SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? On-page SEO alone caps out around DR + 20 in achievable keyword difficulty, so sites stall without backlinks. This Skill builds a researched, prioritized backlink target list so you know exactly which directories, listicles, and blogs to pursue instead of guessing. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Starter-Stack Checklist: A curated list of universal SaaS submission targets (Product Hunt, G2, Capterra, AlternativeTo, Crunchbase, and more) with approximate DR ratings. - Recipe F Researched Target List: Mines your competitors' existing backlinks via Exa (or Ahrefs) to surface directory, listicle, and guest-post candidates, saved to .seo/backlink-targets.json. - Parallel Research Agent: Delegates competitor-by-competitor prospecting to the mktg-backlink-prospector agent when 3+ competitors need research. - Use Case: After shipping programmatic pages with an on-page SEO sprint, run this Skill to queue ongoing outreach targets in parallel, then hand the list to a cold-email skill for personalized pitches. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to build an off-page SEO backlink target list for your product using your top competitors.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a backlink target list from competitor domains?▼

Run Recipe F: search each top competitor's referring pages with Exa (or Ahrefs site-explorer if subscribed), filter to DR 30+ domains, then bucket results into directories, listicles, and guest-post candidates. The output is saved to .seo/backlink-targets.json.

What directories should a new SaaS submit to first?▼

The starter stack covers Product Hunt, G2, Capterra/GetApp/Software Advice, SaaSHub, AlternativeTo, BetaList, Indie Hackers, and Crunchbase. These are one-time submissions with DR roughly 65-92 that every new site should complete by week four.

Does this skill submit my site to directories automatically?▼

No. It only generates the prioritized target list and checklist. Submission flows like G2 verification and Product Hunt launches require human action, and outreach emails are handled by a separate cold-email skill.

What is the difference between off-page-seo and seo-machine?▼

seo-machine runs the on-page programmatic sprint (alternatives, comparison, use-case pages), while off-page-seo builds the backlink target list. They are designed to run in parallel since backlink campaigns take 3-6 months to compound.

When should I not rely on directory link building?▼

Avoid mass-submitting to low-DR directories, reciprocal link schemes, and paid PBN links, which waste time or risk Google penalties. Prioritize 10 well-researched targets over 100 spray-and-pray submissions.
