list_backlink_opportunities

list_backlink_opportunities returns domains where buying a backlink could improve a project's GEO visibility, paired with live marketplace offers and prices. Each row carries an impact score, raw GEO metrics (citations, fan-out searches, LLMs and prompts involved) and a list of available offers from connected marketplaces.

When to use

This is the link-building tool. Use it when the user says "give me link targets I can buy this month", "what is the best ROI link I can get under €500?", or "rank my backlink ideas by impact-to-price ratio". It builds on list_llm_sources by enriching domains with commercial data: bestPrice, available providers, full offer list.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
projectId	string (CUID)	required	Project to query.
cursor	string	—	Pagination cursor.
limit	integer	20	1 to 100.
filters.minImpactScore	integer	—	Minimum impact score.
filters.hasOffer	boolean	—	Restrict to domains with or without active offers.
filters.priceMin	number	—	Minimum best price.
filters.priceMax	number	—	Maximum best price.
filters.providers	string[]	—	Filter by marketplace provider.
filters.domainContains	string	—	Case-insensitive domain substring.
sortBy	enum	impact_score_desc	impact_score_desc, cheapest_offer, best_impact_price_ratio, recent.

Response

data rows include the impact score, GEO metrics, the cheapest offer and the full offers.items array. The summary block aggregates portfolio stats: total domains, with/without offers, price range.

Tips and patterns

• sortBy: best_impact_price_ratio is the right default for budget-constrained agents: it surfaces the highest impact per euro.
• Use filters.hasOffer: true to limit results to domains where you can actually buy a placement today.
• Combine priceMin/priceMax with minImpactScore to bracket the search to your monthly budget and quality bar.
• A row with impactScore high but offers.count zero is still useful: those are direct outreach targets without a marketplace path.
