Why backlink teams use TraceLinker

Backlink data is easy to collect. Hard to act on.

Most tools show long backlink lists, but they do not help you decide what to fix first. TraceLinker turns backlink data into clear actions, so your team can spot risky links, recover lost links, and focus on what matters most.

×You discover lost backlinks weeks after they died.

Re-crawls every hour, day, or week. Get an email and Slack alert the moment a link goes from alive to changed to dead.

×Black-box scores give you a number with no reasoning.

Every score comes with one-sentence AI reasoning plus 3 to 5 concrete next steps for that specific link.

×You pay for backlink data, then still manage follow-up in a spreadsheet.

Keep your discovery tool. TraceLinker turns the links you care about into monitored actions, alerts, and reclaim drafts.

×When a link dies, you waste an hour writing the outreach email.

TraceLinker auto-drafts a polite reclaim email the second a link breaks, with the source contact already filled in.

×Toxic backlinks tank your rankings before you spot them.

AI flags PBN, spam, and suspicious-context links. One click downloads a Google-ready Disavow file.

×You can see competitor backlinks, but acting on them takes hours.

Drop a competitor CSV. TraceLinker surfaces every domain that links to them but not you, plus AI-drafted cold pitches.

Trace every link, score every link

Add source URLs manually or upload a CSV. TraceLinker crawls each page and scores it 1-100 with readable reasoning. Toxic links get flagged and can be exported as a Google-ready disavow file.

  • Manual entry or any CSV

    Use links you already know or upload exports from Ahrefs, Semrush, GSC, or another source.

  • Score with reasoning

    Every 1-100 score has the AI's actual rationale next to it.

  • Toxic + disavow

    PBN/spam/adult markers detected. One-click Google-ready disavow.txt.
