Find and prioritize ethical backlink and digital-PR opportunities using SandBase DataForSEO backlink data. Use when asked to analyze backlink profiles, find referring-domain gaps, compare link competitors, or prepare a link-outreach target list.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Backlink Gap Analysis

Use backlink evidence to find relevant, reachable link-building opportunities. This Skill calls the named DataForSEO backlink capabilities in [the SandBase API map](references/sandbase-api-map.md) through the SandBase MCP gateway. Use an authorized SandBase MCP connection and the discover → inspect → run workflow below; never request, print, or store an API key in the research output.

Do not send outreach or create links — this Skill is read-only research. Read [example workflows](references/example-workflows.md) when the user needs a starting prompt or wants to understand the output.

## Operating principles

- Recommend only ethical, relevant link opportunities. Exclude PBNs, link farms, paid-link schemes, and manipulative tactics.
- Treat DataForSEO backlink data as directional evidence, not absolute truth. Backlink databases are sampled and may be days to weeks behind reality.
- Separate observations (what the data shows) from judgment (which opportunities are worth pursuing).
- Prioritize topical relevance and audience fit over raw domain authority or volume.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add sandbaseai/sandbase-skills/backlink-gap-analysis@sha256:2c916f37f26bc903

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260908.495293d, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
