yes. the whole job is three steps: paste a competitor, get their full backlink list as your outreach hit list, email those sites and ask for a link too. you don't need to be an seo expert - you need a competitor and an email account.
it helps you find relevant outreach prospects: sites already linking to competitors in your niche. google uses links alongside many other ranking signals. earning a relevant link can help, but more links do not guarantee higher rankings.
$5/month. each month we email you one 5-minute, high-impact task picked from your actual backlink data. usually outreach to a single domain that's the easiest win we can find. cancel any time from your dashboard.
about 30 minutes a week if you do it yourself. or add the seo fix addon and we email you one 5-minute task a month. that's it.
common crawl publishes the open hyperlink graphs behind our backlink reports. each report reflects an indexed release, not a live crawl of the web.
