Backlink monitoring that shows which links are still live
Backlink monitoring in SEOENV starts with the links you build. Log them once; SEOENV then checks each source page, confirms your link is there and records whether it is Dofollow or Nofollow.
Free plan: 20 links, 2 clients, 2 projects. Paid plans from $29/mo.
Links disappear quietly, and nobody is watching.
You find out months later, usually when a client asks.
A partner redesigns their blog and your link drops out. A vendor switches a paid link to nofollow. A guest post page starts returning a 404. None of this sends you a message, and rechecking hundreds of links by hand takes hours each month, so most teams stop doing it.
Every link you build, in one table with a status.
Whatever the source, every link lands in the Link Tracker.
Exchanges, paid placements, guest posts and listings all appear in the Link Tracker, tagged with where they came from. Each check fetches the source page, looks for your link and reads its rel attribute.
See what changed, grouped by client.
The Link Status Report turns checks into a list you can act on.
Instead of scanning a whole sheet, open the Link Status Report for one client and see which links need attention. Lost and Broken links are the ones to raise with the site owner first.
How to audit lost backlinks, with or without a tool.
Log a link once. Check it every day.

The tools behind backlink monitoring.
Every feature listed here is live in the app today.
We built monitoring first because lost links were the problem that cost us most in our own client work. SEOENV checks the specific links you log; it does not crawl the web for links you did not build.

What backlink monitoring should catch
Monitoring is not only about removed links. For example, a page can return a 404 Not Found error, or a link can quietly gain a nofollow or sponsored value. Google documents these rel attribute values, so a check that reads the rel attribute tells you more than a simple “found” or “not found”.
As a result, good checks cover every source of links. Therefore, also see paid link tracking, link exchange tracking and guest post tracking, or go back to the backlink manager overview.
