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.

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?"

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.

"Find domains that link to riverpoolsandspas.com and anthonysylvan.com but not to elysiumpools.com."
  • Put your domain first, competitors second. The results show referring domains that link to competitors but not you — your outreach target list.

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.

Returns backlink and referring domain counts over time for a target. Visualize link growth trends and spot sudden drops or spikes.

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
targetstringYesDomain, subdomain, or URL
date_fromstringNoStart date (YYYY-MM-DD)
date_tostringNoEnd date (YYYY-MM-DD)
group_rangestringNoday, week, month, or year
"Show me elysiumpools.com's backlink growth over the past 6 months, grouped by week."
