Target QA
Link presence
Practical backlink validation signals in one workflow
Use the checker to review the status signals that matter when a backlink needs QA, recovery or accurate campaign reporting.
Use it during internal linking audits, content optimisation, technical SEO reviews, website migrations and content hub planning.
Paste lists or upload CSV data
Validate backlink URLs from a quick pasted list, an outreach sheet, a backlink export or a client tracker.
Check HTTP status and redirects
Review whether backlink source pages are live, broken, redirected, blocked, timed out or resolved to a final URL.
Review indexed, not indexed or unknown status
Use available indexing signals to identify backlink pages that appear indexed, not indexed or need manual review.
Confirm target links, rel values and anchors
Check whether each source page still links to your target and capture follow, nofollow, sponsored, UGC and anchor text where available.
Keep outreach records, client reports and campaign data honest
A backlink is more useful when the source page is live, accessible, crawlable, indexable and still linking to the right target. When links disappear, pages break or attributes change, backlink validation helps you decide what needs recovery, follow-up or lower-priority classification.
Validate backlink value faster
Check whether backlink pages are live, indexed and still linking to your target without manually opening every URL.
Find lost or removed backlinks
Identify pages where the expected link to your site is missing, broken, redirected or no longer useful for reporting.

Validate placements before you report them as live, indexed or active in link-building and digital PR workflows.

Keep the workflow simple: add backlinks, choose verification settings, run the checker and inspect results in the output dashboard.

Paste backlink URLs or upload a CSV backlink list from a campaign sheet, export or tracker.
