Backlink monitoring
We regularly track your site's link profile: which new backlinks appeared, which were lost, whether a suspicious or toxic link spike started. We send a digest and an alert about significant changes so you notice the loss of valuable links or an attack in time. Honestly upfront: this is observation via third-party services and alerting, not link building, not link disavowal and not a ranking guarantee.
Backlink monitoring — overview
Backlink monitoring is an ongoing (monthly) service: we regularly collect the profile of external links to your site via third-party services (such as Ahrefs, Serpstat and similar) and track the dynamics — new links, lost links, changes in referring domains and anchors, suspicious spikes (possible negative SEO/spam attack). We keep a history and send a digest + an alert about significant changes. Honestly about data, this matters: no service sees the whole internet — each has its own link index, coverage and delays, so the numbers differ across tools and this is an estimate of the profile, not its complete and exact list. A "lost" link may turn out to be one the tool simply stopped seeing rather than a real removal; we account for that and verify significant changes before an alert. Honestly about the essence: this is observation and alerting, NOT link building, NOT working with referring domains and NOT link disavowal — growing and cleaning the link profile is done by an SEO specialist or by us separately. And crucially: backlinks are only one ranking factor, and monitoring the profile does not guarantee a rise or retention of positions. Coverage depends on the connected services and the agreed domain; someone must react to an alert. An important boundary: this is link-profile monitoring, not link building, not an SEO audit and not promotion. If the site is not promoted with links and the link profile does not matter, continuous monitoring is probably not needed. Picture this: instead of "you lost a dozen quality links and did not notice / a spam spike started before a drop" you get a digest and an alert and decide what to do (disavow, recover, grow — separately). The base price starts from 9,000 ₽ per month; it depends on the profile size and the number of domains.
Problems we solve

- You suspect a spam attack or negative SEO but do not track the link profile.
- You do not see the link-profile dynamics and new referring domains.
- There is no history to tie a ranking drop to a link-profile change.

FAQ
Will you build links and do a disavow?
No. We observe the profile and notify, but we do not do link building and do not disavow links. Growing, working with referring domains and disavow are done by an SEO specialist or by us separately; monitoring only shows what changed and when.
Is the data accurate and complete?
No, it is an estimate. No service sees the whole internet — each has its own link index, coverage and delays, so the numbers differ. A "lost" link sometimes means the tool stopped seeing it rather than a real removal. We account for that and verify significant changes before an alert.
Will positions grow after the monitoring?
No. Backlinks are only one ranking factor, and monitoring the profile does not guarantee a rise or retention of positions. It helps you notice changes in time, while working on the link profile is separate.
