One managed system, not scattered tools
Link Profile gives agencies a clear view of a client’s backlink authority, referring domains, anchor text health, and link movement. Cached snapshots support quick review without extra credit use; fresh external SEO data can be refreshed with Data Credits when needed. Teams can compare competitor link gaps, review backlink health findings, and export backlink intelligence without relying on the old manual CSV workflow.
The capabilities that make up Link Profile
Competitor Link Gap compares a client’s referring domains against a competitor to surface domains that link to the competitor but not the client. It is a credit-based Link Profile capability for finding realistic outreach targets from external SEO data.
Anchor Text Analysis summarizes backlink anchor text distribution and classifies anchors as branded, keyword, generic, naked URL, or empty so teams can spot over-optimization or weak link context.
New & Lost Referring Domains shows recent backlink movement over a 30-day window, helping teams identify link gains, losses, and changes that may need follow-up.
Referring Domains shows the domains linking to a client site, including authority-oriented context that helps agencies understand link quality rather than just raw backlink count.
Backlink Authority Overview summarizes domain authority, total backlinks, referring domains, dofollow percentage, and authority-oriented profile signals in the Link Profile dashboard.
Data Credit Refresh Preview shows credit balance and refresh cost before users pull fresh external SEO data for Link Profile, so cached review and paid refresh are clearly separated.
Link Health Insights scores and explains backlink profile findings such as authority strength, dofollow mix, anchor risk, link movement, and recoverable lost-link signals.
Link Profile CSV Export downloads cached backlink intelligence for referring domains, anchors, new links, and lost links without triggering a fresh external data refresh.
