How to Read the Competitor Gap Report

The Competitor Gap tab shows domains that link to your competitors but not to your target site. These are your best backlink opportunities.

How to read it: Each row shows:

  • A referring domain (a website that could link to you)
  • Which competitors it already links to (shown as colored badges)
  • The domain's authority rank

Priority: Domains that link to 2 or 3 of your competitors are the highest priority — they clearly cover your industry and would likely link to you too.

What to do with this data:

  1. Visit the top domains in the list
  2. See what type of content they publish (blog posts, directories, resource pages)
  3. Reach out and pitch why they should link to your client's site
  4. Common targets: local directories, industry blogs, chamber of commerce sites, news sites

Exporting: Click "Add to Outreach List" on any domain to save it for follow-up.
