Backlink & Competitor Tools
Study rivals’ links, authority and rankings — for free.
8 tools · Real Data
Backlinks — links from other websites to yours — remain one of the strongest signals of trust and authority in search. But links are only half the story: to know whether your profile is competitive you have to see what rivals are doing, which domains link to them, and how strong those domains are. Competitive and backlink analysis turns that unknown into a clear picture you can act on.
This category brings both together. Check any domain’s backlink profile and referring domains, estimate authority with DA/PA and domain metrics, look up where you and competitors rank for a keyword, and find the gaps you can close. Because the data comes from real link graphs and live rank checks rather than a fixed marketing number, you can spot genuine opportunities — a link every competitor has that you are missing, or a keyword where a rival is beatable — and build a link and content plan around them.

What is a backlink?
A backlink is a link from another website to a page on your site. Search engines treat relevant, high-quality backlinks as votes of confidence, which is why a strong backlink profile helps you rank.
How can I check backlinks for free?
Use the Backlink Checker to see a domain’s referring links and the DA/PA Checker to estimate its authority. Both run on real link-graph data with no account required.
What are Domain Authority (DA) and Page Authority (PA)?
DA and PA are 0–100 scores that estimate how likely a domain or an individual page is to rank, based mainly on its backlink profile. They are useful for comparing sites, but they are third-party estimates, not a Google metric.
How do I do competitor SEO analysis?
Identify who ranks for your target keywords, then compare their backlinks, authority and on-page content against yours. The Rank Checker, Backlink Checker and DA/PA tools here give you the raw data to find and close those gaps.
