What it does

This workflow finds places on the web that mention your brand by name but do not link to your site, then triages them into a clean backlink-opportunity pipeline. Every row that lands in Airtable is already de-duplicated, confirmed link-free, and ranked by how much a backlink from that domain would actually be worth.

When to use it

Run it on a daily schedule when you want a steady, low-noise feed of earned-link prospects without manually combing search results. It is for SEO and PR operators who care about link equity, not raw mention volume.

How it works

  1. 1A daily schedule fires the run.
  2. 2Exa searches recent web content for your brand name and product terms.
  3. 3Firecrawl scrapes each candidate page and checks the rendered HTML for any anchor pointing to your domain.
  4. 4A logic step drops pages that already link out and de-dupes against URLs seen before.
  5. 5An authority filter keeps only domains above your minimum authority and relevance threshold.
  6. 6Qualified opportunities are written to an Airtable base with domain, mention snippet, and a computed priority score.
