Yes. Each backlink is assigned a link rating based on the authority, relevance, and trust of the referring domain.
This makes it easier to identify low value or potentially harmful (“toxic”) backlinks. Low value links are not automatically harmful, but they usually provide little positive impact on your rankings.

Seobility provides detailed metrics for each backlink, including:
- Link rating: An assessment of the link’s value and potential impact
- Backlink source: The website/page linking to your content
- Backlink target: The linked page on your website
- Follow/nofollow status and anchor type (text or image)
- Number of external and internal links on the linking page
- Discovery and last check dates
You’ll also see aggregated metrics for your entire backlink profile such as:
- Follow vs Nofollow ratio: An indicator of the potential impact of your backlinks
- Distribution of top-level domains (TLDs): Insights into the diversity of backlink sources
- Language distribution: Information about the international reach of your backlinks
Backlinks must first be discovered and crawled before they are added to our database. As a result, newly created backlinks may take some time to appear in Seobility.
If a linking page does not block our backlink crawlers, we can crawl the page and collect the relevant backlink data. Once this process is complete, the backlink information will be processed and displayed in your Seobility account.
Backlink Monitoring is included in all paid Seobility plans.
The scope of competitor tracking varies by plan — see our pricing page for details.
