# How to Audit Competitor Backlinks with Copilot

Copilot brings backlink analysis directly into your development environment where you are already working on site improvements. Review competitor link profiles while editing your sitemap or writing content, and immediately apply insights to your code. This IDE-integrated approach eliminates the context-switching that slows down developer-led SEO work.

## Setup

{"mcpServers":{"toolrouter":{"command":"npx","args":["-y","toolrouter-mcp"]}}}

## Steps

1. Add ToolRouter to your Copilot MCP configuration
2. Open Copilot Chat and ask: "Analyze the SEO backlinks for competitor.com"
3. Copilot calls ToolRouter's SEO tool and returns the analysis inline
4. Ask for specific insights: "Which of these domains have the highest authority?"
5. Use the results to inform your content strategy directly in your project

## Example Prompt

```
Analyze the backlink profile for competitor.com and suggest which linking domains I should target for my own site.
```

## Tips

- Ideal for integrating SEO insights directly into your development workflow
- Reference backlink data while writing content or documentation in your IDE
- Combine with keyword research to align content and link-building strategies
