Use backlink-page-gap-dataforseo to compare one site the user wants to review with two comparison sites. Accept three clear website links, in that order. Parse each URL with a URL parser, read its hostname, remove the scheme, path, query and fragment, and remove only a leading www. prefix; preserve other subdomains. If a link is missing, ambiguous or duplicates another site, ask the user in plain language which website to use; do not ask them to rewrite links as bare domains. Map the first website to ownDomain, the second to competitorA and the third to competitorB. Reuse the existing Toolmu connection, execution authorization and agreed budget; if setup is needed, follow https://toolmu.com/SKILL.md. Compare up to 20 returned page groups. Map target 1 to competitorA and target 2 to competitorB, and identify each record’s source and destination URL. Do not assume every group links to both comparison sites; inspect the actual links and source URLs. Explain own-domain exclusion as supplier-index based, not proof that a current page has no link to the user’s site. Report available anchors, separate backlink/page/domain scores and recorded UTC dates, preserving null, zero and false. Distinguish delivered group count from individual link records and the reported total. Explain index age and coverage limits without claiming current reachability or guaranteed link acquisition.

Task:
Compare [your website link], [similar website link 1], and [similar website link 2]. Find up to 20 pages that link to either similar site but have no record of a link to yours. Say which site each page links to. The list may be incomplete; unlisted pages may still link to yours today.

Compare competitor backlink source pages

Provide your domain and two competitor domains. Your Agent compares returned referring-page groups and each competitor's link records, applying your domain as an exclusion in the supplier's index.

You receive

Get up to 20 referring-page comparison groups for two competitor websites, with your domain used as an exclusion in the supplier's index. Per-target records let you inspect source and destination URLs, reported anchor text, separate link/page/domain scores and recorded crawler observations. Use the actual records to decide which sources warrant closer review.

Start with your task

Compare [your website link], [similar website link 1], and [similar website link 2]. Find up to 20 pages that link to either similar site but have no record of a link to yours. Say which site each page links to. The list may be incomplete; unlisted pages may still link to yours today.

What to know

Check each competitor's records before treating a page as a shared source; every group is not guaranteed to link to both. Indexed exclusion does not prove that your link is absent from the current page. Results may be older or incomplete, with no guarantee of 20 distinct pages or a particular order. The Tool exposes no sorting or next-page input.

Result schema

No fixed output contract is available. Field types reflect saved result evidence; individual responses can differ.

