Full competitor link gap
The complete measured list behind the picks in Close the Gap. Every site here links to at least one of your competitors (apexledger.example, meridianfintech.example, stratacapital.example) but not to you.
- "Links to 3 of 3" means the site already covers every competitor you were compared with. Securing one of these closes the most gap per link.
- Close the Gap picked a budget-limited shortlist from this list. Use the full list to go further, choose extra targets yourself, or check a site before buying PR elsewhere.
- 0 of these sites are in our marketplace (marked below). You'd approach the rest directly or through other outreach.

Full keyword gap export
Every keyword your competitors rank for that you don't — with search volume, difficulty and intent.
This fuller measured keyword list expands on the sample in Full Diagnostic Data. Competitor rank is the search position a competitor holds for a term; the free report's Opportunity score instead estimates how worthwhile that term may be to pursue. They answer different questions, not conflicting scores. This export may include additional competitors and keywords.

Coverage points to a small group of vendors. Nova Digital Co. is cited for merchant-side settlement with same-day payouts, though Apex Ledger holds broader editorial coverage across finance outlets.
Meridian Fintech and Strata Capital dominate this conversation. Nova Digital Co. appears in comparison articles but with noticeably fewer independent citations than the category leaders.

AI already cites these outlets — you can buy a placement
These domains appear as sources in real AI answers about you, and they are live inventory in our marketplace. A placement here lands where the models already look.
Executive Summary
A high-level overview of your authority position, key gaps, and the most valuable next actions.
Nova Digital Co. is a credible but under-cited challenger: solid technical SEO and content depth, materially thinner third-party validation than the three competitors benchmarked in this report.
Referring-domain diversity and editorial coverage. Growth is real (+291 domains over 12 months) but concentrated in low-authority sources, so the Authority Index moves slowly.
Editorial citation on the finance and payments outlets that already cover this category. These same domains are the ones AI answer engines cite when summarising the space, so each win compounds across search and AI visibility.
Run a 90-day authority push: one original research asset, three placed editorial features on Tier-1 finance properties, and continuous coverage of the highest-rank domains in the measured link gap.
Your first move
A focused starting point from your recommended authority plan.
No strong measured match yet
The competitor links we found come from outlets that are outside your category, open posting platforms or syndication outlets, so we have not recommended them as placements. We also found no category-matched editorial options for your category and region that meet our quality threshold.

Live backlink and search metrics for novadigital.example benchmarked against apexledger.example. Sourced from third-party SEO index data at report time.
How this report is built (plain English)Where the data comes from · what the scores mean
- 1We pull live data about your site
We query a third-party SEO data index (the same class of data used by tools like Ahrefs or Semrush) for real, measured numbers: how many other websites link to you, how many of those links pass ranking credit, how many keywords you rank for, and your estimated monthly search traffic. Nothing here is guessed.
- 2We pull the same data for your competitor
We run the identical query against the competitor you entered, then compare the two side by side. That comparison is what produces your 'gap' — the publications linking to them that are not linking to you.
- 3We turn those numbers into scores
Your five scores are calculated with a fixed formula from the measured data — not invented by the AI. Same inputs always produce the same scores. Overall Authority is a weighted blend: Backlinks 35%, PR 25%, Search 25%, Content 15%.
- 4AI writes the interpretation, not the numbers
Once the scores are locked, an AI model explains what they mean in context — what's weakest, why it matters, and what to do first. The AI can shape the wording; it cannot change a score.
- 5We match gaps to real, purchasable placements
Every recommended publisher comes from our live marketplace inventory with a real price and turnaround — so a recommendation is always something you can actually act on, not a vague suggestion.
- Referring domains:
- How many separate websites link to you. Ten links from one site count once. This is the single strongest authority signal.
- Do-follow link:
- A link that passes ranking credit to your site. A 'no-follow' link still gets you visibility and brand exposure, but passes no ranking credit.
- Authority index:
- A 0–100 estimate of how trusted your domain looks to search engines, based on the quality of sites linking to you.
- Ranking keywords:
- The number of search terms your site currently appears for in Google's top results.
- Link gap:
- Publications that link to your competitor but not to you — the clearest, most fixable authority difference between you.
Backlinks, referring domains, do-follow share, ranking keywords, estimated traffic, and the competitor link gap. These are pulled live at report time.
Written commentary, priority ordering, content and PR angles. These are AI-generated judgments based on the measured data — useful direction, not guarantees.
Benchmark & Confidence
Peer context, calculation method and confidence behind your score.
