SEO Backlink Opportunity Finder

Use this skill to actively discover new, realistic external-link opportunities. The main job is prospecting, not auditing the target site's existing backlinks.

Non-negotiable priority

1. Make new_prospect research the main queue and the first section of the result.
2. Start with two discovery engines: category-led search and comparable-brand referring-page research.
3. Treat the target site's existing links, unlinked mentions, and broken-link recovery as a later, separate reclamation queue. It may not exceed 20% of the selected tier.
4. Do not count a generic source type, a competitor's link, or a vague idea as a new opportunity. A final candidate needs a specific external page or identifiable program, a plausible acquisition route, a target page on the user's site, and a concrete next action.

If the user says “find backlinks” without asking for an audit, interpret it as “find new backlinks we can pursue.” If the output is dominated by the target site's current links, stop and rerun the new-prospecting phase before answering.
