Why This Link Is Quietly Capping Your Rankings

Most tools flag anything unusual and stop there. Real toxicity depends on context a script can't judge on its own.

In practice, a human review before it reaches your report separates a real threat from a link that just looks unusual at a glance.

The Basics

What Is a Backlink Audit

A full review of every link pointing to your site, run by a person, not just a score, so you know exactly which ones are helping and which are working against you.

01

Nothing in Your Profile Gets Skipped

Every known link gets reviewed, not just the obvious offenders a quick scan would catch.

02

Real Judgment, Not Just a DR Score

Automated tools flag candidates, then an actual person makes the final call on every one.

03

Fixed, Not Just Flagged and Left

Disavow filing and reconsideration requests are part of the service itself, not an upsell.

Why It Matters

Automated tools flag anything that looks unusual. Real toxicity depends on context a script can't judge, that's why every flag gets a human review before it reaches your report.

FAQ

Questions teams actually ask

Straight answers from the current Link Shield service, not filler.

When should I actually run a backlink audit?

If you've seen an unexplained ranking drop, received a manual action notice from Google, or simply never checked your link profile before, it's worth running one to see exactly what's actually in there before it becomes a bigger problem for your rankings.

How do you decide what's actually toxic?

Spammy or low-quality sites, link farms, irrelevant foreign-language sites with no real connection to your niche, and patterns that look manipulative rather than earned naturally over time. We check each one individually for real context, not by DR alone.

What's a negative SEO attack, exactly?

When someone deliberately points a batch of spammy links at your site to try to trigger a Google penalty against you, often a competitor doing it deliberately. A regular audit catches this early, before it does real, lasting damage to your rankings and traffic.

I already have a Google penalty, is this the right fix?

It's the right first step to take. Our Complete package includes preparing and filing a reconsideration request once the toxic links are addressed, though actual recovery timelines depend entirely on Google's own review process from that point forward.

Can I choose the DR and niche of the sites you check?

We don't guess by domain rating alone. Each flagged link is reviewed individually for context, relevance, and pattern, the kind of nuanced judgment an automated score alone genuinely can't make reliably on its own, one link at a time, every single time.

Is white-label available for agencies?

Yes. Reports are fully unbranded and ready to hand straight to your client, with no Konker branding anywhere in the document at all, so you can present the entire audit and its findings as your own agency's original work from start to finish, every time.

How long does an audit take?

Depends on the size of your backlink profile and which package you choose to run at the time. Audit-only is fastest, since disavow filing and reconsideration requests both add real review time to get the paperwork right the first time, every single time.

How does link removal actually work?

Disavowing tells Google to discount the link entirely, which is the reliable fix since it doesn't depend on a third party ever choosing to act on your behalf. We confirm the filing was accepted and reflects correctly in your report shortly afterward.
