Competitive Intelligence

A site that links to three of your competitors will probably link to you too.

The most efficient way to find links isn't starting from scratch; it's starting from your competitors' lists. The same directory, the same local news site, the same industry portal — they have it, you don't.

What it's for

The question this answers

Intersects shared sources

Sites linking to several competitors come first; those are the sources open to the sector.

Finds mentions without links

Pages that mention your brand without linking are the easiest links to ask for.

Separates sources to review

Mentions in a negative context are grouped separately, so they don't get mixed in with opportunities.

How it works

Three steps

  1. 1

    Competitor domains are identified

    The websites of businesses that outranked you in the scan are taken as the source set.

  2. 2

    The backlink intersection is computed

    Domains linking to them are collected, and those already linking to you are removed.

  3. 3

    Brand mentions are scanned

    Pages containing your business name but no link are searched for separately.

What you get

The list arrives in the order you should reach out.

  • Domains linking to competitors but not to you
  • How many competitors each one links to
  • Pages mentioning your brand without a link

Who it's for

Agencies doing content and outreach

Starting from sources that already link to the sector, instead of a cold list.

Who it's for

Businesses growing local presence

Local news sites and directories are the sources most businesses overlook.

FAQ

Questions we get

Do you acquire the links for me?

No. Memin finds and ranks the sources; the outreach is yours. Automated link building produces links whose quality nobody controls.

How many opportunities will I get?

It varies with the sector and your competitors' link profiles. Sometimes there are none — in which case it reports that as a finding rather than inventing a list.

Why do brand mentions matter?

If your name already appears, the page owner already knows you. It's the shortest and highest-yield way to ask for a link.
