Backlink Check

The backlink check is one of the typical tasks in search engine optimization. It refers to checking the offpage situation of a website. A backlink check shows the number, quality and topic relevance of these incoming links. This process allows es to evaluate the backlink profile of a website. If necessary, measures must be taken to improve the search engine rankings.

Why do websites need regular backlink checks?

Websites need regular backlink checks. Here, the quality and relevance of all incoming links is checked and evaluated. Search engine operators measure the number of backlinks positively if these links have added value for the user. Backlinks signal trust and authority for a website to search engine operators. A poor backlink check, or the unnatural building of toxic links, can lead to a devaluation of the search engine rankings or even to apenalty by search engines.

Therefore, websites need a backlink check at least every 6 months.

rankingfusions, do you actually check each backlink individually?

Yes. A backlink check usually involves the following steps:

  • Listing of backlink data: Identify and capture all the inbound links of a website.
  • Checking link quality: trustworthiness, status codes, topic relevance and quality of backlinks are analyzed.
  • Monitor backlink status: regular checks to track changes in backlink profile.
  • Competitor analysis: comparative analysis of competitor backlink profiles

To support these steps, we use various backlink check tools. These tools provide backlink analysis, monitoring and competitive analysis functions.
