Eight linkable assets, and the 121 places to pitch them

A production plan for each asset, plus a tiered outreach list with real domain authority and verified contact routes. All data pulled 2026-07-26.

Why any of this matters. newtoboulder.com currently has 0 referring domains. aboutboulder.com has 886 and 8z.com has 769. You will not close that gap by publishing good guides, because nobody links to a good guide. They link to a number they need to cite. Every campaign below exists to manufacture a number that does not currently exist.

The threshold, and how to read the list

I set the floor at domain authority 45. Every figure in the DA column is a real DataForSEO rank on a 0 to 100 scale, pulled 2026-07-26, not an estimate. 121 targets are listed and all but the final group clear 45.

Contact routes marked VERIFIED returned HTTP 200 when I checked them on 2026-07-26. The rest name the route rather than a URL, because I would rather tell you where to look than hand you a link I have not opened.

On individual journalists. I have deliberately not compiled a list of named reporters with personal email addresses. Those change constantly, guessed addresses bounce and get you filtered, and scraping personal contact details is a good way to land on a blocklist. The durable method: search the outlet for recent bylines on housing, insurance, or growth, then use the contact detail that reporter publishes themselves on the outlet's staff page or their own social profile. One correctly-targeted reporter beats fifty scraped addresses, every time.

The eight campaigns

Ordered by what I would build first, not by size.

1. The Boulder Insurance Availability Tracker

Build this first HB25-1182 took effect on 1 July 2026, three weeks ago.

This is the strongest asset on the list, and the timing is the reason. Colorado House Bill 25-1182 took effect on 1 July 2026. It requires any property insurer using a wildfire risk model to disclose that model to the commissioner and the public, to factor property-specific and community-level mitigation into pricing or else offer explicit discounts, to post available mitigation savings on its own website, and to send every policyholder an annual written notice stating their wildfire risk score, with a right to appeal that score directly to the insurer.

That last part is the story. Thousands of Boulder County homeowners are about to receive a wildfire risk score in the mail, most of them for the first time, and there is no plain-English resource explaining what the number means or how to appeal it. Reporters covering this need something to link to and it does not exist yet.

How to build it
  1. Read the enacted bill text and the fiscal note at leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb25-1182. That is the spine of the whole asset and it is free.
  2. Track the Division of Insurance rulemaking. The act authorizes the commissioner to adopt rules, so the operational detail lands there, not in the statute.
  3. Because insurers must now post mitigation savings publicly, build a table of what each major Colorado carrier actually publishes: which discounts, what evidence they require, and whether they name a wildfire model. That table is the asset. It is compiled from public pages, so it is defensible and repeatable.
  4. Add a plain-English "how to appeal your wildfire risk score" walkthrough, built strictly from the statutory language plus DOI guidance.
  5. Add the Boulder County layer: which zones carry wildfire designation, and what that means for a quote.
  6. Re-check quarterly. Log every change with a date. The changelog is what makes it a tracker instead of an article.
Effort

High to build, roughly 2 to 3 focused weeks. Low to maintain, about half a day per quarter.

Who to pitch

Tiers 1, 2, 3, 4, plus the Division of Insurance and the wildfire nonprofits.

Watch out: Insurance is a regulated topic. Report what carriers and the state publish, cite it, date it, and never characterize any specific homeowner's coverage or give advice. State plainly on the page that it is not insurance advice.

2. The Annual Boulder Newcomer Survey

Build second, then repeat every year Original data nobody can dispute or duplicate.

Survey data is the most reliable link magnet that exists, because a journalist can cite a finding without having to trust your analysis. It also compounds: year two lets you publish change over time, which is a second story from the same instrument.

Nobody has ever asked Boulder newcomers what actually surprised them. That is a genuinely open question about a city that gets written about constantly.

