A blind redesign pitch vs. one about their site
Most agencies offer a redesign without ever opening the prospect's website. Not because they don't care: reviewing a site properly and writing about what could be improved takes around twenty minutes, and nobody has time to do that for a hundred businesses a day. So the pitch stays generic, and owners delete it.
The email that gets answered names something specific, like a quote button hidden on mobile or a homepage that takes seven seconds to load. The owner can check it in ten seconds, and it proves you looked.
Swokei automates the looking. It reads every site in your list, finds what could be improved and writes the email about it, so every prospect gets the specific version at the pace of a template.
Every niche has its own weak spot
Target any niche in any city, and run several campaigns side by side. Inside one niche the same weak spots keep coming up, so you find many businesses with a problem you already know how to solve.
Dentists · Los Angeles. Many of them share the same weak spot: Booking hidden on mobile. Solve it once, then offer the fix to every one of them.
From a list of businesses to a booked call
Swokei does the research a good salesperson would do, for every lead. You read the emails, change anything you like, and nothing goes out until you approve it.
Find
Real businesses with a website and a verified email, by industry and location.
Analyze
Design, speed, mobile and SEO, read from the live site. Strong sites are skipped.
Write
A first email about that site's real problems, in the prospect's own language.
Send
From your own Google, Microsoft or SMTP mailboxes, with built-in warmup.
Outreach that books calls, done right
What separates outreach that fills a calendar from outreach that gets ignored.
Pick a niche and a region first
Dentists in one state, trades in one city. The problems repeat, so you learn which ones owners care about.
Keep the first email short
Point out the problem, say in one sentence why it matters, and offer to show the fix. Ask for very little.
Add follow-ups with a new angle
Two or three, a few days apart, each bringing something new instead of repeating yourself.
Protect your sending reputation
Warm up new mailboxes, send a modest number per mailbox per day, and stop on a bounce or an opt-out.

Agencies that let Swokei do the outreach
The main thing I like is that the emails actually have something relevant to say. Instead of sending the same pitch to everyone, I can mention their design, SEO or mobile experience without doing the research manually.
Great tool. I'd recommend Swokei to any web designer looking to get more web design clients.
We were already doing outreach for our web design company, but most of the time we were guessing what to say. Now we let Swokei analyze business websites, find real issues, and turn them into personalized emails we can still send at scale.
We run a small web design agency and outreach has always been one of those things we know we need to do but never had enough time for. Swokei made it much easier to keep it consistent.
We send far more outreach than before and it's more personal, not less. That combination just didn't exist for us until this.
One of my employees kept telling me to give Swokei a try. I was pretty skeptical at first, but after using it for a while, it quickly became part of our daily outreach.

Questions about cold outreach
Straight answers about the work, the tool and what it costs.
Yes, when the email is about the prospect's own website. Generic pitches get ignored; an email that names a real problem on their site, and what it costs them, is one of the few cold messages owners actually answer.
