LinkResearchTools (LRT) combines link data from 25+ link data sources to give you a complete link profile analysis. We then clean, re-crawls and verify the link data for you.

You get a new crawl with every report you create. No other SEO software provides you with as rich, fresh and accurate high-quality link data in one single central system as LinkResearchTools does.

The completeness and accuracy of LinkResearchTools are not only legendary but also the reason why our founder Christoph C. Cemper built LRT for his daily work in link building and competitive research in the first place. Every other product just presents you the fragments of your backlink profile that it has in their index, we combine and clean all data pieces for you.

The web is just content and links.
You need both for ranking in search engines.

This has always been the case since search engines started to crawl the web link-based with Google. Also, humans use links in whatever form to navigate the content on the web. Links are what makes the web, the web, otherwise, it would be just a bunch of "pages in a drawer."

Google has always been a link-based search engine. It is still a link-based search engine. It will always be a link-based search engine. Links are the foundation of the web and the foundation of Google. Links are the foundation of SEO.

Links are the most critical ranking factor for Google. Google has made a tradition of downplaying their importance, and some "SEO influencers" bought and amplified that.

Google has done a lot of work over the years to detect spam links, manipulated links and paid links, but they are far from perfect in doing so.

Google doesn't want you to see that, but many successful SEOs swear by their SEO success through links and spend a large chunk of their time and budget on links. Many high-profile SEOs use LRT and the Link Simulator™ in their daily work to decide which links to build and which not.

Even Google themselves said: "Ranking without links is really, really hard."

The Disavow Tool is a great tool to ensure penalized links don't hurt your rankings.
Buying and building links mean you risk getting penalized by Google. Receiving paid or spammed links passively is another risk you run when you have a successful website.

The Disavow Tool gives you complete control over your backlink profile and what Google counts as links to your website. You can use that tool.

Google has stated that they discover unnatural links and neutralize them for you. Yet many of our users recover penalized websites by doing a full link audit and uploading the disavow files to the disavow tool.

With great power comes great responsibility. If misused or without a complete understanding of the tool, the Disavow Tool can hurt your rankings. Over the years also, a couple pretty naive clones of our Link Detox® and Link Detox Genesis® technology have been published. These tools are not as accurate as ours and can lead to many wrong decisions.

Of course, you can trust Google to fix all your SEO problems and rankings, but what's their motivation to do so?

All our products are subscription based. You will be billed monthly, quarterly, bi-annual or annual basis as subscription term.

You can pay via VISA, Mastercard, American Express, and Paypal. We also offer SEPA direct debit for bank accounts in all European Countries. You can also pay via debit cards like VISA Electron or Postepay. We also offer payment via invoice and bank wire for annual accounts or order size of around EUR 3000 or higher.

The trial version does not allow export of any data from the system, does not include Link Detox Boost. In addition the Trial plan is limited, like all plans, to the specified Link Crawl Budget. This means that domains with bigger backlink profiles than the specified Link Crawl Budget require purchase of additional Link Crawl Budget to run.

Except in the limited trial Yes. We support export as XLS, CSV and PDF for all results. These results are the links combined, cleaned, recrawled and therefore verified to be LRT quality for you. A raw data export of all the link data we got from our data sources that went into the analysis is not possible. For disavowed links we of course let you export the full disavow file, and we keep track of all the changes to it historically in our system, like a version control system.

No, you can just buy more Link Crawl Budget with an add-on. Note however, that the most cost-effective way is an upgrade to a bigger plan if you need more on an ongoing basis.

If you don't use up all the Link Crawl Budget or other add-ons in the billing period, it will be reset, i.e. be lost. This is like with a mobile phone providers data allowance resetting every month or so. So in general all allowances mentioned above are allocated resources per billing period and cannot be taken over to the next billing period.

Yes, with an annual or bi-annual plan, you get all your Link Crawl Budget with your signup. So when you have months with more business than others, you might as well use half or all of your Link Crawl Budget in one month only.

Of course, SEO is legal. The results of Link Detox were confirmed by a German court. There is no doubt that SEO is legal. SEO means the optimization of your website, cleaning up the risky links, optimizing your anchor texts and your overall link profile. There's nothing illegal about that. It will just boost your website's rankings. You will do better than your competitors. You will get more traffic, more leads and more conversions.
