Link Research Tools is highly recommended by users for conducting link audits and competitive analysis. It provides deep insights into link acquisition and allows users to assess the value of their site's links, as well as identify any potential penalties. The software is particularly useful for serious SEO professionals who want to analyze competitors' link building strategies and find opportunities for backlink building. With its comprehensive toolset, it covers all off-page aspects of SEO including competitor analysis, full backlink profile analysis, link risk management, and advanced link prospecting. One of the standout features is the ability to detect spammy backlinks and calculate the impact of links before building them. Users have found the software tremendously beneficial in identifying weaknesses in their own link profiles and understanding how competitors are succeeding in the SEO market. In fact, it has become the most important SEO tool for many companies' marketing departments. Link Research Tools is trusted by professionals and has earned a reputation as one of the best tools for research and prospecting new links. Its Link Detox tool is especially praised for its ability to conduct detailed link profile audits and ensure the safety of websites. Offering detailed link profile audits, penalty removals, and competition analysis, this software has significantly improved the quality of work for SEO professionals. It helps users stay ahead of the competition and maintain a healthy backlink profile.

Link Detox Competitive Analysis: Many users have found the Link Detox Competitive Analysis feature to be extremely helpful in recovering and protecting their sites from Google Penalties. They appreciate the comprehensive backlink analysis it provides for their own site as well as their competitors' sites, allowing them to compare and identify areas for improvement.

Quick Links Feature: The Quick Links feature of the product is particularly useful, according to several reviewers. It provides a thorough backlink profile in a short amount of time, instantly showing mentions of a URL and the anchor text connected to it. This helps users understand their online presence better and access important information about their backlinks quickly.

Disavow Tool: The Disavow tool within the product has received praise from many users who state that it has helped them clean up toxic clients quickly. They find it amazing and appreciate the convenience of having this tool readily available in the dashboard. Being able to disavow harmful links efficiently has been a significant benefit for them.

Unintuitive Layout: Several users have found the layout of the software to be unintuitive and not as user-friendly as they expected. They have expressed frustration with navigating through the different features and menus, which has impacted their overall experience using the software.

Redundant Tools: Some reviewers have mentioned that certain tools in the software seemed redundant, although it didn't pose a major issue for them since they simply chose not to use those tools. However, these users felt that having unnecessary tools added clutter to the interface and made it more difficult to find and utilize the tools they did need.

Limited Searches: A number of users expressed a desire for unlimited searches, feeling that the current limitation on certain price points is restrictive and could hinder their ability to thoroughly analyze data. These users rely heavily on extensive search capabilities for their SEO work and believe that unlimited searches would greatly enhance their productivity.

  • fast Google penalty recovery
  • keeps a healthy backlink profile
  • calculates the opportunity or risk of potential links that are not built yet, so you can go only after the good ones
  • gives you fresh data from 26 link sources and lets you analyze the full backlink profile. Google search console gives you only a sample of your backlink profile.
  • powerful link prospecting made easy
  • possibility to connect with Pitchbox (professional outreach tool for link removal and link building campaigns), SEMRUSH, Ahrefs, GSC
  • NONE

  • Ability to create the most thorough link profile reports in minutes.
  • Has a great competitor analysis, to help understand how we can better leverage our link building to out perform them.
  • The built in Disavow tool is always handy to have around within the dashboard.
  • Not for newcomers to SEO simply because its vast array of features may hinder them.
  • Is quite pricey too; so for small businesses etc., it's probably not a viable option.

  • Quick Links - it provides an outrageously thorough backlink profile in no time. You can see mentions of a URL and what anchor text is connected to you instantly.
  • Disavow - using the disavow tool has helped clean up some of our particularly toxic clients in a very quick way. It's amazing.
  • Comparing competitors - looking at our competitors and being able to see what link juice they have and how we can utilize that is wonderful.
  • Accessibility - the layout is not as intuitive as it should be. Of course, this is a professional tool and not meant for the faint of heart. However, the design elements could be more intuitive.
  • Redundant tools - our company utilizes several of the tools to help audit and augment our client profiles. Some of the tools may be a bit redundant. However, it's not a terribly big deal, as we just don't use those tools.
  • Limited searches for certain price points - I understand that there has to be competitive pricing especially with the level that Link Research Tools is offering. However, it would be nice to have unlimited searches.
