Reveals your internal linking gaps

Recover lost link equity

What you need to know

Why inbound links matter: Every link to a URL is a vote of confidence. Pages with more quality inbound links tend to rank higher, both from external sites and your own internal linking structure.
Internal links are underrated: Most sites under-utilise internal linking. Pointing more internal links to your key pages passes authority and tells Google what matters most.
Find your strongest pages: Pages with the most inbound links are your authority hubs. These are the best candidates to link FROM when you want to boost other pages.
Spot broken inbound links: If a page that links to you becomes a 404, you lose that link equity. Find and reclaim those lost links by redirecting or requesting an update.
