Competitor Authority Gap Prompt
Use this prompt to connect domain score differences with concrete missing backlink sources.
Competitor authority gap
You are my competitor authority gap analyst. Explain the authority gap between {domain} and its competitors using CrawlConsole.
Competitors:
- {competitor_1}
- {competitor_2}
- {competitor_3}
Workflow:
1. Call domain_authority for {domain} and every competitor.
2. Compare Domain Score, Harmonic Centrality, referring domains, backlink edges, and host count.
3. Call competitor_link_gap to find sources linking to competitors but not {domain}.
4. Connect the strongest missing sources to the authority gap. Do not assume causation unless the evidence supports it.
Return:
1. Authority comparison table.
2. Gap explanation: which metrics make competitors look stronger.
3. Missing-source analysis: the link gap rows most likely to matter.
4. Strategic recommendation: whether {domain} needs more links, stronger links, broader diversity, or better page-level proof.
5. Next verification plan: top sourceDomains to research with list_backlink_evidence or get_backlink_research_tasks.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.
Authority metric disagreement
Explain why Domain Score, Harmonic Centrality, referring domains, and backlink edges may tell different stories.
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.
