Lost Backlink Checker
Paste backlink pages you already know about and verify whether the original placement still exists. Use it when a report says a backlink disappeared or when a paid placement needs a recheck.
Broken Backlink Checker
Find dead, blocked, missing or changed backlink placements before they become reporting problems.

Create a shareable proof report
Generate a timestamped Bravlo report with the source pages, target verification, anchor/rel details, indexability signals and Google Seen status. Shareable reports are noindex by default.
Monitor these backlinks
Save the verified baseline and receive an email only when a material placement change is detected. Email confirmation is required before monitoring starts.
A “lost backlink” can be several different failures
The source can return 404, the article can stay live while your link is removed, the destination can change, or the page can become noindex. A rel change can also alter the placement without making the page look broken. Bravlo separates these conditions so you know what to ask the publisher to fix.
Broken backlink monitoring is a change-detection problem
A source can fail temporarily or permanently. Distinguish a transient server error from a confirmed 404, a bot-blocking 403 from a missing backlink, and a removed target link from a page-level indexing issue. Different failures require different actions.
Keep a baseline before something breaks
The best time to save evidence is while a backlink is healthy. Export the live status, anchor and technical signals so that later changes can be compared against a known-good observation.
How to read your result
Ready means the source page was accessible during the check, the target backlink was found and no obvious noindex or cross-domain canonical problem was detected. Needs review means a specific condition deserves attention. A 403 can also mean the publisher blocks automated fetches, so Bravlo recommends manual confirmation instead of calling the backlink missing.
Turn a one-time check into ongoing evidence
Use the monitoring option after the check when the placement is important enough to protect. Bravlo stores the technical baseline, rechecks it on a scheduled cycle and alerts you if the source disappears, the target link is removed, the destination changes, the anchor changes, rel attributes change, noindex appears or the canonical status materially changes.
What this tool does not claim
Bravlo does not promise rankings, PageRank transfer, crawler inclusion or guaranteed indexing. The report is technical evidence about the source page and placement at the time of the check.
Next: monitor important links
Turn the live check into scheduled monitoring and change alerts.
Continue the audit →Frequently asked questions
Does a healthy backlink guarantee Google indexing?
No. A healthy result verifies technical conditions and the placement. Search engines independently decide what they crawl, index and rank.
Can Bravlo monitor the backlink after I check it?
Yes. After a successful check you can save up to the configured monitoring limit. Bravlo sends a confirmation email and then alerts you only when a material placement change is detected.
Can I share proof with a client or publisher?
Yes. Create a noindex shareable proof report from the live check. It includes the timestamp, source URL, target, anchor, rel attributes, indexability signals and technical status.
What does Google Seen mean?
When Serper monitoring is configured, Google Seen means the exact source URL was observed in Google search-result data. It is not official Search Console URL Inspection for a third-party domain.
