Competitor Authority Teardown

This workflow tears down any competitor with live authority data. The agent looks up their DR, TrueDR, and trust evidence, compares it against your site, and maps the referring domains that power their score. It surfaces the keywords they rank 4-30 for that you could contest, then recommends the single move most likely to close the gap. Competitor lookups use public data, so this works on any website.

Paste this into Claude, Codex, Cursor, ChatGPT, or another coding agent. The website, the expected output, and the approval boundary are already written in. First run? Complete the one-time setup; your agent can handle that too.

This is the sequence the agent works through. Read-only steps run on their own; anything that sends or changes something stops and waits for you.

1. 01

   Look them up

   Run vdr authority:lookup for the competitor's DR, TrueDR, trust score, and evidence.

2. 02

   Measure your side

   Run vdr analyze on your site so both sides use the same live data.

3. 03

   Map their links

   Run vdr map to see which referring domains power their authority and which trusted sources skip you.

4. 04

   Contest keywords

   Run vdr keywords:suggest on the competitor to find terms they rank 4-30 for that you can contest.

5. 05

   Close the gap

   Run vdr opportunities and pick the one partner or directory move most likely to close the gap.

The exact commands behind the prompt. Run the chain yourself if you'd rather skip the agent; the ones that send anything still stop for your approval.
