FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a Backlink Gap?

A backlink gap refers to authoritative websites that link to your competitors but do not link to you. These sites are the best targets for outreach.

Why use a local tool for backlink analysis?

It's 100% private and bypasses expensive API limits. You can audit as many competitors as you want locally in your browser.

What should I pitch to these sites?

Look at the content they linked to on your competitor's site. Offer them something even better—a more comprehensive guide or a useful free tool.

How do I get my competitor's link list?

You can use free tools like Ahrefs Backlink Checker or Moz Link Explorer to get a list of referring domains for any URL.

Which gaps are the most valuable?

Focus on .edu, .gov, and high-authority industry blogs. These provide the strongest 'authority transfer' to your site.

How often should I run a gap analysis?

We recommend a monthly audit to stay updated on new link sources your competitors are securing.

Does this tool store my domain data?

No. All processing is done locally in your browser. Your link lists never leave your device.

How many competitors can I compare?

You can compare against as many competitors as you like, one by one, to build a comprehensive outreach master list.

What is 'Link Equity'?

Link equity (or link juice) is the SEO value passed from one site to another through a hyperlink. High-equity links are the key to ranking for hard terms.

How do I start an outreach campaign?

Once you identify a high-priority gap, find the editor's contact info and send a personalized email explaining the value of your content.

Is this tool suitable for new websites?

Yes! New sites can use gap analysis to quickly find the 'table stakes' links needed to establish a basic presence in their niche.

What is a referring domain?

A referring domain is an external website that has one or more backlinks pointing to your site. High variety in referring domains is better for SEO.
