Know what happens before you create an account.
Direct answers about monitoring, imports, data control, and optional managed placements.
Does LinkCheck replace Ahrefs or SEMrush?
No. Use those platforms for backlink discovery and broad analysis. Bring selected backlinks into LinkCheck for focused monitoring, evidence review, and follow-up context.
Which backlink files can I import?
You can import Ahrefs and SEMrush backlink exports, plus compatible CSVs containing referring-page and target-URL columns. Preview the file before importing, or add backlinks manually.
What backlink changes can LinkCheck detect?
LinkCheck records missing or blocked pages, redirects, changed destinations, nofollow and other attribute changes, anchor-text changes, and recovered links.
What exactly is included in the free plan?
One free account can monitor up to 5,000 backlinks across up to 25 verified domains. Free monitoring is not a time-limited trial and does not require a payment card.
How often are backlinks checked?
LinkCheck schedules recurring checks based on each backlink's monitoring state rather than promising one fixed interval for every link. Each backlink's details page shows its current cadence and next estimated check time.
Can I export or remove my backlink data?
Yes. Export filtered backlink views as CSV, and remove a domain and its monitored links from account settings. For broader requests, review the privacy policy or contact support.
How do managed placements work?
After signing in, choose an available opportunity, target URL, and preferred anchor. LinkCheck manages the fulfillment and verification steps included at checkout. Completed orders include one year of placement support. If LinkCheck cannot deliver the placement under the checkout terms, the order is refunded in full. Review placement support and refund terms.
Does LinkCheck recover links or send outreach automatically?
No. LinkCheck detects changes and organizes evidence, notes, contact details, and recovery actions. It does not guarantee recovery or automatically perform outreach.
