Industry operations blog, marked reachable
Carries contributed articles from two direct rivals. Route in: contributed article, editorial contact identified.
We map the referring domains behind the sites outranking you, tell you which are reachable, then place on those exact domains.
Priced per campaign, gap map included. No retainer, no minimum term.
The gap map can also be bought on its own for $390, credited in full against a campaign started within 60 days. Only reachable domains are counted toward a campaign. Where the intersect runs dry we say so and refund the balance rather than substituting stock inventory.
The sites ranking for your commercial terms, which are often not the companies your sales team names. We agree the set with you before any analysis runs.
We export every referring domain for your site and theirs, then isolate the ones pointing at them and not at you. Domains linking to two or more competitors rank highest, because a pattern is stronger evidence than a single link.
Each mapped domain is checked for real organic traffic, spam signals, and whether there is any commercial or editorial route in at all. Plenty of links are earned-only. We mark those honestly rather than substituting something easier and calling it a match.
You approve the shortlist, we pitch each domain in the format that fits it, and the report shows the live URL, the anchor, and which competitor that domain was mirrored from.
Specimens of the findings, in the format you receive them: the issue, the evidence behind it, and why it is holding the profile back.

Earned coverage from a funding announcement. No commercial route exists, so it is excluded from the count.
Added alongside the two rivals already cited there, on migration checklist rather than a brand anchor.
Want these findings for your own profile? That is exactly what the audit produces.
Request live samplesEach placement closes a gap you can point at, not a slot from someone's inventory.
The domain already links to a company like yours, so relevance is evidenced before we pitch.
Earned-only domains are marked as such. We would rather lose the order than fake the match.
The gap spreadsheet is a deliverable, not a lead magnet. You keep it whether you buy placements or not.

Most link building starts from what a supplier can sell this month. This starts from what is already working for the sites beating you. When a domain links to three companies in your category, it has demonstrated both that it covers your subject and that it is willing to link out, which is a far stronger signal than any DR threshold.
Rankings are relative. Adding referring domains your competitors do not have shifts your absolute authority; adding the ones they do have closes the specific gap Google is measuring you against on those pages. The second is the shorter route when you are stuck one or two positions off page one.
Some of a competitor's best links are not repeatable. A national feature, an acquisition write-up, a founder's old university page. Marking those as unreachable is the difference between a real mirror campaign and a gap report used as a sales prop for whatever the supplier already had in stock.
Where the content is fine and the gap is authority, mirroring the profile above you is the most direct correction available.
If you cannot explain why a given link was bought, this replaces guesswork with a mapped, evidenced target list.
The tighter the competitive set, the sharper the intersect, and the more of it turns out to be reachable.
A gap map makes the case for spend better than a proposal does, and it is unbranded when you need it to be.
