What is Backlink Audit?
Backlink Audit is a free SEO Roger tool that find the links hurting you, and disavow them.

- 4Read the ranked findingsResults come back ordered by impact rather than by count, so the issue costing you the most traffic is at the top, not buried under cosmetic warnings.

Why Backlink Audit matters
Competitive Research is where most sites quietly lose traffic: the issues are invisible in a browser but obvious to a crawler. Backlink Audit surfaces them against your live site, ranks them by the traffic at stake, and pairs each one with the change that resolves it, so effort goes to the pages that can actually move.
Search is no longer only Google. ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude answer a growing share of queries by reading the same pages crawlers do, then citing a handful of sources. SEO Roger keeps both audiences in view: the classic SERP and the AI answer, from one workspace.
Who it's for
- In-house SEOs who need competitive and backlink intelligence without stitching three tools together
- Agencies and consultants producing client-ready findings, fast
- Founders and marketers who want the fix, not just the metric
Backlink Audit questions, answered
What is Backlink Audit?
Backlink Audit is a free SEO Roger tool that find the links hurting you, and disavow them. Score your referring domains for spam signals, set the threshold you care about, and export a Google-format disavow file in one click. It audits an existing Backlink Analysis run, so reviewing it again never costs more credits.
How does Backlink Audit work?
You point it at a URL or domain and it does the work for you. Backlink Audit pulls the live data, runs the checks that matter for competitive and backlink intelligence, and returns a plain-language report: what is wrong, why it costs you traffic, and the exact change to make. There is nothing to install and no spreadsheet to maintain.
How much does Backlink Audit cost?
Backlink Audit is free on every plan, including the free-forever plan, and it never spends credits. You can start on the free plan with no credit card, and your very first site scan needs no account at all.
What do I get in the Backlink Audit report?
Each run returns spam scoring per referring domain, adjustable toxicity threshold, one-click google disavow export, free to review, as often as you like. Every finding is written in plain language with the reason it matters and the fix to apply, so you can act on it the same day rather than researching what it means.
Do I need technical knowledge to use Backlink Audit?
No. Backlink Audit explains each finding in plain language and tells you what to change. Developers get the exact snippet or value to ship, non-technical users get step-by-step instructions, and Roger AI can turn the whole report into a prioritized action plan you can hand to someone else.
How does Backlink Audit help with AI search?
Search increasingly happens inside ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude, and those engines read the same signals crawlers do before deciding which handful of sources to cite. Work on competitive and backlink intelligence feeds directly into whether they can reach, understand and quote your pages. SEO Roger tracks that citation coverage next to your classic rankings, so you are optimizing for both at once.
How often should I run Backlink Audit?
Run it once for a baseline, then after any meaningful change to the site, then on a regular cadence: weekly for an active site, monthly for a stable one. SEO Roger can also monitor on a schedule and email you when something breaks, so you are not relying on remembering to check.
Can I use Backlink Audit for client work?
Yes. Agencies and consultants run multiple client projects from one account, and every plan includes unlimited users, so there are no per-seat fees for your team. Pro and Agency plans add white-label PDF reports, so what you send a client carries your branding rather than ours.
Is there a free version of Backlink Audit?
Yes. Backlink Audit is free on every plan, including the free-forever plan, and it never spends credits. There is no trial window and no card required.
What makes Backlink Audit different from other SEO tools?
Three things. It lives in the same workspace as the rest of your SEO stack, so you are not exporting between subscriptions to answer one question. It treats AI answer engines as a first-class audience alongside Google. And it hands you the fix, ranked by the traffic at stake, instead of a metric you still have to interpret.
