Backlink Audit & Toxic Link Cleanup
Find out what's actually in your backlink profile, and remove what's hurting you.
Years of accumulated links, some earned, some from long gone SEO tactics, some from negative SEO attacks you never knew about, can quietly weigh down an otherwise healthy site.
I audit the full backlink profile, separate genuinely toxic links from ones that are just low value but harmless, and prepare a disavow file only where it's actually warranted. Disavowing too aggressively can do more harm than good.
What's Included
- Full backlink profile export and review
- Toxic/spam link identification against multiple signals
- Manual review (not just automated toxicity scores)
- Disavow file preparation and submission
- Ongoing new link monitoring setup
Process
01
Full Export
Pull the complete backlink profile from multiple data sources for full coverage.
02
Manual Review
Automated toxicity scores are a starting point, not the final call. Every flagged link gets a human look.
03
Disavow (If Needed)
A disavow file is prepared and submitted only for links that pose a genuine risk.
04
Monitor
Ongoing monitoring flags new toxic links before they accumulate into a problem again.
Deliverables
- Full backlink audit report
- Toxic link list with reasoning
- Disavow file (if warranted)
- Monitoring setup for new links
FAQs
Not always. If toxic links aren't actually suppressing rankings, disavowing them won't move anything. I only recommend it when the audit shows real risk.
Common signals include a sudden unexplained ranking drop, a history of past link building practices you're unsure about, or a manual action notice in Search Console.
It's possible, though less common than assumed. The audit checks for exactly this pattern.
