Backlink Analyzer
Analyzes backlink profiles for quality, risk, competitive gaps, and link-building opportunities.
Quick Start
Analyze backlink profile for [domain]
Find link building opportunities by analyzing [competitor domains]
Skill Contract
Expected output: a backlink report or delta summary plus the standard handoff summary for memory/monitoring/.
memory/open-loops.md and memory/decisions.md.Handoff Summary
> Emit the standard shape from skill-contract.md §Handoff Summary Format.
Data Sources
All integrations optional (see CONNECTORS.md). With tools, pull backlink profiles from ~~link database and competitor data from ~~SEO tool. Without tools, ask for backlink CSVs, referring domains, competitor domains, and link changes. Respect robots.txt and TOS per SECURITY.md.
Instructions
When a user requests backlink analysis:
1. Generate Profile Overview — key metrics, link velocity, authority distribution, and profile health score. 2. Analyze Link Quality — top backlinks, link type mix, anchor text distribution, and geography. 3. Identify Toxic Links — risk indicators, links to review, and disavow recommendations. 4. Compare Against Competitors — profile comparison, link intersection, and top linked competitor content. 5. Find Link Building Opportunities — intersection prospects, broken links, unlinked mentions, resource pages, guest posts, and effort-vs-impact priorities. 6. Track Link Changes — new and lost links, net change, and recovery priorities. 7. Generate Backlink Report — executive summary, strengths, concerns, opportunities, competitive position, recommended actions, and KPIs.
> Reference: See references/analysis-templates.md for the compact output templates used in all seven steps.
CITE Item Mapping
When running domain-authority-auditor after this analysis, the following data feeds directly into CITE scoring:
| Backlink Metric | CITE Item | Dimension | |----------------|-----------|-----------| | Referring domains count | C01 (Referring Domain Volume) | Citation | | Authority distribution (DA breakdown) | C02 (Referring Domains Quality) | Citation | | Link velocity | C04 (Link Velocity) | Citation | | Geographic distribution | C10 (Link Source Diversity) | Citation | | Dofollow/Nofollow ratio | T02 (Dofollow Ratio Normality) | Trust | | Toxic link analysis | T01 (Link Profile Naturalness), T03 (Link-Traffic Coherence) | Trust | | Competitive link intersection | T05 (Profile Uniqueness) | Trust |
Example
Sample outcome: a link-intersection table, top immediate opportunities, and an estimated impact model. Keep the full structure in references/analysis-templates.md.
Tips for Success
Prioritize quality, monitor regularly, diversify anchors and link types, and disavow cautiously.
Link Quality and Strategy Reference

Save Results
Ask "Save these results?" If yes, write memory/monitoring/YYYY-MM-DD- with headline finding, actions, and open loops. If toxic ratio exceeds 15%, recommend domain-authority-auditor.
