Backlink Gap Audit Report - DataForSEO Backlinks API
Find competitor-only referring domains for backlink outreach and SEO authority gap analysis.
Free-plan limit: Live DataForSEO data requires an Apify paid plan. Free-plan runs return a clear status message and an empty dataset without making live API requests or charging report events. Paid-plan runs retain the input limits described below. Live work stops if report billing cannot be confirmed.
Find referring domains that link to competitors but not to your target domain. Use it for SEO authority audits, link gap research, digital PR prospecting, and agency reporting.
This Actor uses the DataForSEO Backlinks API domain-intersection endpoint and returns a bounded report with gap domains, rank/backlink metrics where available, recommendations, and raw evidence.
Related workflow
Use this after Keyword ROI Scorer and SERP Content Brief Generator to find authority gaps for pages worth building or improving. Pair it with AI SERP Visibility Monitor to track whether authority work correlates with visibility.
