Step 2: Check Your Backlinks

⚠️This is where the software has 2 paths:

PATH 1️⃣ You have paid Ahrefs account:

• All data imports is 100% automated
• Pair API on this page

PATH 2️⃣: You don't have a paid Ahrefs account:

• You have to manually import your backlink data
• Message me for more options

➡️ PATH 1️⃣ (✔️Ahrefs) Linkio will automatically import your backlinks

➡️ PATH 2️⃣ (❌Ahrefs) You can import your existing backlinks with the "Import Backlinks" button

👉Note: Only import the backlinks for that particular page

➡️Once import is complete, Linkio will perform several background checks on each backlink

• Verify referring page status (200, 404, etc)
• Verify backlink is on the page
• Determine Dofollow/Nofollow status
• Check if referring page is indexed in Google or not
• Confirm anchor text of backlink
• Categorize anchor text into 1 of 13 categories

👉 Note: These checks can occur instantly, or it can take up to a couple of hours depending on the currently system load. You can check the Crawler queue in the top right header to determine how long it should take

Once analysis is complete, you're ready for step 3.

Step 3: Check Anchor Text Percentages

➡️ You should make sure these percentages are correct first by opening the categorization settings, and making adjustments to the fields based on incorrect categorizations.

👉Note: Only backlinks that are Dofollow and Indexed will count to your anchor text percentages. You can click on the page metrics to filter by just those links.

👉Note: In the percentages sidebar, you'll see the Ideal column. By default, an ideal is chosen based on the Page Type you selected in the previous step.

👉Note: You can change this by clicking the "Change Ideal Percentage" button.

You can switch to a different default, Create your own percentage targets from this page, or calculate a custom target percentage based on competitor data.