Result schema
Field / Path	Type	Meaning
Page comparison result`linkGapPages`	`object`	The supplier result containing competitor targets, returned page groups and their backlink records. Use the per-target details to compare referring pages.
Competitor target mapping`linkGapPages.targets`	`object`	Returned target 1 corresponds to competitorA and target 2 to competitorB. ownDomain is used as an exclusion, rather than a third target in this mapping.
Returned page groups`linkGapPages.items`	`array`	Up to 20 returned referring-page comparison groups. Inspect their actual competitor records and source URLs; do not assume every group links to both competitors or that all groups are distinct pages.
Delivered group count`linkGapPages.items_count`	`number`	Number of page groups delivered in this result. It is separate from the number of individual backlink records within those groups.
Supplier-reported relevant total`linkGapPages.total_count`	`number`	The supplier's reported total of relevant results for the request. It does not mean the full list was delivered or establish complete current web coverage.
Backlink records by competitor`linkGapPages.items[].page_intersection`	`object`	A map of per-target record arrays: 1 for competitorA and 2 for competitorB. Check each source URL and destination before calling a page a shared source. A record's links_count counts identical backlinks on that source page, not all outgoing links.
Competitor A link records`linkGapPages.items[].page_intersection.1`	`array`	Backlink details for competitorA in this group. Records may include anchor context, link type, follow attributes and recorded redirects in addition to URLs and scores. Snippets are not full page content.
Competitor B link records`linkGapPages.items[].page_intersection.2`	`array`	Backlink details for competitorB in this group. Records may include anchor context, link type, follow attributes and recorded redirects in addition to URLs and scores. Snippets are not full page content.
Source page URL`linkGapPages.items[].page_intersection.1[].url_from`	`string`	Recorded URL of the page where the backlink was found. Compare this URL across target arrays to identify the actual source page.
Link destination URL`linkGapPages.items[].page_intersection.1[].url_to`	`string`	Recorded URL the backlink points to. Read it separately from the source URL and any reported redirect target.
Reported anchor text`linkGapPages.items[].page_intersection.1[].anchor`	`string \| null`	Anchor text when reported. A null value is not evidence that the backlink is absent or that the link is necessarily an image.
Backlink rank`linkGapPages.items[].page_intersection.1[].rank`	`number`	Supplier link-graph score for this backlink, using the default 0–1000 scale. It is separate from source-page and source-domain scores and is not a Google search position.
Source-page rank`linkGapPages.items[].page_intersection.1[].page_from_rank`	`number`	Supplier link-graph score for the referring page, using the default 0–1000 scale. It is not an observed traffic count or a content-quality guarantee.
Source-domain rank`linkGapPages.items[].page_intersection.1[].domain_from_rank`	`number`	Supplier link-graph score for the referring domain when its crawler last observed the backlink, using the default 0–1000 scale.
Backlink spam score`linkGapPages.items[].page_intersection.1[].backlink_spam_score`	`number`	Supplier spam score for the backlink. Its subject differs from the destination-page score; zero does not establish that the link is safe.
Destination-page spam score`linkGapPages.items[].page_intersection.1[].url_to_spam_score`	`number`	Supplier spam score for the linked page. Null means the supplier crawler has not visited the destination; keep it distinct from a zero score.
First recorded discovery · UTC`linkGapPages.items[].page_intersection.1[].first_seen`	`string`	UTC time when the supplier first discovered the backlink. It is not the link's creation date or the time this Tool was called.
Latest recorded visit · UTC`linkGapPages.items[].page_intersection.1[].last_seen`	`string`	UTC time of the supplier's latest recorded backlink visit. It describes an index observation rather than a guaranteed current page check.
Recorded destination HTTP status`linkGapPages.items[].page_intersection.1[].url_to_status_code`	`number`	Destination HTTP response recorded by the supplier. Null means the crawler has not visited that destination; it is not zero or a broken-link verdict.
Source page URL`linkGapPages.items[].page_intersection.2[].url_from`	`string`	Recorded URL of the page where the backlink was found. Compare this URL across target arrays to identify the actual source page.
Link destination URL`linkGapPages.items[].page_intersection.2[].url_to`	`string`	Recorded URL the backlink points to. Read it separately from the source URL and any reported redirect target.
Reported anchor text`linkGapPages.items[].page_intersection.2[].anchor`	`string \| null`	Anchor text when reported. A null value is not evidence that the backlink is absent or that the link is necessarily an image.
Backlink rank`linkGapPages.items[].page_intersection.2[].rank`	`number`	Supplier link-graph score for this backlink, using the default 0–1000 scale. It is separate from source-page and source-domain scores and is not a Google search position.
Source-page rank`linkGapPages.items[].page_intersection.2[].page_from_rank`	`number`	Supplier link-graph score for the referring page, using the default 0–1000 scale. It is not an observed traffic count or a content-quality guarantee.
Source-domain rank`linkGapPages.items[].page_intersection.2[].domain_from_rank`	`number`	Supplier link-graph score for the referring domain when its crawler last observed the backlink, using the default 0–1000 scale.
Backlink spam score`linkGapPages.items[].page_intersection.2[].backlink_spam_score`	`number`	Supplier spam score for the backlink. Its subject differs from the destination-page score; zero does not establish that the link is safe.
Destination-page spam score`linkGapPages.items[].page_intersection.2[].url_to_spam_score`	`number \| null`	Supplier spam score for the linked page. Null means the supplier crawler has not visited the destination; keep it distinct from a zero score.
First recorded discovery · UTC`linkGapPages.items[].page_intersection.2[].first_seen`	`string`	UTC time when the supplier first discovered the backlink. It is not the link's creation date or the time this Tool was called.
Latest recorded visit · UTC`linkGapPages.items[].page_intersection.2[].last_seen`	`string`	UTC time of the supplier's latest recorded backlink visit. It describes an index observation rather than a guaranteed current page check.
Recorded destination HTTP status`linkGapPages.items[].page_intersection.2[].url_to_status_code`	`number \| null`	Destination HTTP response recorded by the supplier. Null means the crawler has not visited that destination; it is not zero or a broken-link verdict.
