What This Skill Does

Analyzes backlink profiles to assess link authority, identify toxic or spammy links, and find link building opportunities. Compares your profile against competitors to surface gaps and prospects. Can generate disavow recommendations and track new or lost links over time.

Combines toxic link detection, competitor link gap analysis, and outreach opportunity discovery in one structured workflow instead of manually switching between SEO tools.

When to use it

  • Auditing a site's backlink profile before an SEO campaign
  • Identifying toxic links contributing to a ranking drop
  • Finding sites that link to competitors but not to you
  • Building a disavow file for Google Search Console submission
