Commerce Sequence

Revenue Expansion Roadmap

This sequence is tuned for collection-page authority, commercial research coverage, and durable links into buying journeys.

Begin with a forensic backlink audit using Ahrefs or SEMrush. Identify toxic links (spam score > 30%) for disavowal and benchmark against top 3 competitors. Document domain authority (DA), referring domains, and anchor text distribution.

Export full backlink profile (CSV)

Tag links by type (blog, directory, forum, etc.)

Calculate link velocity (new links/month)

Identify broken backlinks (404 errors)

Competitor Gap Analysis

Use Moz’s Link Intersect tool to find domains linking to 2+ competitors but not you. Prioritize these for outreach—high relevance, low-hanging fruit.
