Build Backlinks and Find Link Opportunities: Ahrefs Backlink Tools
Building backlinks is hard. This bundle makes it easier by showing you exactly where the opportunities are.
The Backlink Opportunities MCP server bundle gives you 7 MCP tools that help you find broken link opportunities, analyze where competitors get their backlinks, discover referring domains for outreach, and track your backlink growth over time. It's your link building toolkit.
What This Bundle Does
When you're building backlinks, you need answers to a few questions. Where are competitors getting their links? Are there broken links you can reclaim? Which sites should you target for outreach? How's your backlink profile growing?
The Backlink Opportunities bundle answers all of these. It's built for the actual work of link building, not just having backlink data.
Finding Broken Links That You Can Actually Use
Here's a link building trick that actually works: find broken backlinks pointing to competitors, then reach out to those sites with your content as a replacement. The Backlink Opportunities bundle makes this easy.
The MCP tools find all broken links pointing to competitors. You'll see which pages had broken links and which sites were linking to them. Those sites are your outreach targets—they already linked to similar content, so they might link to yours.
Then see the referring domains. Filter by those linking to broken pages and you've got a targeted outreach list. These sites were already interested in the topic, so your replacement content has a good chance.
Check link quality statistics, and see what content attracts links. This tells you what kind of content gets linked, which helps you create linkable assets.
How it works in practice: find broken backlinks for a competitor, see which pages had broken links, identify the referring domains that linked to those pages, check the anchor text to understand link context, then reach out to those domains with replacement content.
Ask "Find broken backlink opportunities for competitor.com" and the AI finds all broken backlinks, identifies referring domains that were linking to those pages, gives you a targeted outreach list.
Seeing Where Competitors Get Their Links
Want to know where competitors get their backlinks? The Backlink Opportunities bundle shows you everything.
The MCP tools show every backlink pointing to competitors with full details. You'll see the URL that's linking, the URL being linked to, domain ratings, anchor text, and link types. Filter by domain rating to find high-quality links—those are the sites worth targeting.
See referring domains and their domain ratings. This is your outreach list. Find domains with high domain ratings (DR 40+) and you've got quality targets.
Analyze anchor text distribution. This helps you understand link context and ensures your anchor text looks natural. Over-optimized anchor text is a red flag, so seeing natural patterns helps.
Get summary statistics on backlink profile quality. Total backlinks, referring domains, domain rating—the big picture metrics that tell you if a competitor's backlink profile is strong.
Workflow: analyze a competitor's backlinks, see all backlinks with referring domains, filter by domain rating to find high-quality links, check anchor text to understand link context, then identify outreach targets from high-DR domains.
How it works: just ask about a competitor and the AI shows you all their backlinks, filters by domain rating to find high-quality links, then shows which domains are linking most frequently.
Building Your Outreach List
The hardest part of link building is knowing who to reach out to. The Backlink Opportunities bundle solves that.
The MCP tools show all referring domains with domain ratings and backlink counts. Filter by domain rating (DR > 40) and you've got quality targets. See which pages they link to and check anchor text context to understand what they're interested in.
Track referring domain growth over time. This helps you measure your link building ROI. See which months had the most growth and correlate with your outreach campaigns.
Find pages that attract the most external links. This is gold for content ideas. If a page has 500 external links, that's the kind of content you should be creating.
Workflow: find referring domains for a competitor, filter by domain rating (DR > 40), see which pages they link to, check anchor text context, then build an outreach list with personalized pitches based on what they've linked to before.
Ask about a competitor and the AI finds high-quality referring domains, then shows what content they link to.
Tracking Your Backlink Growth
You can't improve what you don't measure. The Backlink Opportunities bundle helps you track your backlink profile growth.
Track referring domain growth over time. See growth trends—are you gaining or losing domains? Identify which months had the most growth and correlate with your link building campaigns. Adjust your strategy based on results.
Get current backlink statistics. Total backlinks, referring domains, domain rating—the metrics that matter.
See new backlinks as they're discovered. Keep an eye on this to see which outreach campaigns are working.
How to track growth: just ask for your backlink growth over a period and the AI shows you referring domain growth month by month. Compare to your link building activities to measure ROI.
