Competitor Backlink Profiling

For each competitor in client config, discover their link sources:

# Find pages linking to competitor
firecrawl search "link:{competitor-domain}" --limit 50 -o .seo/clients/{slug}/backlinks/.firecrawl/links-{comp}.json --json &

# Find brand mentions (potential link sources)
firecrawl search "\"{competitor-name}\" -{competitor-domain}" --limit 30 -o .seo/clients/{slug}/backlinks/.firecrawl/mentions-{comp}.json --json &

# Find guest posts by competitor
firecrawl search "\"{competitor-name}\" guest post OR contributed by OR written by" --limit 20 -o .seo/clients/{slug}/backlinks/.firecrawl/guest-{comp}.json --json &

wait

For each discovered link source, analyze:

• Source domain and page
• Link context: editorial mention, directory listing, guest post, resource page, forum, comment
• Anchor text used
• Follow vs nofollow
• Topical relevance to client's industry
• Domain signals: established site vs thin/spammy

Link Opportunity Scoring

Score each prospect on a 0-100 scale across 4 dimensions:

Priority tiers:

• Tier 1 (75-100): Pursue immediately — high relevance + achievable
• Tier 2 (50-74): Include in outreach plan — good potential
• Tier 3 (25-49): Secondary targets — nice to have
• Tier 4 (0-24): Skip — low value or unachievable

Outreach Email Templates

Guest Post Pitch:

Subject: Content idea for {site_name}: {topic}

Hi {editor_name},

I noticed {site_name} covers {topic area} and thought your readers might enjoy an article on {specific topic idea}.

I'm {author_name}, {brief credential}. I'd cover:
- {Point 1}
- {Point 2}
- {Point 3}

I'll make sure the piece is original, well-researched, and a great fit for your audience. Would this be of interest?

{name}
{title}, {company}

Unlinked Mention:

Subject: Thanks for mentioning {brand}!

Hi {name},

I noticed you mentioned {brand} in your article "{article title}" — thank you!

Would you mind adding a quick link to {url} where you reference us? It helps our readers find us and would be a nice complement to your article.

Thanks!
{name}

Broken Link:

Subject: Broken link on {page title}

Hi {name},

I was reading your helpful resource page "{page title}" and noticed the link to {broken resource} appears to be broken (returns a 404).

We have a similar resource at {client url} that covers the same topic. Would you consider updating the link?

{name}

Toxic Backlink Identification

Search for links that could harm the client:

firecrawl search "link:{client-domain}" --limit 100 -o .seo/clients/{slug}/backlinks/.firecrawl/all-links.json --json

Toxic link patterns to flag:

• PBN characteristics: thin content, generic design, excessive outbound links, exact-match anchor domains
• Spammy directories: low-quality directories with no editorial standards
• Irrelevant foreign-language sites linking with keyword anchor text
• Comment spam: links from blog comments or forums
• Link farms: sites that exist solely to sell/exchange links
• Excessive exact-match anchors: unnatural anchor text profile

Disavow File Format

# Toxic backlinks identified on {date}
# Client: {client_name}
# Domain: {client_domain}

# Individual URLs
https://spammy-site.com/page-with-link
https://another-spam.com/article

# Entire domains
domain:spam-domain.com
domain:link-farm.net

Unlinked Mention Discovery

Find brand mentions without links:

# Search for brand mentions excluding own site
firecrawl search "\"{brand_name}\" -{client-domain}" --limit 50 -o .seo/clients/{slug}/backlinks/.firecrawl/brand-mentions.json --json

# Also search for common misspellings or variations
firecrawl search "\"{brand_variation}\" -{client-domain}" --limit 20 -o .seo/clients/{slug}/backlinks/.firecrawl/brand-variations.json --json

For each mention, scrape the page to verify:

1. The mention exists and is relevant
2. No link to client domain already exists
3. The context is positive or neutral (not a complaint)
4. The site is worth pursuing (not spammy)
