Backlink Analysis
The Backlink Analysis module maps every link pointing at your site, tracks referring domains, flags newly gained or lost links, and scores link quality — giving you a clear picture of your off-page authority.
Why it matters: Backlinks remain one of the strongest ranking signals. Knowing what you have, what you're losing, and what's actually worth pursuing keeps your link profile healthy and your rankings resilient.
Before you start
- A project with your website's domain already added
- A rough sense of your main competitors, useful for comparing link profiles

- Never reviewing lost backlinks, missing easy opportunities to reclaim broken or removed links.
Troubleshooting
My backlink count looks lower than expected
Backlink indexes update on a rolling basis and don't capture every link on the web instantly. Give a new link a few days to appear, and check the Lost and New Backlinks view for recent changes.
