Backlink Intelligence measures the backlink evidence exposed by the provider you explicitly choose. It gives every observation a source, timestamp, scope, and coverage statement so agents can distinguish provider facts from assumptions.
Use it to inspect authority signals, referring domains, link movement, overlap, anchors, and broken targets without implying that ToolRouter owns a backlink index. Missing provider fields remain unknown rather than becoming zero, and provider-specific limits stay visible in every result.
What you can do
- backlink_overview — summarize available link and referring-domain metrics
- referring_domains — inspect domains linking to a target
- new_lost_backlinks — review provider-observed link movement
- link_intersect — find domains linking to competitors but not the target within measured coverage
- anchor_distribution — review anchor text evidence and associated counts
- broken_link_opportunities — surface verified broken targets when the selected provider 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 provider ownership and incomplete coverage matter.
How to use it
- Start with backlink_overview and explicitly choose your connected data source
- Use referring_domains and anchor_distribution to inspect profile quality
- Run new_lost_backlinks for movement or link_intersect for competitor gaps
- 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. Treat every result as a dated provider observation, not an exhaustive web index.
