Competitive Link Analysis
Overview
Find out which sites link to your competitors but not to you — those are your best outreach targets. These tools compare link profiles, track link growth over time, and help you build a targeted outreach list.
get-backlink-competitors
Returns domains that compete with your target based on shared referring domains. Different from organic competitors — these are sites that earn links from the same sources. Takes a target domain (required) and optional limit (1–1,000).
"Who are elysiumpools.com's backlink competitors?"
get-backlink-domain-intersection
Compares referring domains across 2–20 targets to find domains that link to some targets but not others. The classic "link gap" analysis for outreach.
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
targets | array | Yes | Domains to compare (2–20) |
limit | integer | No | Max results (1–1000) |
order_by | array | No | Sorting rules |
Example
"Find domains that link to riverpoolsandspas.com and anthonysylvan.com but not to elysiumpools.com."
Tips
- Put your domain first, competitors second. The results show referring domains that link to competitors but not you — your outreach target list.
get-backlink-page-intersection
Same concept as domain intersection but at the page level. Compare specific pages to find link gaps for individual pieces of content. Takes targets (array of URLs, 2–20, required) and optional limit (1–1,000) and order_by.
get-backlink-timeseries
Returns backlink and referring domain counts over time for a target. Visualize link growth trends and spot sudden drops or spikes.
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
target | string | Yes | Domain, subdomain, or URL |
date_from | string | No | Start date (YYYY-MM-DD) |
date_to | string | No | End date (YYYY-MM-DD) |
group_range | string | No | day, week, month, or year |
Example
"Show me elysiumpools.com's backlink growth over the past 6 months, grouped by week."

Tracks new and lost backlinks over time. Helps you understand how quickly links are being gained or lost, and spot unusual drops. Same parameters as get-backlink-timeseries above.
get-domain-pages
Lists pages on a domain with their individual backlink and referring domain counts. Find which pages attract the most links.
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |

offset | integer | No | Skip this many results (for paging through large lists) |
order_by | array | No | Sorting rules |
