Backlink Check
Requires
The free Ryze MCP connector (https://connector.get-ryze.ai/mcp). Claude Code: claude mcp add ryze --transport http https://connector.get-ryze.ai/mcp. claude.ai / Desktop / Cursor: add it as a custom connector with the same URL. Setup: https://www.get-ryze.ai/how-to-connect-claude-to-google-meta-ads-mcp
Workflow
- Source. Use the workspace's DataForSEO Backlinks tools (
native__get_provider_docs, providerdataforseo, for exact request shapes):summaryfor the profile,referring_domainsfor the domain list,anchorsfor anchor distribution. If DataForSEO backlinks aren't exposed, fall back to a connectedahrefsorsemrushprovider; if neither, stop and say which connection is missing — never fabricate link counts. - Target profile. Pull summary + top ~100 referring domains by rank for the user's domain: total backlinks, referring domains, dofollow share, authority distribution.
- Competitor (if named). Same pulls for the competitor. Compute the link gap: strong domains linking to them but not to the user — that's the outreach list.
- Quality read. Flag: spammy anchor patterns (exact-match commercial anchors at scale), link velocity spikes, a profile dominated by low-authority domains.
- Traffic cross-check (own site only).
google_analytics__runRawReport— referral sessions by source; note which linking domains actually send visitors.
Output
Verdict first (profile strength in one paragraph, and the gap vs the competitor if asked), then: profile summary table, top referring domains, anchor distribution, and — when a competitor was given — the link-gap outreach list (domain, authority, page linking to competitor). All third-party numbers labeled as index estimates.

| 12 | ## Workflow |
| 13 | |
| 14 | **Source.** Use the workspace's DataForSEO Backlinks tools (`native__get_provider_docs`, provider `dataforseo`, for exact request shapes): `summary` for the profile, `referring_domains` for the domain list, `anchors` for anchor distribution. If DataForSEO backlinks aren't exposed, fall back to a connected `ahrefs` or `semrush` provider; if neither, stop and say which connection is missing — never fabricate link counts. |
| 15 | **Target profile.** Pull summary + top ~100 referring domains by rank for the user's domain: total backlinks, referring domains, dofollow share, authority distribution. |
| 16 | **Competitor (if named).** Same pulls for the competitor. Compute the **link gap**: strong domains linking to them but not to the user — that's the outreach list. |
| 17 | **Quality read.** Flag: spammy anchor patterns (exact-match commercial anchors at scale), link velocity spikes, a profile dominated by low-authority domains. |
| 18 | **Traffic cross-check (own site only).** `google_analytics__runRawReport` — referral sessions by source; note which linking domains actually send visitors. |
