Ran a backlink gap analysis for my SaaS last week. Found 47 high-authority domains linking to my direct competitors - none to me. These weren't spammy directories either. Real publications, industry blogs, resource pages.
One competitor had 12 links from sites I'd never even heard of. All relevant to our niche. All passing real authority.
The frustrating part? Most of those sites would probably link to us too if we asked. We just didn't know they existed.
I built a tool that compares your backlink profile against up to 5 competitors and lists every domain linking to them but not you. Filter by authority, sort by relevance, export the list. It turned a week of manual research into a 10-minute task.
We've already reached out to 8 sites from that list. 3 responded positively. Sometimes the biggest SEO wins are just visibility into what you're missing. https://serpspur.com
Nice tool pitch, but the real insight here is bigger than the product: most people don't realize how many link opportunities are hiding in plain sight. The 3 positive responses you got from 8 cold emails is actually a solid conversion rateโcurious if you used any specific outreach angle or just a generic template? Curious what your follow-up strategy looks like after that initial response.
Thanks for stopping by! Yeah, that visibility gap is wildโsometimes the biggest wins are just knowing where to look. Have you tried a similar analysis for your own niche, or are you more focused on other channels?
