Find Sites That Already Link to Sites Like Yours

A site that links to two or three of your competitors has already shown it's willing to link to businesses like yours. That makes it a far better outreach target than a cold list of sites in your industry. Finding those sites means comparing long lists of domains, which is slow by hand.

This tool does the comparison for you. You bring the lists: your own linking sites from Google Search Console, and competitor lists from whichever backlink tool you already use. Paste them in any format and the tool pulls out the domains, compares them, and ranks the gap.
