Link-Gap Analysis
The links your rivals have - and you don't
Every referring domain that links to your competitors but not to you - collapsed to real linking sites, counted honestly, and broken down by the kind of place each one is.
Their bridges vs yours
rivals covered you today
Four kinds of source carry your rivals; you appear on one and a half of them. The report names the domains behind these bars and what share each kind carries.
The deliverable
What you get
Real domains only
Every referring domain that links to your rivals but not to you - collapsed to real domains, spam and mirrors stripped out.
Ranked by attainability
Each target scored by the barrier it clears - editorial standards, topical fit, the outreach it takes.
Priority tiers
Build-first, build-next, long shots - so outreach starts where it pays back fastest.
Formatted XLSX
The domains, what kind of place each one is, and what was excluded with the reason.
A written read

The brief
The whole brief takes about two minutes
Your site?
The domain the gap is mapped against.
Your market?
What you sell and where - one line is enough.
Where do your links stand today?
Optional. It shows what you already hold, so the gap is counted against the real starting point.
The rivals you watch?
Optional. The analysis maps your market - but sometimes you know your real rivals better than any data. Add the ones you watch.
What are you after?
Select all that apply.
Where does the list go?
You'll get the invoice and the delivery date there first.
Anything else? (optional)
Exports, spreadsheets, screenshots — whatever your data is in. Up to 5 files, 45 MB each; for anything bigger, drop a link in the brief.

Questions
Good to know
What do I need to provide?
Your site. Naming rivals helps - or I identify the ones actually taking your queries.
How is this different from exporting a gap report myself?
Gap tools list every domain they can see. This report collapses that list to real linking sites, throws out what carries nothing and says why, and breaks the rest down by the kind of place it is - so you can see how links are actually earned in your niche, not just how many exist.
What format do I get back?
A formatted XLSX with targets, tiers and scores, plus a written read as PDF.
What if the report is not right?
Cancel before work starts and the prepayment comes back in full. Once work has started, the scope printed on the card is the standard: one revision round is included, and if it still doesn't match that scope, the order is refunded in full. The full wording is on the guarantees page.
