Backlinks

Backlinks are links from other websites to yours, one of the strongest signals search engines use to judge how trustworthy and authoritative your site is.

What the Backlinks screen will do

The screen at Backlinks in the app sidebar is reserved for backlink monitoring: following the links pointing at your domain and how your authority develops over time.

Building backlinks with Grandranker today

You don't have to wait for the monitoring screen to work on your link profile:

• Directory Submissions: Grandranker's add-on that gets your business listed in curated directories. Listings are chosen to match your business profile and country.
• Publish content worth linking to: the Content Engine exists to produce useful, specific articles. Pages that answer real questions attract links on their own over time. Thin pages don't.
• Watch the effect in your existing analytics: authority gains show up as broader keyword coverage and better average positions. The Analytics page and Rank Tracking are where that movement becomes visible.

FAQ

Does Grandranker build links automatically?

Through the Directory Submissions add-on, yes. Curated directory listings are planned, submitted and reported for you. Grandranker does not buy links or run link exchanges; those practices put your domain at risk.

How do I check my backlinks in the meantime?

Use Google Search Console's own "Links" report (in Search Console directly, at search.google.com/search-console) for a free view of who links to you. Your GSC connection in Grandranker covers search performance data. The Links report is only available in Google's interface.

Do backlinks matter for AI search too?

Yes. AI engines lean on well-cited, authoritative sources when choosing what to mention and cite. The same authority that lifts your Google rankings improves your odds in AI visibility.
