BACKLINK HEALTH REVIEW · Workflow idea

See which backlinks are still helping your site.

Check a maintained list of links pointing to your pages and make their current status easy to review. Keep live, missing, and nofollow results together with the pages they should support, so a marketing teammate can spot changes and decide what follow-up is worthwhile.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A current list of backlink addresses and the pages each link should point to

An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps website and marketing teams keep track of important backlinks without checking each referring page by hand.

  1. Choose backlinks and destination pages

    Select the links in scope and identify the pages each one is expected to support.

  2. Check the current link status

    Review whether each backlink can be found on its referring page and whether it appears to pass value or is marked nofollow.

  3. Organize results by follow-up need

    Separate links that appear live from missing or changed links so a teammate can focus on the items that may need attention.

  4. Verify important changes at the source

    Have a responsible person recheck unexpected or valuable results before treating them as confirmed.

  5. Approve any outreach before sending

    Require a person to review the exact site, recipient, and message before contacting an external publisher about a link.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A dated backlink status list showing which links appear live, missing, or nofollow.

Keep in mind

A link can change after a check, and a missing result may need context before anyone contacts a site owner. Verify important findings at the source, keep outreach decisions with the responsible teammate, and approve the exact recipient and wording before sending an external message.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Prepare a reliable backlink list

Keep referring addresses, intended destination pages, and a clear status field together in the team’s tracking record.

Choose which links matter most

Identify the domains or pages that should receive priority when an important link changes.

Set a review rhythm

Choose how often the team wants to check links and who reviews unexpected or high-priority results.

Assign an outreach approver

Name who verifies a finding and approves any external follow-up before it is sent.
