Backlink monitoring tool that catches every change
Track every backlink you've ever bought or built. Daily automated checks for live status, dofollow/nofollow, indexation, and anchor changes. Get alerts the moment anything breaks.
Every kind of change, on every link
Most backlink monitors only tell you “link is live.” PRWiz tracks every dimension that actually matters for SEO — and alerts you the moment any of them change.
Live Status
HTTP status codes, redirect chains, and live page checks every 24 hours.
- 200 OK / 404 / 410
- 301 / 302 redirects
- Soft 404 detection
Link Attributes
Dofollow vs nofollow, sponsored, UGC, and rel attributes — checked daily.
- rel="dofollow"
- rel="nofollow"
- rel="sponsored"
Google Indexation
Verify the host page is still indexed by Google. Catch deindexation early.
- Index status checks
- Penalty detection
- Cache freshness
Anchor & URL Changes
Track when publishers swap your anchor text or change your target URL.
- Anchor text edits
- URL replacement
- Brand mention drops
Get notified the moment things change
PRWiz watches every backlink 24/7 and sends you the right alert at the right urgency level. No noise — just the changes that actually matter.
Link removed
The publisher deleted your link or removed the entire host page. Immediate notification with refund eligibility check (for links bought through PRWiz).
Link became nofollow
The publisher silently changed your dofollow link to nofollow or sponsored. PRWiz catches the rel attribute change within 24 hours.
Page deindexed
The host page dropped from Google's index — meaning your link no longer passes any SEO value, even if it's technically still live.
Anchor text changed
The publisher edited your anchor text without telling you. Could be intentional, could be a mistake — either way, you'll know immediately.
Link went live
A guest post or insertion you ordered just went live. Verified, tracked, and added to your dashboard automatically.
New backlink discovered
An organic backlink to your site appeared somewhere you didn't expect. PRWiz finds them through ongoing crawls and adds them to your dashboard.

Backlink monitoring is free with every PRWiz account
No tier upgrades, no per-link fees, no limits on how many backlinks you can track. The monitor is core PRWiz infrastructure — every account gets the same world-class link tracking.
Why a built-in monitor beats a separate tool
Standalone backlink monitors charge $20–$200/mo and don't know which links you bought. PRWiz includes monitoring free, automatically tracks every link you order, and offers free replacements.
Backlink monitoring questions, answered
Everything you need to know about PRWiz's backlink monitoring tool. Still have questions? Get in touch.
What is a backlink monitoring tool and why do I need one?
A backlink monitoring tool tracks the backlinks pointing to your website and alerts you when something changes — when a link is removed, becomes nofollow, the host page is deindexed, or your anchor text is modified. Most SEO professionals don’t realize how often these changes happen until they actually start tracking.
Industry data suggests anywhere from 5–15% of bought backlinks disappear or get nofollow’d within the first year. Without monitoring, you only find out months later when your rankings drop and you’re scrambling to figure out why. PRWiz catches these changes within 24 hours.
How often does PRWiz check my backlinks?
Every 24 hours. Our crawler verifies live status (HTTP code), link attributes (dofollow, nofollow, sponsored, UGC), Google indexation status, and anchor text for every backlink in your account — daily, automatically, with no manual triggering required.
For Pro and Agency plans, you can also trigger on-demand checks for specific links if you need real-time verification.
How many backlinks can I track?
Unlimited. Unlike standalone monitoring tools that charge per link or cap you at 50–500 links per plan, PRWiz lets you track unlimited backlinks on every plan including the free tier.
This is intentional. We don’t think you should have to pay extra to know whether your existing links are still working.
Can I monitor links I bought from other providers?
Yes. You can import any backlinks into PRWiz — links you bought from other marketplaces, links you built through manual outreach, links from years ago, or organic editorial mentions. Just paste a list of URLs or upload a CSV from Ahrefs/Semrush, and we’ll start tracking them daily.
Note that the free replacement guarantee only applies to links you bought through PRWiz directly. For external links, we’ll alert you to changes but can’t replace them.
Is PRWiz’s backlink monitor really free?
Yes. The backlink monitor is included free with every PRWiz account, including the free tier. There’s no per-link pricing, no tier upgrade required, and no hidden limits on how many backlinks you can track.
We make money from marketplace transactions and Pro/Agency upgrades for advanced features like team management and white-label reporting — not from charging you to know whether your own backlinks still work.
What’s the difference between PRWiz and Linkody or Monitor Backlinks?
Standalone monitors like Linkody and Monitor Backlinks are great at the core job of tracking link status, but they have three big limitations: they charge $13–$200+/mo with link caps, they don’t know which links you actually bought, and they can’t replace broken links for you.
PRWiz integrates monitoring directly into the marketplace — every link you buy is automatically tracked from day one, and broken PRWiz links are replaced free. Plus, you’re not paying a separate subscription just for monitoring.
Will I get alerts via email and Slack?
Yes. You can configure alert channels per project: in-app notifications (always on), email digests (daily or instant), and Slack notifications (Pro plans). For agencies, you can route alerts for different client projects to different channels — so your client team only sees alerts for their own links.
Does PRWiz track new backlinks that appear organically?
Yes. In addition to tracking the backlinks you’ve imported, PRWiz crawls the web for new backlinks pointing to your domain. When a journalist, blogger, or site owner links to you organically, the new backlink shows up in your dashboard with a “Discovered” tag — so you can decide whether to add it to your active monitoring set.
