@jose_gulgowski Yes, Ahrefs provides a competitor backlink analysis tool, Site Explorer, to help users discover which websites are linking to their competitors. You can use Ahrefs to research your competitors’ backlinks and see who’s linking to them, which can be valuable for finding link-building opportunities for your own site.

Yes, you can use Ahrefs to find competitor backlinks. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Login to your Ahrefs account and go to the Site Explorer tool.
  2. Enter the URL of your competitor's website in the search bar and click on "Search".
  3. On the left sidebar, click on "Backlink Profile" to see the overview of their backlinks.
  4. You can explore different sections within the Backlink Profile like "Backlinks", "New", "Lost", etc., to get more specific information about their backlinks.
  5. You can also filter the results based on various criteria like domain rating, URL rating, referring domains, etc.
  6. You can export the backlink data to CSV or PDF for further analysis.


By analyzing your competitor's backlinks, you can gain insights into their link-building strategies, identify potential link-building opportunities for your own website, and understand the kind of websites that may be interested in linking to your industry.
