Backlink lanes: mentions, competitors, directories

Every campaign run discovers prospects through separate lanes, so you can see WHY a site was picked and filter by lane in the review queue. Nothing is ever sent automatically; every email needs your click.

• Authority index: on-topic domains mined from the 10M-domain authority dataset, ranked by real DA.
• Search: link-intent queries (guest posts, resource pages, roundups) via live SERP data.
• Unlinked mention: pages that already name your brand but do not link to you. The agent opens each page and keeps only genuine unlinked mentions, then writes a short reclamation ask instead of a cold pitch. These are your warmest leads.
• Competitor gap: sites that cover your competitors and could cover you too.
• Directory: opt-in submission sites from a curated, DA-ranked list (see the directory guide).

Reading a prospect row

• The score combines domain authority and topical relevance, with a bonus for warm lanes.
• The lane label under the domain shows how the prospect was found; the pills above the list filter by lane.
• Statuses: found, contacted, submitted (directories), replied, won, skipped. The link monitor flips the dot to live when your link appears.
