Link Clarity Managed Links

Link Clarity Managed Links

Link Clarity Managed Links is where all of your Partner URLs (backlinks) are housed and tracked. Partner URLs are backlinks that have been manually added to the seoClarity platform by you or your team. Having these Partner URLs in your account will help you track, monitor, manage, and optimize your links.


Background & Requirements

Backlinks must be added to your account for Link Clarity to function. There is no automatic backlink tracking in this feature. Add links via either the "Add Links/URLs" button at the top of the Link Clarity Managed Links Page or from anywhere in the platform using the Universal Add Elements option to see data populate in the table. Backlinks can be uploaded in bulk from a spreadsheet. See the "Link File Upload Spreadsheet" section below for the format.



Managed Links can track up to 1000 backlinks. If you need more than that, contact your Client Success Manager or email support@seoclarity.net.
