Backlinks on demand

“Backlinks · project” and “Backlinks · domain” — when to run them and how to use them.

Backlinks actions are on request. They draw from the wallet only on click and are not run automatically just because you added a competitor.

Backlinks · project
A check for the main project domain.
Backlinks · domain
A check for a selected domain, often a competitor.
Backlink Gap
Domains that link to a selected tracked competitor but do not link to you (DataForSEO domain intersection).
