You spent $50,000 on backlinks. Are you tracking them?

Most SEO teams discover lost backlinks months later — after the damage is done. Here's what's actually happening:

10-15 hours/month on manual checks

Opening every page by hand to confirm each link is still live burns 10-15 hours a month. That's time your team owes to building links, not checking them.

Sneaky nofollow switches

Dofollow today, nofollow tomorrow. The seller never says a word.

Links removed without notice

Your $500 placement disappears, you notice weeks later, and by then the seller has gone quiet for good.

No seller accountability

Who pulled what, and when? No history means no proof, and nothing to hold the seller to.

AA

"I was buying 20-40 links per month for fintech clients. Rankings were okay, reports looked fine — we had no reason to check manually."

"Then I audited the portfolio properly. About $15,000 worth of links had quietly disappeared — removed, nofollowed, or redirected. Some had been gone for over a year."

"The sellers who were reachable mostly fixed the issues when shown proof. The ones we couldn't contact in time? Those links were gone forever. So I built LinkGuard."
Benefits

Stop losing money. Start protecting it.

LinkGuard turns your chaotic link portfolio into a managed, protected asset.

Save 15+ hours monthly

Monitoring runs in the background, so no one on your team opens pages by hand anymore.

Zero manual checks

Catch issues in minutes

The instant a link is removed or flipped to nofollow, an Email or Slack alert lands in your inbox, so you can reach the seller while they still remember placing it.

< 5 min alert time

Recover lost value

Move fast while the trail's still warm. That's usually the line between a fix and a write-off.

Features

Everything you need in one place

Purpose-built for link building professionals. No bloat, no unnecessary features.

SERP indexation check

Confirm Google still has your links indexed, and catch deindexed pages before they drag your rankings down.

HTML status verification

A deep crawl confirms the link is there, reads its anchor text, and flags any dofollow-to-nofollow switch, surrounding context and all.

Instant alerts

Email or Slack, minutes after anything changes. You're never the last to know.

Seller reliability ledger

Every seller's track record: links bought, links still live, links lost, refunds received. A reliability tier computed from what actually happened.

Contract reminders

A heads-up 14 days and 3 days before each placement expires, so you can renew on time or line up a replacement.

White-label reports

Client-ready PDFs in your logo and colors — with no LinkGuard marks anywhere on them.

Domain trust history

See how often a domain quietly drops links, and steer clear of the risky ones before you pay.

Auto email drafts

When a link breaks, one click writes the recovery email — from what changed, when, and the terms you agreed with the seller.

Search Console connect

Link your own GSC to check whether Google still indexes the pages your backlinks point to — then turn your real search data into ranked, AI-written next steps.

Google Search Console

Connect your Search Console. See what Google actually sees.

Your backlinks point to your pages. Good — but is the page each one points to still in Google's index? If a target page drops out, every link you aimed at it is pushing on a page that can't rank. A monitor watching only the donor side won't catch it. So LinkGuard checks the other end, through your own Search Console.

  • Indexation cross-check

    For every page of yours a link points to, LinkGuard checks — via your own GSC — whether Google still has it indexed. A backlink aimed at a dropped page is money wasted. Now you'll see it.

  • Your real numbers, next to your links

    Clicks, impressions, average position, top queries — pulled straight from Search Console, not a separate Google tab.

  • AI actions from your data — not generic advice

    The AI reads your actual findings — striking-distance keywords, CTR gaps, pages with impressions but no coverage — and writes a short, ranked to-do list that cites your own impression counts.

Read-only access, and it's your data — Search Console has no competitor-backlink numbers, so this won't replace a crawl index like Ahrefs. It does the one thing they can't: check the pages your links point to against Google's own index. Performance and indexation come with monitoring; the AI insights are pay-as-you-go, priced at what they cost us to run.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Under 5 minutes. Sign up, upload your CSV or add links manually, and monitoring starts immediately. No API keys needed, no complex setup.

Two main types: SERP checks (is the page indexed in Google?) and HTML checks (does the link exist, what's the anchor text, is it dofollow/nofollow?). Both are essential for complete monitoring.

Alerts are sent within minutes of detecting a change. You'll get notified via Email and/or Slack (your choice) with full details of what changed.

LinkGuard is designed for monitoring your own purchased backlinks. For competitor research, we recommend dedicated tools like Ahrefs or SEMrush.

Yes! Every new verified user receives 1,000 free tokens credited to their account. Tokens never expire — there is no trial period or forced purchase to keep them.

Prices on this page are shown in USD without tax. If your country charges VAT, GST, or sales tax on digital services, Paddle — our payment processor and Merchant of Record — calculates the correct rate based on your billing country and adds it at checkout. Paddle remits that tax to your local authority on our behalf, and you receive an invoice with the full breakdown. We do not collect or handle any tax data ourselves.

Branded PDF reports are live for every account: set your name, accent color, and logo once in Profile settings, and every report you export renders under your brand — no LinkGuard marks on it. Deeper white-label scopes — a client-portal on client.linkguard.ai subdomain or full UI rebrand under your own domain — are still on the roadmap. Need one of those sooner? Ping us.

Only what's needed: the links you add and their monitoring data. We never sell your data or share with third parties. GDPR and CCPA compliant.
