## Purpose
Identify the highest-leverage backlink prospects — domains that link to multiple competitors but not to you — and rank them by an opinionated priority score that combines authority, link-overlap signal, downstream traffic, and topical relevance. Produces a numbered output bundle ready for outreach handoff.
## Context efficiency

- Pre-launch link-building plan for a new product or content hub
- Digital PR qualification — separating "would-link-to-anyone" prospects from "high-confidence-will-link-to-our-space"
- Competitive recovery — a competitor displaced you and you want to know which links moved
- Onboarding a new client and need a "first 50 link targets" backlog
**Don't use** when you just need backlink *quantity* numbers (use the brand's connected backlink MCP directly) or when you need *anchor-text* analysis of your own profile (that's a separate audit — covered in `seo-audit`).
