Majestic

Majestic is a web-based backlink analysis platform established in 2004 that provides link intelligence data to help agencies, SEO specialists, and consultancies build strong search strategies and dominate their markets. The platform maintains two primary web indexes. The Fresh Index provides an up-to-date list of all backlinks discovered in the past 120 days, including lost or deleted links, while the Historic Index contains records going back to 2006 for a comprehensive view of any website's backlink profile.

Core features include Site Explorer, Bulk Backlinks, Link Context, and Link Graph, enabling users to evaluate link quality, filter by topic, and compare top-level metrics for websites and URLs. Majestic uses proprietary industry-standard metrics to measure web authority and relevance, including Trust Flow, which evaluates link quality, Citation Flow, which measures link quantity, Topical Trust Flow, which categorises a website across more than 800 categories, and Visibility Flow, which helps identify editorial-style links. The platform also includes Author Explorer, an exclusive feature allowing users to discover and inspect web authors, view content they have authored, check their authority and relevance, and see backlinks to their authored content.

For technical users and teams building bespoke applications, the Majestic API offers extensive documentation and resource volumes to integrate massive datasets into in-house dashboards or toolsets. Additionally, users can export data to Excel, CSV, and TSV formats, import search results into Google Sheets using data augmentation plugins, or use browser plugins to send page domains and URLs directly to the platform. Majestic suits SEO professionals, digital marketing agencies, and domainers seeking detailed competitor backlink insights.
