Free backlink verification tools built for real SEO workflows
Check whether a backlink is live, points to the right website, uses the expected anchor, carries follow or qualified rel attributes, and sits on a technically indexable page. Bravlo Tools focuses on evidence you can understand and export—not vague promises.
Verify it. Prove it. Monitor it.
Bravlo Tools follows a simple evidence workflow: confirm the live placement, understand the technical signals, save proof, then monitor important links for changes.

Read guide →Why these tools exist
Buying a guest post, earning a citation or building a directory profile is only the start. The useful question is whether the link still exists and whether the source page can be fetched and interpreted. A publisher can send you a live URL while the target link is missing, changed to another destination, wrapped in a nofollow or sponsored attribute, placed on a noindex page, or canonicalized elsewhere. Those details matter when you audit campaigns or report work to a client.
Bravlo Tools turns those checks into a repeatable workflow. Start with the Backlink Health Checker for a complete audit, then use focused pages when you need a quick answer about indexing signals, anchor text, nofollow attributes, canonical tags or broken placements.
Built for people, agencies and publishers
The tools are useful for in-house SEO teams, affiliate site owners, agencies, outreach specialists and publishers who need to verify placements. Results are designed to be readable by non-technical users while still showing the underlying evidence.
Quick answer
A backlink is technically healthy when the source URL loads normally, the expected target link is present, the page is not explicitly noindexed, and its canonical does not obviously point away to an unrelated domain. That does not guarantee Google indexing or rankings, but it gives you a much stronger starting point than a simple “link exists” check.
