Backlink & authority monitor

On the schedule you choose, a backlink analyst sweeps your link profile, reports the lost/new-link delta, toxic-link risk, and authority trend, and lands one approval — so no lost link goes unseen.

What it installs

Agents 2

  • Backlink Analyst

    Monitors backlinks and domain authority for meaningful change.

  • Backlink & authority monitor Quality Reviewer

    Checks primary evidence, domain controls, deliverable completeness, and communication quality, stopping the run when the work is wrong, unsupported, incomplete, or uncertain.

Teams 1

  • Backlink & authority monitor quality team

    The delivery agents produce the work while an independent quality reviewer checks each workflow handoff against explicit evidence, domain, and communication requirements before the run can continue.

Workflows 1

  • Backlink & Authority Monitor

    Scan backlinks, audit authority, report the delta, self-critique, and approve.

Documents 1

  • Link profile baseline

    The baseline link profile and authority signals the monitor diffs each sweep against.

Goals 1

  • No lost link unseen

    Catch lost backlinks early enough to reclaim them and keep authority trending up. Success looks like: Every sweep surfaces all lost and new links with a source-tagged authority delta and toxic ratio, and every lost high-value link gets a reclaim path within one sweep of its loss.

Skills 3

  • backlink-analyzer

    Profile a backlink portfolio for quality, toxicity, competitor gaps, and lost/new-link deltas across a seven-step method with source-tagged metrics. Adapted from aaron-he-zhu/seo-geo-claude-skills/backlink-analyzer.

  • domain-authority-auditor

    Audit domain authority and citation trust across the CITE framework's four dimensions with veto checks, returning a TRUSTED/CAUTIOUS/UNTRUSTED verdict and prioritized fixes. Adapted from aaron-he-zhu/seo-geo-claude-skills/domain-authority-auditor.

  • alert-manager

    Turn meaningful link, traffic, and authority changes into prioritized, threshold-based alerts with response plans tuned to the metric's normal volatility. Adapted from aaron-he-zhu/seo-geo-claude-skills/alert-manager.

Schedules 1

  • Recurring backlink sweep

    Runs the backlink and authority sweep on the schedule you choose. ## Professional quality control Objective: complete the recurring Backlink & authority monitor operating cycle and deliver a review-ready, evidence-backed result rather than merely report that the schedule ran. Start by fixing the review period, reading the current source records and prior run, confirming required access, and listing missing or contradictory inputs. Execute the bundle's full authored method in order, retaining source, calculation, command, or before/after evidence for load-bearing findings. Separate facts from interpretation, apply supplied policy without inventing thresholds, and stop any branch that requires missing authority or an unconfirmed human rule. Produce the complete named deliverable plus an evidence record, assumptions, exceptions, unresolved questions, and concrete next actions with owners where the method calls for them. Run the workflow's independent verifier checks and fix failures before requesting approval. The task is done only when every requested section and quality criterion passes or a blocker is explicit; silence, inaccessible data, or polished prose is not proof of completion. Verify current platform guidance, crawl or search evidence, measured versus estimated metrics, affected URLs, and the reader value behind each recommendation. Reject keyword-shaped filler, generic AI phrasing, stale rules, date-only refreshes, unsupported ranking claims, and content written for a crawler rather than a person. The human retains authority over publication, sending, spend, signing, merging, deployment, and other consequential external actions.

Connectors optional

  • Ahrefs

    Ahrefs

    Connects to Ahrefs so the backlink analyst can pull referring domains, lost links, and authority metrics for each sweep.

  • Semrush

    Semrush

    Connects to Semrush so the backlink analyst can pull referring domains, lost links, and authority metrics for each sweep.

Folders 1

  • Backlink & Authority Monitor

Requirements

  • Browser access to Google Search Console — The agent works in Google Search Console through its web interface in your browser and pauses for your approval before exporting links or filing a disavow. Until you connect it, it works from attached link exports and the link profile document.
