Link Profile Audits & Consulting

Uncover Risks and Opportunities in Your Backlink Profile

Your backlink profile is one of the strongest ranking factors for Google, but it can also be your biggest liability. A profile full of low-quality, spammy, or irrelevant links can lead to penalties and suppress your rankings. Our Link Profile Audit is a deep, manual analysis designed to identify toxic backlinks, uncover hidden opportunities, and provide a clear, actionable roadmap for building a powerful and penalty-proof link profile.

What Our Link Profile Audit Includes:

  • Toxic Link Detection

    We manually check your backlinks to spot harmful links from spam sites, link farms, or negative SEO attacks that risk Google penalties.

  • Anchor Text Check

    Over-optimized anchor text is a major red flag for Google. We review your anchor text variety and spot unnatural patterns that need fixes.

  • Disavow File

    You get a ready-to-submit disavow file with all toxic domains, so you can quickly tell Google to ignore these harmful links.

  • Penalty Recovery

    Hit by a Google penalty? We find the root cause, fix the issues, and submit reconsideration requests to get your site back in good standing fast.

  • Negative SEO Cleanup

    Under attack from negative SEO? We remove malicious backlinks, clean up spam content, and restore your site's reputation and search performance.

  • Competitor Gap Study

    We examine your competitors' backlink profiles to find high-authority domains you can target for link outreach and gain a competitive edge.

  • Link Growth Plan

    Beyond cleanup, we create a clear plan with recommended link tactics and targets to build a strong, authoritative profile for the future.

Manual Review of Toxic Backlinks

We manually check every single backlink in your profile to find harmful links from spam sites, link farms, or negative SEO attacks. These bad links can trigger Google penalties and hurt your rankings. Our team looks at each link's quality, relevance, and source to determine if it helps or hurts your site. You get a complete list of all the toxic links we find, plus recommendations on what to do with each one.

Anchor Text Analysis and Recommendations

Over-optimized anchor text sends up red flags to Google and can tank your rankings fast. We review your entire anchor text distribution and look for unnatural patterns that need immediate attention. Our analysis shows you exactly which keywords appear too often and which anchors look suspicious. You'll know precisely what changes to make so your link profile looks natural to Google and helps your rankings instead of hurting them.

Custom Disavow File Creation

You get a ready-to-submit disavow file that includes all the toxic domains we find in your backlink profile. This file tells Google to ignore these harmful links when they evaluate your site. We format everything correctly and include detailed notes about why each domain made the list. All you have to do is upload the file to Google Search Console, and those bad links stop counting against you right away.

Google Penalty Recovery Services

A Google penalty can destroy your traffic overnight, but we know how to fix it fast. We find the exact cause of your penalty, whether it's from bad links, thin content, or something else entirely. Our team creates a complete recovery plan and handles the reconsideration request process for you. Most clients see their rankings start to recover within weeks after Google approves the request and lifts the penalty.

Negative SEO Attack Defense

Competitors sometimes try to hurt your rankings by pointing thousands of spam links at your site. We help you fight back by finding all these malicious backlinks and removing them from your profile. Our process includes regular monitoring to catch new attacks early, plus immediate cleanup when we find harmful links. Your site stays protected from these attacks, and your rankings remain stable even when competitors try to take you down.

Competitor Backlink Gap Analysis

We look at your top competitors' backlink profiles to find high-quality sites that link to them but not to you. These gaps represent your best opportunities for new link building efforts. You get a prioritized list of domains to target, along with contact information and outreach templates. This competitive intelligence helps you build the exact links you need to outrank your competition and dominate your market.

    Wish all of our vendors were this good! Professional, communicative, responsive, and effective. I wouldn't change a thing - I'd have them work full time for us if they could. This has been such a refreshing experience. We've dealt with several content & web management firms, and this is hopefully the last! We're really pleased with the results, the quality of work, the ease of communicating, and the professionalism. (And they're really likeable.)

    Content Powered is our best kept secret. James is a true professional and certainly knows his stuff with WordPress, SEO, content marketing, and coding. He's helped us take our struggling site and audit our content, create higher quality content that is actually ranking and getting traffic, and improve our business. I couldn't be happier.

    The quality of their content is phenomenal, as is their knowledge how it should be organized, displayed, etc. I wouldn't change a thing. There are very few vendors that would describe as perfect, but they are definitely one of them. I have used various content writers of the years, but none are even half as skilled as Content Powered. I am shocked at how well they are able to write about my industry. I am thrilled with everything that they touch. I wish I found them sooner, I could have saved myself a lot of headaches and sleepless nights.
