Strengthen your site’s authority & boost search rankings
Backlinks are a crucial component for driving search engine visibility. SoBold's thorough backlink review uncovers opportunities and eliminates broken links to strengthen your online presence.
Each backlink serves as a ‘vote of confidence’ that enhances your site’s credibility to search engines & boosts discoverability.
Through an in-depth review, we assess the quality, relevance, and context of your inbound links. These elements play a major role in how well your site ranks, which is why an audit of them is key if you want to maintain and improve your site’s visibility.
Our backlinking review
While we don’t offer direct backlink-building services like a Digital PR agency might, we provide a comprehensive backlinking review that audits your backlink profile and provides recommendations to improve it. The review includes:
Backlinking audit
We assess the quality and relevance of inbound links.
This helps us identify potential issues (e.g. low-quality or spammy backlinks) which can harm your SEO performance, and uncovers threats and opportunities to improve your website’s trust and authority.
Disavow file management
For harmful backlinks, we create and maintain a disavow file that instructs search engines to ignore them.
This protects your site’s reputation, maintains ranking stability, and ensures compliance with best practices.
Competitor analysis
We analyse your competitors’ backlink profiles to understand their link sources, the content attracting those links, and the strategies they use.
By benchmarking your backlink profile against competitors, we can highlight gaps and suggest opportunities to enhance your own.
Broken link opportunities
We identify broken or lost links (links that used to point to your site or your competitors but are now 404 errors).
We can then reach out to site owners to replace these broken links with relevant content from your site.

Backlinking Review FAQs
Get in touch with Will for more answers.
A high-quality backlink comes from a reputable, relevant website with strong authority. It adds value, drives referral traffic, and signals trust to search engines.
Toxic backlinks come from spammy, low-quality, or irrelevant sites. They can harm your search rankings and may trigger penalties from search engines.
We recommend a backlink audit at least once a year, or after any major migration, rebrand, or sudden ranking change. Regular audits help you catch harmful links before they affect your visibility.
We compile a disavow file listing links that should be flagged with Google, along with recommendations for outreach where appropriate. We also identify link-building opportunities from competitor analysis and broken link recovery.
We review the sources linking to your competitors, the type of content attracting those links, and the strategies behind their strongest backlinks. This helps us find realistic opportunities to strengthen your own profile.
