Where do your competitors get links you can't find?
Local rankings run on local links — the chamber, the county paper, the sponsor pages. This tool intersects your competitors' link profiles and hands you every source that links to them but skipped you.
How it works
Ahrefs' Link Intersect starts at $99/mo. This one's free and tuned for local.
We pull 4 link profiles
Your referring domains plus up to 300 of each competitor's strongest, straight from a live backlinks index — no login, no trial.
Intersect + filter
We keep only sources linking to 2+ competitors and not to you, then strip spam and social noise so every row is a real opportunity.
Ranked outreach list
Authority (.edu/.gov), local news, orgs, and directories — sorted by strength, with the links-to-everyone sources flagged first.
Common questions
What is a referring domain and why does it matter?
A referring domain is a website that links to yours at least once. Search and AI engines treat each new quality domain as an independent vote of trust — and for local businesses, geo-relevant votes (news, chambers, community orgs) punch far above their weight.
Why does a source need to link to two or more competitors?
One competitor link can be an accident — a friend, a one-off mention. Two or more means that source actively links to businesses in your category and market. Those are the pitches that convert.
How do I actually get these links?
Match the ask to the source: submit to directories, join the chamber, offer local news a quote or data point, sponsor the .org. The list tells you who — a short, specific, one-ask email does the rest.
Are directory links still worth it?
Generic spam directories, no. But the directories in this list link to your real competitors — they're citation sources that search and AI engines already trust for your market. Worth 10 minutes each.
The list is free. The outreach is the work.
Locafy builds local links, citations, and press for you — the same sources on your gap list, earned month after month.
