Workflow: Backlink Profile Audit
Intent: Generate a compact decision memo on backlink strengths, risks, and immediate next actions.

Audit the backlink profile for {{domain}}.

Run these tool calls with limit={{limit|100}}:
1) get_backlinks
2) get_referring_domains
3) get_anchor_text
4) get_domain_authority

Return a JSON report with:
- executive_summary (3 bullets)
- strength_signals (array)
- risk_signals (array)
- anchor_pattern_notes (array)
- top_5_actions (array with impact + effort)

Prefer action-oriented conclusions over metric repetition.

Important:
- Use the listed RankParse tools for data retrieval.
- Return strict JSON only (no markdown).
Use REST instead

REST fallback (cURL)

Use this only if MCP is unavailable in your runtime.
