What problem does it solve?
Link-building teams waste hours manually comparing backlink exports across competitors to find prospects, with no consistent way to rank which domains are worth pitching first.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Gap Analysis Engine: Runs scripts/backlink_gap.py against your backlink CSV and 2-5 competitor CSVs to surface referring domains that link to competitors but not to you.
- Priority Scoring & Quality Gates: Ranks prospects with a weighted score (0.40 DR + 0.25 link-overlap + 0.20 traffic + 0.15 topical relevance) and validates inputs through a four-gate scorecard covering data freshness, sample size, competitor coverage, and link-overlap signal.
- Outreach-Ready Outputs: Produces a 30-prospect shortlist, broken-link replacement candidates, and three pre-filled outreach templates in the brand's voice.
- Use Case: During a quarterly audit, export backlinks from Ahrefs for your domain and three competitors, then run the skill to get a ranked backlog of link targets and hand the shortlist to your digital PR workflow.
Quick Start
Run /digital-marketing-pro:backlink-gap for my brand using backlink CSV exports from my domain and three competitors to generate a ranked outreach prospect list.
