TOOL 02 · BACKLINK VERIFIER

Check whether the backlinks you built are still live

Add your client’s domain and the pages where the links were placed. The Backlink Verifier opens every page and reports what is actually on it: which links are still there, the exact URL each one points to, the anchor text, and whether it is follow, nofollow, UGC or sponsored.

A page it could not read is reported as Unable to Verify, never as a missing link. That distinction is the point of the tool: it is what stops you telling a client a link was removed when it was not. It is the second of three WebDiagnosis tools, alongside the Backlink Prospect Checker.

The Verifier checks the exact pages you give it. It does not discover backlinks, build links, or promise that a link helps rankings.

THE THREE ANSWERS

Found, Not Found,
or Unable to Verify

Most checkers give you two answers and quietly file everything they could not read under the second one. A blocked page and a removed link are not the same fact, and a client report that treats them the same is wrong in the direction that costs you money.

01 Found
A link to the client domain is on the page. Every one of them is listed, so a page carrying four links to the client is four rows, not one.
Found
02 Not Found
The page was read and there is no link to the client on it — or the page itself is gone. Either way the answer is settled.
Not Found
03 Unable to Verify
The page could not be read: a timeout, a bot wall, a refused request, a server error, or content the browser only builds after loading. Nothing is claimed about the link, because nothing was seen.
Unable to Verify

INTO THE CLIENT’S SHEET

Take the rows you need,
and nothing else

A report you have to re-type is a report you will not send. Filter to what matters, tick the rows, and copy.

Filter first

Narrow to Found, Not Found, the pages that could not be read, or only the rows that carry a link. Every count on screen is a filter you can press.

Tick what you need

A checkbox on every row, one in the header for everything the filter is showing, and shift-click to take a run of rows at once. Changing the filter keeps your selection, and tells you when part of it is out of view.

Copy or export

Copy the selected rows, or every row the filter is showing, straight to the clipboard for a paste into Sheets or Excel. Or export the whole report to Excel, CSV or Google Sheets.

HOW THE MATCH IS MADE

What counts as
a link to your client

Worth knowing before you read a report, because it is where most checkers quietly disagree with each other.

See a sample report
Subdomains and www both count
Enter example.com and a link to www.example.com or blog.example.com is a match. You are checking a client, not a hostname.
Every matching link is reported
Not just the first one found. A page linking to three different client URLs gives you three rows, each with its own anchor and link type.
The page is read as served
What is in the HTML the server returns. A link a script writes in afterwards is not there to read, and that page is reported as Unable to Verify rather than as a lost link.
A dead source page is Not Found
If the page carrying the link has gone, the link has gone with it. That is a settled answer, not an unreadable one.

FIT

Who it is for, and who it is not for

Use it when you already hold the exact pages where links were placed. Finding links you did not build is a different job.

A fit if you

  • Report to a client on links you built, and need the report to be true on the day you send it.
  • Already hold the exact pages where links were placed, from your own records or a vendor's.
  • Need the target URL, anchor text and link type for each link, not just a yes or no.
  • Want the rows you need in the client's sheet without re-typing them.
  • Are checking a batch after a client redesign, a vendor handover, or a quarter of outreach.

Not a fit if you

  • Need your backlinks discovered for you. This is not a backlink index; it checks the pages you give it.
  • Want scheduled re-checks and change alerts. That is the planned Bulk Link Checker and Monitor.
  • Expect a judgement on whether a link helps rankings. It reports what is on the page and makes no ranking claims.
  • Want pages fixed or links rebuilt. It reads public pages and never changes anything.

TWO TOOLS, ONE ACCOUNT

Before the link,
and after it

Both tools share one account and one credit balance. 500 credits on first use, no card, and nothing is ever posted on your behalf.

Backlink Prospect Checker

Before you build: which pages on your list can actually take a comment link, whether that link would be followed, the Ahrefs DR, and the spam risk.

Explore the checks

Backlink Verifier

After you build: which of those links are still on the page, where each one points, what it says, and what it carries. Live now.

Verify your backlinks

Bulk Link Checker and Monitor

Planned. Scheduled re-checks of the same pages, reporting the links that disappeared, changed anchor or target, or turned nofollow since the last reading.