How to build it
  1. Write 12 to 15 questions, no more. Mix numeric (what did you underestimate, by how much) with categorical (what nearly stopped you moving) and one free-text.
  2. Ask the questions that produce headlines: what surprised you most, what did you underestimate financially, did you consider a surrounding town instead, would you move here again, are you still here.
  3. Recruit free through r/boulder, Boulder-area Facebook groups, Nextdoor, and CU parent and staff networks. Ask moderators first rather than dropping a link.
  4. Aim for 200 or more responses. Below about 150 the subgroup cuts get too thin to be quotable.
  5. Publish full methodology: field dates, recruitment channels, sample size, and the fact that it is a self-selected online sample rather than a probability sample. Journalists will use a self-selected survey if you are honest about what it is, and will avoid one that hides it.
  6. Publish the question wording and the topline numbers openly. Hiding the instrument kills citations.
Effort

Moderate. About a week to design and field, a few days to write up. Repeats cheaply.

Who to pitch

Tiers 1, 2, 3, 6, 7. Movers and relocation brands love survey data and will republish it.

Watch out: Never describe a self-selected online survey as representative. That one word is the difference between being cited and being discredited.

3. What Boulder Newcomers Actually Search

Cheapest to produce, and uniquely yours Search-volume data nobody else buys for a town this size.

You already own DataForSEO. Essentially nobody purchases search-volume data for a city of about 100,000 people, which means you can publish a fact that exists nowhere else: the ranked list of questions people actually type before moving to Boulder, with real monthly volumes.

I ran a first pass on 2026-07-26 to confirm the data is there. It is. A seed pull on "boulder colorado" filtered to question phrasing returned 90 questions with real volume attached, topped by distance-to-Denver queries at 2,400 a month, "what is there to do in Boulder" at 1,300, "is Boulder Colorado a good place to live" at 390, and "is Boulder Colorado safe" at 320.

How to build it
  1. Widen the seed set well beyond one term: moving to Boulder, living in Boulder, Boulder neighborhoods, Boulder cost of living, Boulder schools, Boulder jobs, Boulder rent, Boulder weather, plus each surrounding town.
  2. Filter to genuine question phrasing, then hand-sort into relocation intent versus tourism and CU-admissions intent. My first pass is heavily contaminated with both, so this sorting step is the actual work and it cannot be skipped.
  3. Group into themes: cost, safety, weather, commute, schools, culture, the leaving-Boulder questions.
  4. Publish the full table with volumes, plus a short read on what the pattern reveals. The most quotable angle is usually the gap between what locals assume outsiders wonder about and what they actually ask.
  5. Re-run annually to show what changed.
Effort

Low. Two to three days, mostly the manual intent sorting.

Who to pitch

Tiers 1, 2, 3, 7. This is a features and columnists pitch, not a news-desk pitch.

Watch out: Search volumes are platform estimates, not census counts. Say so, and name the tool and pull date.

4. The Boulder Move-In Cost Index

Best recurring asset, and best advertiser fit A number that gets re-cited every quarter.

Everyone publishes home prices. Nobody totals what it actually costs to land in Boulder: first month, last month, security deposit, movers, utility connection fees, internet install, parking permit, pet deposit, vehicle registration, driver's licence.

Recurring numbers become citation habits. Once a reporter cites your Q3 figure, they come back for Q4 without being pitched. That is the whole point.

How to build it
  1. Fix the basket precisely and never change it silently: a one-bedroom rental, a two-bedroom rental, and a median-priced purchase.
  2. Rent and deposit inputs come from Zillow, which you already pull. Your site currently carries a $2,439 asking rent for June 2026.
  3. Moving costs: collect published quotes from the same set of local movers each quarter, same origin city, same volume. Consistency matters more than precision.
  4. Utility connection and permit fees come from City of Boulder and Xcel published schedules. Vehicle registration and license fees come from Colorado DMV schedules.
  5. Publish the total, the per-line breakdown, the change since last quarter, and the exact methodology. Show your work or nobody can cite you.
  6. Keep an archive page of every past quarter. The trend line is the second story.
Effort

Moderate to set up, roughly a week. Then about a day per quarter.

Who to pitch

Tiers 1, 2, 3, 6, 7. Movers and storage brands are the natural amplifiers, and they are also your ad prospects.

Watch out: Never quietly change the basket. If you must change it, publish both old and new for one quarter so the series stays honest.

