Backlink Intelligence measures the backlink evidence exposed by the data source you choose. Every observation carries a source, timestamp, scope and coverage statement so agents can tell measured facts from assumptions.
Use it to inspect authority, referring domains, link movement, overlap, anchors and broken targets without implying that ToolRouter owns a backlink index. Missing fields stay unknown rather than becoming zero, and source limits stay visible in every result.
What you can do
- backlink_overview, referring_domains, anchor_distribution and new_lost_backlinks: profile size, linking domains, anchors and link movement from your chosen source
- link_intersect and page_link_gap: domains and pages linking to competitors but not to you; backlink_competitors finds sites with overlapping link profiles
- backlink_history, backlink_timeseries and new_lost_timeseries: links and referring domains over time
- most_linked_pages, linked_pages_summary and referring_networks: which pages earn links and which IPs or subnets the links come from
- bulk_domain_rank, bulk_spam_score, bulk_backlink_counts, bulk_referring_domain_counts, bulk_new_lost_backlinks, bulk_new_lost_domains and bulk_page_summary: authority, spam and link counts for up to 1,000 sites at once
- broken_link_opportunities: verified broken targets when the source exposes target status
Who it's for
SEO teams, agencies, PR teams, and founders deciding which links to pursue or recover. It is designed for evidence-led analysis where data ownership and incomplete coverage matter.
How to use it
- Start with backlink_overview and choose your connected data source
- Use referring_domains and anchor_distribution to inspect profile quality, and backlink_history for the long view
- Run link_intersect or page_link_gap for competitor gaps, or backlink_competitors to find rivals you missed
- Screen a prospect list with bulk_domain_rank and bulk_spam_score before outreach
- Use broken_link_opportunities only when its coverage reports target-status support
Getting started
Connect a supported backlink data account, then pass the provider, target, and scope. The history, page, network, competitor and bulk skills use your connected search-data account and take no provider. Treat every result as a dated observation, not an exhaustive web index.
