The Backlink Gap Analyzer compares your backlink profile against up to 2 competitors to show which high-authority sites link to them but not to you — the specific gap worth closing first.
How to Use It
- Enter your domain and up to 2 competitor domains.
- Generate the example report — a table of domains, their authority, and whether they link to your competitors versus you.
- Review which category of sites shows up most often as a gap (directories, review sites, launch platforms, and similar are common patterns).
- Use that pattern to prioritize where to focus real link-building effort.
When to Use It
- Planning a link-building strategy — understanding what TYPE of gap-closing links tend to matter most (directories, reviews, press) helps prioritize where to spend time.
- Benchmarking against competitors — even directionally, seeing the kind of sites that link to competitors but not you is a useful strategic prompt.
- Deciding between DIY and done-for-you — if the gap pattern points heavily toward directories (a very common result), that's a category BacklinkBot addresses directly.
Important: Sample Data, Clearly Labeled
This tool currently shows an example report with illustrative sample data, not a live crawl of your actual backlink profile — this is stated clearly in the tool itself. We're building toward a real, live-data version; in the meantime, this preview demonstrates the kind of insight a gap analysis provides using a realistic, representative pattern (a mix of directories, review sites, and launch platforms are the most common real-world gap categories for early-stage products).
Where to Go Next
Directories, review sites, and launch platforms are exactly what BacklinkBot's done-for-you service submits to by hand — see the full 1,011+ directory database, or check your real, current Domain Rating for free.
