What it does
SEO Backlink Gap is an agent skill from seranking/seo-skills. Find referring domains that link to multiple competitors but not to your site, then enrich with authority, anchor samples, and outreach angle per row. Produces a prospect list an outreach team can start emailing tomorrow. Use when the user asks for backlink gap analysis, link building opportunities, competitor backlink intersection, link prospecting, or wants referring domains they are missing.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Link building. The repository describes itself as: Claude SEO Skills — production Claude Agent Skills for the SE Ranking MCP server. Content briefs, AI Search share of voice, audits, backlink gaps, keyword clusters, schema… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks for backlink gap analysis
- Link building opportunities
- Competitor backlink intersection
- Link prospecting
Example prompts
- “/seo-backlink-gap”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Baseline target backlinks DATA_getBacklinksRefDomains, DATA_getBacklinksSummary
- Per-competitor referring domains DATA_getBacklinksRefDomains
- Intersection
- Enrichment DATA_getBacklinksAuthority, DATA_getBacklinksAnchors
- Relevance scoring
- Produce the prospect list (see Output Format).
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fd6d140. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
SEO Backlink Gap loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 104 tokens; SKILL.md has 391 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Backlink Gap
Produce an actionable link-prospecting list: domains linking to your top competitors but not to you, filtered by authority and relevance, enriched with anchor samples and a suggested outreach angle.
Prerequisites
- SE Ranking MCP server connected.
- Claude's
WebFetchtool available (used for prospect scoring and topical relevance checks). - User provides: (a) target domain, (b) 3 to 5 competitor domains, and optionally (c) minimum Domain Trust (default: 25), (d) dofollow-only filter (default: true), (e) minimum intersection count (default: linked by at least 2 of the N competitors).
Process
Baseline target backlinks
DATA_getBacklinksRefDomains,DATA_getBacklinksSummary- Pull the target domain's existing referring domains to build an exclusion set.
- Save count and summary metrics for the report.
Per-competitor referring domains
DATA_getBacklinksRefDomains- For each competitor, pull referring domains with
dofollow_only=trueandmin_domain_trust={threshold}. - Collect as a dict keyed by referring domain with the list of competitors linking to it.
- For each competitor, pull referring domains with
Intersection
- Retain referring domains that link to at least the minimum number of competitors.
- Exclude any domain already in the target's backlink set.
Enrichment
DATA_getBacklinksAuthority,DATA_getBacklinksAnchors- For each candidate, pull: Domain Trust, Page Trust of the linking page, linking-to-competitor anchor samples (top 3 anchors), and country if available.
- Classify by link type: editorial, resource list, directory, forum/UGC.
Relevance scoring
- Score each candidate on: (a) topical overlap (use domain homepage title/meta via WebFetch), (b) DT, (c) intersection count, (d) link-type preference.
- Suggest an outreach angle per row: local fit, topical fit, competitive parity, resource-list inclusion, broken link, etc.
Produce the prospect list (see Output Format).

# Backlink Gap: {target} vs {competitors}
## Filters applied
- Dofollow only: yes
- Min Domain Trust: {n}
- Min intersection: links to at least {n} of {total} competitors
## Top 25 prospects
| # | Referring domain | DT | Links to | Sample anchor | Link type | Angle | Score |

## Outreach brief
- Segment these prospects into 3 batches by link type and pitch each batch with a tailored template.
- For editorial links: pitch a unique-angle comparison or original research.
- For resource lists: suggest inclusion with a specific anchor.
- For directories: apply directly.
- For forums/UGC: engage before pitching; these are not cold-outreachable.
## Counts
- Total unique referring domains across competitors: {n}
- Passed filters: {n}
- Already linking to {target}: {n} (excluded)
- Final prospects: {n}
## Files
- prospects.csv: import to Hunter.io, Pitchbox, or your outreach tool
- Per-competitor raw data: 02-competitor-*.mdprospects.csv columns:
rank,referring_domain,domain_trust,links_to_count,links_to_competitors,sample_anchor,link_type,outreach_angle,score
Tips
- Data API rate limit: 10 requests per second. With 5 competitors, expect 5-10 seconds of sequential API time plus enrichment.
- Do not include subdomains of already-linked domains in the prospect list. If news.example.com links to the target but blog.example.com links only to competitors, treat as already-linked unless the user asks otherwise.
- The "Angle" column is the most important output for outreach. Keep it specific: "Their 'best X tools' list from 2024 is out of date and doesn't include you" beats "topical fit".
- Exclude obvious spam/low-quality domains even if they pass DT thresholds. Use the WebFetch step to sanity-check any prospect scoring above 80.
- If the target already outranks all competitors for branded terms, prioritise non-branded editorial placements over parity directories.