5. Boulder vs. Louisville vs. Longmont vs. Superior vs. Erie

Highest commercial intent Google's own AI Overview already sends people to these towns.

Google's AI Overview for "moving to Boulder colorado" explicitly tells readers that many commuters choose Louisville or Superior to save money. Google is doing the demand generation and nobody owns the answer.

You already have the price spine: Boulder's typical home value was $972,493 in June 2026 against Longmont's $557,628, both from Zillow. That gap is the entire story and it is already sourced on your site.

How to build it
  1. Pull typical home value and asking rent for all five towns from the same Zillow city-level files you already use, so the comparison is apples to apples.
  2. Add measured commute times, not estimates. See campaign 6, which produces exactly this input.
  3. Add the qualitative axes that actually decide it: school district, walkability to a real downtown, open space access, and whether the town has its own identity or is a subdivision.
  4. Build one comparison table plus a short honest verdict per town, including who each town is wrong for.
  5. Refresh the price and commute figures quarterly from the same sources.
Effort

Low to moderate. Most inputs already exist in your data module.

Who to pitch

Tiers 1, 2, 3, 5, 7.

Watch out: Each town has its own local paper and chamber. Pitch them individually. Being named as the definitive comparison by Louisville's own paper is worth more than a Denver mention.

6. Measured Boulder-to-Denver Commute Times, by Hour

Cheapest per link, fully automatable Everyone guesses at this. Nobody measures it.

The Boulder-to-Denver commute is the single most repeated piece of folklore in Front Range relocation, and every published figure is somebody's impression. Measured data replaces an argument with a fact, and facts get cited.

It also feeds campaign 5 directly, so one build serves two assets.

How to build it
  1. Pick fixed endpoints and never move them: Pearl Street to Denver Union Station, plus a Boulder-to-DIA pair.
  2. Sample a routing API every 30 minutes for a full month, both directions, and store the results.
  3. Publish the honest distribution rather than an average: median by hour, the 90th percentile bad day, and the real cost of leaving 30 minutes later.
  4. Add the RTD bus comparison for the same time slots, which nobody ever does.
  5. Re-run for one month each year. School term versus summer is its own story.
Effort

Low. A day to build the collector, then it runs itself.

Who to pitch

Tiers 1, 2, 3, plus transit and planning reporters specifically.

Watch out: Routing APIs cost money at volume and their terms restrict redistribution of raw data. Check the license before publishing anything beyond your own aggregates.

7. A Plain-English Guide to Boulder's Deed-Restricted Homeownership

Hardest links to get, most valuable to hold Civic, confusing, and genuinely under-explained.

Boulder runs a permanently affordable ownership program with income limits and a capped resale price. It is real homes at real discounts with real strings, and it is poorly explained anywhere.

This is the asset most likely to earn .gov, .edu, and nonprofit links, which are the hardest category to obtain and the strongest signal you can hold. Housing reporters also need a link target when they mention the program in passing.

How to build it
  1. Work only from City of Boulder Housing and Human Services published material. Do not paraphrase from a realtor blog.
  2. Explain the four things people actually get wrong: who qualifies, how the resale cap works, what happens when you want to leave, and what you can and cannot do to the property.
  3. Add a worked example with real published numbers so the resale cap becomes concrete.
  4. Include the honest downside. A guide that only sells the upside will not be linked by a housing journalist.
  5. Re-check whenever the city updates its income limits, which is at least annually.
Effort

Moderate. About a week, most of it careful reading.

Who to pitch

Tier 1, Tier 2 housing reporters, the city itself, plus housing nonprofits and Urban Institute style researchers.

Watch out: Program rules change. A stale guide on this topic is worse than none, because someone could make a six-figure decision on it. Date it prominently and re-check on a calendar reminder.

8. The Boulder Rent-vs-Buy Break-Even Calculator

Best long-tail link accumulator Tools get linked far more than articles.

Every input already lives in your data module: typical home value, asking rent, and the current 30-year rate. A calculator turns those into a tool, and tools accumulate links passively for years without further pitching.

Boulder is an unusually good place for this, because the price-to-rent ratio here is extreme enough that the answer genuinely surprises people.

