Backlink Check

An SEO skill that pulls a domain's backlink profile and computes the link gap versus a competitor into a ready-to-use outreach list.

Marketing & SEOIntermediate★ 4,766⑂ 366AI score 8/10Last updated: Sep 24, 2026

What it does

  • Builds a backlink profile: total backlinks, referring domains, dofollow share, authority distribution.
  • Lists the top ~100 referring domains and the anchor text distribution.
  • With a competitor named, computes the link gap — strong domains linking to them but not to you — as an outreach list.
  • Flags quality risks: exact-match commercial anchors at scale, link velocity spikes, low-authority-heavy profiles.
  • For your own site, cross-checks Google Analytics referral sessions to see which links actually drive visits.
  • Refuses to invent numbers: if a data provider isn't connected, it says which connection is missing.

Who it's for

  • SEO specialists, growth marketers, and link-building teams
  • Agencies and in-house teams reporting competitive link gaps
  • Anyone already running DataForSEO / Ahrefs / Semrush through MCP

Examples

  1. "Check my backlinks" → profile summary table, top referring domains, anchor breakdown.
  2. "Link gap vs competitor.com" → prioritized list of high-authority domains linking only to the competitor.
  3. "Who links to them?" → referring domain list ranked by authority.
