Off-Page SEO

On-page work caps out around DR + 20 in achievable KD targets. Off-page work expands that ceiling. This skill generates a prioritized backlink target list across three lanes — directories, listicles, guest posts — and a starter-stack checklist of universal SaaS submission flows. It does not submit anything. The user (or the user's outreach team) does the actual submission.

The off-page half of the SEO operation. Pairs with seo-machine (on-page programmatic sprint) — ship pages with seo-machine, queue outreach with this skill, run them in parallel.

On Activation

1. Load brand context: positioning.md, competitors.md, audience.md, voice-profile.md. Missing files are fine.
2. Surface what loaded:

   Brand context loaded:
   ├── Positioning    ✓/✗  (drives outreach angle + value-add framing)
   ├── Competitors    ✓/✗  (target list source — Recipe F runs on them)
   ├── Audience       ✓/✗  (selects niche-specific directories + communities)
   └── Voice Profile  ✓/✗  (shapes outreach email tone if user chains into cold-email)
   

3. If competitors.md is missing, prompt the user for 3-7 direct competitors before running Recipe F (the researched-target-list recipe needs competitor domains as input).
4. Check for .seo/backlink-targets.json in the current project. If present, this is a re-run — show the user the existing target counts and ask whether to refresh or just present the existing list.
