change you should review.
| Setting | What it does | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Auto-find contact on accept | When you accept an opportunity, analyses the site and finds the contact form or email so your outreach is ready. On by default; turn it off to find contacts manually per opportunity. | 3 credits each |
| Auto-handle at-risk links | Flags toxic or broken live backlinks and prepares a ready-to-submit disavow for you to review. | Free |
Directory submissions stay a click away
On paid plans, a Submit for me button appears on clean directory opportunities: click it and Autopilot fills and submits the form for you (20 credits per directory it submits). We charge for automating the submission, not for the directory’s decision, so the credit is used once the form is submitted, whether or not that site later confirms or publishes your listing. If Autopilot can’t complete it (for example a CAPTCHA or a step only you can finish), it hands the pre-filled form back to you and that attempt is free.
Staying in the loop
Whatever Autopilot does, it tells you: the notifications bell keeps a record of every action it took, from a disavow it prepared to a directory it submitted. Nothing is hidden, and you can review it all any time.
Autopilot never emails prospects for you
