What it does

Analyze a site's backlink profile, anchors, toxic signals, competitors, gaps, and disavow candidates. Use only when links or referring domains are the requested focus.

Backlink Profile Analysis

Source Detection

Before analysis, detect available data sources:

  1. DataForSEO MCP (premium): Check if backlinks_summary tool is available
  2. Moz API (free signup): "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/claude-seo" run backlinks_auth.py --check moz --json
  3. Bing Webmaster (free signup): "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/claude-seo" run backlinks_auth.py --check bing --json
  4. Keywords Everywhere (free signup; domain rank plus referring-domain count): "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/claude-seo" run backlinks_auth.py --check keywordseverywhere --json
  5. Common Crawl (always available): Domain-level graph with PageRank
  6. Verification Crawler (always available): Checks if known backlinks still exist

Run "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/claude-seo" run backlinks_auth.py --check --json to detect all sources at once.

If no sources are configured beyond the always-available tier:

  • Still produce a report using Common Crawl domain metrics
  • Suggest: "Run /seo backlinks setup to add free Moz and Bing API keys for richer data"
