Who links to your website, and which links are broken?
Links from other sites are one of the main ways Google decides which websites to trust. GEO+ shows who links to you and to your competitors, where a link is worth asking for, and the links that lead nowhere, on other sites and on your own.
In your back office
What you see
How much weight Google gives your website, compared with up to 5 competitors. It grows slowly, over months, from the links other sites give you.
Every site that links to your website, most trusted first, with how many links and since when.
The links other sites added or removed in the last month, with the reason when it is known.
Sites that do not link to you yet but are worth it: the ones AI assistants quote for your questions, and the ones that link to your competitors.
The old addresses of your website that other sites still link to, each with a button to send it to the right page.
Every week, your website reads its own pages and lists the links that lead to a page that no longer exists, and the pages no link leads to.
How it works
Two checks: once a month on the links other sites give you, once a week on the links of your own pages.
-
You name your competitors
Typed by you, or suggested from the brands AI assistants name for your questions.
-
Links from other sites are checked every month
For your website and for your competitors: who links, which links are new, which are gone.
-
Your own pages are read every week
Each link is followed. Only a page that truly no longer exists is called broken: a site that is slow, or that refuses robots, is not.
-
You fix from your back office
A redirect for an old address, a status for each site you contact, and Ignore for what is not worth it.
What you do with it
- Contact the sites listed as opportunities: ask to be listed or mentioned, offer an article or a partnership.
- Redirect the old addresses other sites still link to, so neither the visitor nor the link is lost.
- Correct the broken links of your own pages, and link the pages nothing leads to from another page.
- Aim for more sites rather than more links: one trusted site counts more than many weak links.
Good to know
- A link won today shows at the next monthly check.
- Authority is an estimate: compare it with your competitors rather than with the maximum.
- Every back office we build says how many links of the website are broken. The list of them comes with GEO+.
- A link you cannot change, or a page left out of the menus on purpose, can be ignored so it stops being counted.
How many competitors can you compare with?
The Essential plan compares your website with 3 competitors, the Plus and Pro plans with 5.
What GEO+ adds to your back office
The five parts of GEO+
Every figure comes with its guide: what it shows, where it comes from, how to read it and what to do about it.
-
Page suggestions
Pick a page: GEO+ reads it with its Google searches and writes what to change. Every three months, it lists the pages your website is missing.
-
Google rankings
Your position on Google for the keywords you choose, country by country, checked every week, with what to work on first.
-
AI answers
Every week, your customers' questions are put to ChatGPT and to Google's AI: are you named, what is said, and which sites are quoted?
-
You are here
Links
Who links to you and to your competitors, where to ask for a link, and the broken links to fix, on other sites and on your own.
-
Follow-up
What is new and fixed each week, the month by email for the people you choose, and a 30-minute review with us every three months.
-
A link on another website that leads to yours. Google reads it as a recommendation: the more trusted the site that links, the more the link counts.
-
No. GEO+ shows where a link is worth asking for and keeps track of the sites you contacted. The asking is done by you, or by us within the monthly hours of your website subscription.
-
No. Google's rules forbid paid links that pass trust, and a website caught doing it can lose its place. A mention earned from a directory of your trade, a partner or the press is worth more, and it lasts.
-
The visitor who follows it lands on "page not found", and the trust the link carried is lost. A redirect to the right page keeps both.
-
A few will not. But each one sends a visitor nowhere, and a page no link leads to is hard to find for Google and for AI robots. The weekly check keeps the list short.
