Pro tips for the Broken Backlink Scanner (Pro)

t => `Analyze a competitor's public page with the same input style and compare the profiles — the deltas are competitive intel.`
t => `Compare the key terms in the output against the terms you intended to rank for — a mismatch is your revision plan.`
t => `If readability scores run high (difficult), shorten sentences before you simplify vocabulary; structure moves the needle more.`
t => `Paste enough text for a meaningful read — a single sentence gives the ${t.name} little to measure; two or three paragraphs give it a voice.`
t => `Run your draft before your final version; the biggest metric improvements come from early structural edits, not last-minute polish.`

Five mistakes this tool prevents

t => `Comparing profiles across wildly different content types; a landing page and a whitepaper have different healthy baselines.`
t => `Optimizing a single metric (word count) while ignoring the structure and key-term signals next to it.`
t => `Editing without re-analyzing, so you never learn which changes actually moved the numbers.`
t => `Assuming a good score means good writing — the metrics flag mechanical issues, meaning and voice are still yours to judge.`
