What problem does it solve? Manually auditing a domain's backlink profile across SEO tools is slow and error-prone, and AI-written SEO reports often read as hedged data dumps. This Skill produces a conclusion-first, evidence-backed backlink audit report that a senior SEO practitioner would sign off on, covering link growth and loss, authority distribution, toxic link risk scoring, anchor analysis, and optional competitor link-gap analysis. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Multi-source data collection: Pulls backlink data via MCP, API, or uploaded CSV/XLSX exports from Ahrefs, Semrush, DataForSEO, or Similarweb, mapping each source to a canonical dataset spec. - Risk and quality analysis: Scores referring domains into LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH risk bands, classifies anchor text, detects link-selling patterns, and reports the last 3 months of link growth and loss. - Optional competitor analysis: On user opt-in, benchmarks against exactly 2 competitors and computes link-gap opportunities, with sections omitted and renumbered when declined to conserve API credits. - Use Case: Ask for a backlink audit of your domain, connect Ahrefs via MCP, and receive a fixed-format report with an executive summary under 150 words, plus an xlsx workbook, toxic-link triage CSV, disavow review candidates, and chart PNGs. ## Quick Start Audit the backlink profile for example.com using my connected Ahrefs account and include the competitor sections.
