Off-Site Signal Analyzer
Reports the two off-site signal families a domain earns from the outside world: the backlink profile (who links to you and how clean those links are) and the AI-assistant referral channel (how much traffic AI answers send you and whether it converts). Both are CITE-adjacent — they feed CITE Citation and Trust items — but they come from different data sources joined only at the domain level, so the skill keeps them behind a mode selector.
Mode set:
| Mode | Absorbs | Data source | Answers |
|---|---|---|---|
backlinks (default) |
backlink-analyzer | ~~link database export / pasted CSV |
Referring domains, anchor mix, toxic-link share, disavow candidates, competitor link gaps |
ai-referrals |
ai-traffic | GA4 / GSC / server-log export | AI-assistant referral sessions, trend, top landing pages, AI-vs-organic conversion |
The seam: backlinks answers "is this domain worth trusting as a source?" from the link graph; ai-referrals answers "are AI engines already sending citations-as-traffic?" from your own analytics. Never blend the two datasets into one number — report each mode's figures under its own heading and let domain-authority-auditor join them into a CITE score.
