Authority Benchmarking Tool

Act as a domain authority and topical authority analyst.

My domain: "[MY_DOMAIN]"
Competitor domains: "[COMPETITORS]"
Target niche: "[TARGET_NICHE]"

Benchmark across:

1. Domain Strength Indicators — Compare link profiles, referring domains, and domain age/history
2. Topical Authority Score — How thoroughly does each domain cover the target niche vs. competitors?
3. Content Depth Comparison — Average content depth and comprehensiveness across top pages
4. Backlink Quality Analysis — Link quality distribution (editorial / directory / UGC)
5. Brand Search Volume — Relative brand recognition based on estimated branded search
6. Authority Gap — Where am I behind, by how much, and how realistic is it to close that gap?

Produce a benchmarking scorecard with a gap-closing roadmap prioritized by highest ROI.
