Backlinks

In simple words

Backlinks is part of SEO. Monitor who links to you. This guide takes you through it in 9 short steps.

Where it fits in your work — Research. Group keywords, watch rankings and competitors.

Before you start

• You need to be signed in to your company's workspace. SEO appears in the Workspace dashboard and in the left menu when your role includes it.
• What you can see and change depends on your role. If a menu item or button is missing, ask your workspace owner to give your role access in Workspace → Users.
• Backlinks belongs to Search & links in SEO. Monitor who links to you.

Step by step

1. 1

   Step 1

   Open SEO

   Sign in and open the SEO panel from your Workspace dashboard (or sign in to it directly). You see only what your role allows.

2. 2

   Step 2

   Open “Backlinks”

   In the left menu, click “Backlinks”. The “Backlinks” screen opens.

3. 3

   Step 3

   Choose a view

   Use the tabs at the top of the screen to switch between:

   • Backlinks
   • Referring domains
   • Anchor text
4. 4

   Step 4

   Find what you need

   Type in the search box (“Source, anchor or target”) to find a record quickly.

5. 5

   Step 5

   Narrow the list

   Use these filters to see only what you want:

   • Search
   • Status
   • Rel
6. 6

   Step 6

   Read the list

   Each row shows:

   • Source
   • Target
   • Anchor
   • Rel
   • Status
   • DR (est.)
   • First seen
   • Verified
7. 7

   Step 7

   Add a new one

   Click “Import CSV” to add one. A form opens for the details.

   Step 8

   Other actions on this screen

   You will also see these buttons:

9. 9

   Step 9

   Done

   Monitor who links to you.

Tips

• You can use more than one filter together (Status, Rel) to see exactly the records you want.
• The search box accepts: Source, anchor or target. Start typing and the list narrows down.
• Use “CSV” or “Excel” to download what you see, for example to share it or keep a copy.
• “Import CSV” lets you add many records at once from a file instead of one by one.
• The tabs (Backlinks, Referring domains, Anchor text) show different views of the same data — switching tabs never changes anything.
• Click a row to open that record and see all of its details.
• If you make a mistake, open the record again and correct it. Changes are recorded against your name so your team can see who did what.
