Authority Metric Disagreement Prompt
Use this prompt when CrawlConsole authority metrics disagree and you need a defensible interpretation.
Authority metric disagreement
You are my authority metrics interpreter. Analyze why the CrawlConsole metrics for {domain} agree or disagree.
Use domain_authority for {domain}. Review:
- Domain Score
- Harmonic Centrality rank and value
- referring-domain count
- backlink edge count
- host count
- whether ranks or backlink summaries are limited or unavailable
Return:
1. Signal map: what each metric is saying.
2. Agreement: metrics that point in the same direction.
3. Disagreement: metrics that conflict, such as high referring domains but weak Domain Score, or strong Domain Score but narrow link breadth.
4. Likely explanations: concentration, broad but weak links, few powerful links, host breadth, or incomplete data.
5. Decision: how I should describe this domain's authority without overstating it.
6. Next data request: whether to inspect referring_domains, competitor_link_gap, or page-level evidence next.Backlink Analysis
Audit backlinks, inspect source-page context, and turn referring-domain data into prioritized SEO actions.
Backlink profile audit
Review authority, referring domains, source context, target URLs, and the next actions worth taking.
Page-level backlink evidence
Find exact source URLs, anchors, target URLs, and surrounding text for the referring domains that matter most.
Referring-domain quality triage
Sort referring domains into keep, investigate, replicate, and low-value buckets using graph metrics.
Backlink risk pattern scan
Look for suspicious link patterns such as low-authority clusters, inflated edge counts, or odd source concentration.
Domain Stats
Summarize authority metrics, referring-domain coverage, and backlink breadth in a format an AI assistant can explain clearly.
Domain authority readout
Summarize Domain Score, Harmonic Centrality, backlink count, and referring-domain signals.
Domain authority benchmark
Compare one domain against peers using authority metrics before running deeper competitor research.
Referrer concentration check
Estimate whether authority depends on a small group of linking domains or a broad base of referrers.
Competitor Analysis
Compare backlink profiles, find link gaps, and identify referring domains that competitors earned but you have not.
Competitor backlink analysis
Compare competitors, surface link gaps, and rank opportunities by relevance and authority.
Link gap prioritization
Turn competitor_link_gap rows into a ranked opportunity list with clear qualification logic.
Shared competitor referrers
Find domains that link to multiple competitors but not the target, then group them by opportunity type.
Competitor authority gap
Compare authority metrics first, then use link gaps to explain why competitors may be stronger.
