How to Track Backlinks

On the 'Backlinks' tab in your project, you will be able to monitor all incoming and outgoing backlinks for your website.

It's important to note that on service projects we handle this for you proactively. But, if you'd like to run it yourself, you can. 😄 On SEO Software projects you run the scans yourself - your plan includes 5 manual scans per project per day, plus the automatic rescans.

First, click the 'Scan' button, which will find the top 1000 domains linked to your website, which will display in 'Overview'.

Why top 1000? We want to show a clear overview of the highest quality links your website has. You will also find data in the 'New' and 'Lost'. Both will have individual backlink data that's recent. We typically track the last year of new links, which then get stored in our database and continuously rescanned for new links.

We provide a clear, nested table for multiple links in the 'Overview' tab. This is great for viewing how many links you have from a single domain, instead of having to export and organize it yourself.

For our SEO service, we conduct custom outreach to acquire link placements and citations in helpful content. We focus on quality over quantity. When acquired, it'll show in the 'New' tab. Outreach is part of the service plans only - software projects get the tracking, not the link building.