How to build it
  1. Pre-fill every field with your real current Boulder figures so it produces a credible answer before the user touches anything.
  2. Model the things cheap calculators omit: closing costs, Colorado property tax, insurance (which ties to campaign 1), HOA dues, maintenance, and the opportunity cost of the down payment.
  3. Output a break-even year, not a verdict. "You break even in year 7" is citable. "You should buy" is not.
  4. Make it shareable: a permalink that encodes the inputs so people can post their scenario.
  5. No backend, no email gate, no lead capture. A gated tool does not get linked. Yours will not have a working form until the lead policy is decided anyway.
Effort

Moderate. A few days of build, then near-zero maintenance if it reads from the data module.

Who to pitch

Tiers 5, 7, plus Reddit personal-finance communities where calculators spread organically.

Watch out: Label it clearly as an estimate and not financial advice. Show the assumptions on screen, not hidden in a footnote.

The outreach list

121 targets. DA is a live DataForSEO rank, 0 to 100 scale, pulled 2026-07-26.

Tier 1: Boulder and Boulder County

Smallest audience, highest link relevance, and the easiest yes. A Boulder-dateline link is worth more to this site than a national one, because relevance compounds with proximity.

How to actually run the outreach

Sequence, not blast

Pitch in waves, smallest and most relevant first. Tier 1 goes out on day one, exclusively. Give the Daily Camera or Boulder Reporting Lab a genuine 48-hour head start and say so in the email, because an exclusive is the only currency you have that costs you nothing. Tier 2 and 3 go on day three. Trade press on day five. National, if at all, in week two once you can point to existing pickup.

What the email has to do

Three sentences before the fold: what the finding is, why it matters to their readers specifically, and where the data came from. Put the single most surprising number in the subject line. Link straight to the asset with no gate and no signup. Offer the raw data as a spreadsheet, because a reporter who can check your numbers is a reporter who will cite them.

Do not attach anything. Do not use the word "exciting". Do not follow up more than once, and wait a full week before you do.

The part most people skip

Publish the methodology and the underlying data openly, on the same page. Every campaign above lives or dies on this. A journalist under deadline links to the source they can verify in ninety seconds, and skips the one that hides its working.

Where the free amplification is

Reddit and Nextdoor links are nofollow, so they pass no direct authority. Post there anyway. They drive real traffic, they are heavily cited by AI answer engines, and reporters genuinely find stories in r/boulder. Ask moderators before posting and lead with the finding, never the link.

What I would actually do, in order

  1. Insurance tracker. The HB25-1182 window is open right now and it will not stay novel for long.
  2. Commute measurement. Start the collector immediately, because it needs a month of data before it produces anything. Running in the background costs you nothing.
  3. Search-demand study. Cheap, fast, and uniquely yours. Good momentum while the insurance piece is being built.
  4. Newcomer survey. Field it in early autumn, when people who moved over summer are still raw about it.
  5. Town comparison. Publish once the commute data lands, since that is its missing input.
  6. Move-in cost index. Start the quarterly clock so the first repeat lands three months later.
  7. Rent-vs-buy calculator and deed-restriction guide. Both are evergreen and neither has a timing hook, so they fill gaps.

Method and limits. Domain authority figures are DataForSEO bulk rank values on the 0 to 100 scale, pulled 2026-07-26; they correlate with but are not identical to Moz DA or Ahrefs DR, so do not compare them directly against a number from another tool. Contact URLs marked VERIFIED returned HTTP 200 on 2026-07-26 and were not manually read, so confirm the page is still the right destination before pitching. Unmarked routes were not checked at all. HB25-1182's provisions and effective date were read from the enacted bill summary at leg.colorado.gov on 2026-07-26; confirm against the current statute and any Division of Insurance rulemaking before publishing anything that relies on them. The search-volume figures cited in campaign 3 come from a single exploratory DataForSEO pull on 2026-07-26 seeded only on "boulder colorado", and are contaminated with tourism and CU-admissions intent; they demonstrate the data exists, they are not the study. No individual journalist contact details were compiled. Nothing here is a guarantee of coverage or ranking.
