Backlink target discovery

Give a domain and its niche, get back real sites worth approaching: peers for a link exchange, and places that publish guest posts or run listicles. Each result carries a type, a relevance score and a short note explaining why it is on the list — enough to start outreach without opening every site first.

This specialised call is available only when it is enabled for the account. If the route returns 403 and access is expected, contact support@omev.be.

Request

Field	Required	Meaning
domain	yes	the site you are building links for
niche	no	short description of the subject area; sharpens relevance a lot
goals	no	what you are after: link_exchange, guest_post
limit	no	how many results, default 20

Omitting niche works but costs you precision — the wider the domain, the more the results drift. One honest phrase beats a keyword list.

  ],

}

peers are sites at your level, where an exchange makes sense. opportunities are places that would publish you.

type	What it means
link_exchange	a peer, worth proposing a swap
guest_post	accepts outside authors
listicle	runs roundups your product could join
resource	keeps a link list or resource page

relevance runs from 0 to 1 and measures fit to the niche you described, not the authority of the domain. A perfectly relevant small site scores higher than a large unrelated one — that is intentional, because outreach to the second one fails.

Reading the results

Sort by relevance and start at the top: the note tells you the angle to open with. Nothing here is filtered by whether the site will actually say yes — that judgement stays with you, and the note is there to make it fast.
