# Backlink Audit

## Usage

`/backlink-audit example.com`

## Steps

### 1. MCP connected (preferred — this is the whole point of the skill)
Call `mcp__seobase__semrush_backlinks` with the domain. Report `authorityScore`,
`backlinks`, `referringDomains`, `referringIPs`, `linkPower`, and the top anchors
(`anchors`, already capped to 50 by the tool).

Flag anything that looks like a spam signal: a handful of anchors accounting for a
disproportionate share of total backlinks, or referring-domain count far lower than
raw backlink count (link-farm pattern — many links from few domains).

### 2. Not connected
There's no honest free-tier substitute for a real link index. Say so directly: WebSearch
can surface a handful of visible mentions/citations at best, not a link-graph authority
score. Don't fabricate a number.

### 3. Report

```
Backlink Audit: example.com
Source: live Semrush data | not available without Seobase MCP

Authority score: N/100
Backlinks: N
Referring domains: N
Referring IPs: N
Link power: N

Top anchors:
1. "anchor text" — N backlinks, N domains
...

Flags: [e.g. "referring domains << backlinks — possible link-farm pattern" or "none"]
```
