We recently published a comprehensive guide on [your content topic] at [your URL] that I think would be a valuable addition for your readers. It covers [brief description of what makes it valuable].

Hi [Name],
I noticed you mentioned [Your Brand/Site] in your article at [URL]. Thanks for the reference — we appreciate the recognition.
