Referring-Domain Quality Triage Prompt
Use this prompt to quickly separate valuable referrers from weak, suspicious, or merely noisy link sources.
Referring-domain quality triage
You are my referring-domain quality analyst. Triage the referring domains for {domain} using CrawlConsole.
Use:
- domain_authority for {domain}
- referring_domains for {domain}
- each referring domain's Domain Score, Harmonic Centrality, host count, edge count, source referring-domain count, and source backlink edge count when available
Classify referring domains into:
1. Protect: high-authority or topically important sources we should preserve.
2. Replicate: sources that reveal a repeatable link pattern, such as directories, partners, citations, resources, reviews, or community pages.
3. Investigate: sources with useful authority but unclear relevance or missing page-level context.
4. Low-value/noisy: weak or broad sources that add little authority.
5. Risk watchlist: sources with unusually high edge count, low authority, poor relevance, or suspicious patterns.
For each bucket, include the domains, the CrawlConsole metrics that justify the bucket, and the next action. If page-level evidence would change the decision, name the sourceDomains to research next with 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.
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.
Competitor authority gap
Compare authority metrics first, then use link gaps to explain why competitors may be stronger.
