The protocol

Six checks on every link.

Backlink Pulse isn't a one-time report — it's a continuous, queryable record of every link decision other sites make about you.

DETECT
+

New link alerts

Real-time notifications when you get a new backlink — filtered by domain authority, topic, or anchor text. Routed to Slack, email, or your CRM.

RECOVER
⊗

Lost link recovery

High-value link goes dark — we tell you why (404, redirect, editorial change) and ship a one-click outreach template within minutes.

RISK SCREEN
⚠

Nofollow & toxic detection

Dofollow → nofollow flips, spam attacks, toxic patterns. We auto-build disavow files when the situation warrants action.

FAQ

Quick answers.

How is this different from Ahrefs or Semrush?

Two things. First, the data lives in your WP admin — outreach drafts, disavow files, and alerts are all generated next to your content, not in a separate $129/mo dashboard. Second, you don't pay $1,290+ a year for a list and walk away — Pulse drafts the next step.

Is the backlink index really as good as Ahrefs?

For sites under 5M backlinks, yes — we license the same crawl infrastructure used by several mid-market SEO tools. For massive enterprise indexes, Ahrefs still wins on depth. Most WordPress sites won't notice the difference.

How fast do you spot new backlinks?

Median time-to-detection is 3 hours 12 minutes for high-authority domains, and under 24 hours for the long tail.

Where does outreach happen?

Inside WP admin. Click a gap or lost-link target, the outreach draft opens, you review and send via your connected SMTP or Gmail. No CSV exports, no copy-pasting into another tool.

What's the difference between Backlink Pulse and Link Pulse?

Backlink Pulse covers inbound links — what other sites do to you. Link Pulse covers your internal link structure — broken links, orphan pages, equity flow.
