Backlink audit - anyone know of a good tool for manually checking backlinks?

[McTaggart]

Hi all,

I'm looking at how to handle backlinks on a site, and am seeking a tool into which I can manually paste backlinks - is there a good backlink audit tool that offers this functionality?

Please let me know! Thanks in advance, Luke

Hi Luke,

Moz Pro has a good backlinks tool.  https://moz.com/products/pro

Also, Ahrefs has a pretty substantial backlinks tools https://ahrefs.com/backlink-checker

As does Majestic https://majestic.com

For free tools you can use SEO Powersuite which you can run locally on your PC. I would make sure you check the settings on this though and read the user guide. It is a pretty powerful suite of tools. https://www.uk.link-assistant.com/features-and-editions.html

The hoth also lets you check your backlinks for free, this is powered by Ahrefs I think. https://www.thehoth.com/backlinks-checker/

I hope this helps.

Hi Luke,

Not sure about the manually pasting backlinks in, but I have been using SEMRush for over 3 years and the backlink audit tool section here is really great. It shows you plain and simple your toxicity score and how many backlinks they have analysed. You can also choose to keep or delete links straight from this tool.

It's a pretty comprehensive tool, especially when you consider all the other things available within SEMRush (like position tracking, keyword research, competitor research, traffic analytics, site audit, etc.)

Hope that information helps
