What it does

When installed, the agent can look up who links to a website, how strong those linking sites are, what anchor text they use, and which links are new or lost. If you name a competitor, it compares the two and produces a list of strong sites that link to the competitor but not to you, which is a useful outreach target list. It relies on a connected SEO data provider rather than making up numbers, and it can cross-check which linking sites actually send visitors if Google Analytics is connected.

Great for

  • SEO specialists preparing a link-building or outreach plan
  • Marketers who want to see how their backlink profile compares to a competitor
  • Site owners doing a periodic check on link quality and spammy anchor patterns

Skip it if

  • Guaranteed link counts or exact authority scores: the file says third-party numbers are index estimates, so they will not match a provider's raw data exactly
  • Auditing a site you do not control for sensitive decisions without checking the source data, since figures depend on the connected provider

Try asking

  • “Check my backlinks for example.com and summarize the profile”
  • “Who links to competitor.com that doesn't link to my site? Build an outreach list”
  • “Show the anchor text distribution and flag any spammy exact-match anchors”
  • “Which referring domains actually send me traffic according to Google Analytics?”

Get better results

  • Name a competitor domain in your request to get the link-gap outreach list
