Ubersuggest didn’t start as a full SEO platform. It began as a simple, free keyword suggestion tool built by a solo developer. Then Neil Patel acquired it, rebuilt it, and over time turned it into one of the most accessible all-in-one SEO tools on the market.
Ubersuggest gave small businesses, freelancers, and solo marketers a way into SEO without the steep learning curves or high price tags of Ahrefs or Semrush. Over the years, it’s expanded to offer domain overviews, backlink discovery, site audits, content ideas, and rank tracking.
It’s easy to use, relatively affordable, and great for general SEO strategy. Especially if you’re focused on content and keyword-led growth.
But when it comes to monitoring the backlinks you already built, the backlink checker tool feature takes a back seat.
What Ubersuggest Backlink Checker Gives You (And What It Doesn’t)
Uber suggest backlink checker lets you plug in a domain and instantly see:
- Who’s linking to it
- Their domain score
- Anchor text
- Number of backlinks gained or lost
Ubersuggest Backlink Checker is a great free tool for discovery and reporting, especially if you want to know what your competitors are doing or track your own backlink profile over time.
But that’s it.
It won’t tell you if a specific backlink went down yesterday or if the page linking to you is no longer indexed.
Ubersuggest backlink checker has no feature of sending notifications when someone changes the rel tag to “nofollow” or swaps your anchor text for a brand mention.
And it won’t catch a 404, 410, or redirect chain until it’s far too late.
Which brings us to Backlink Monitor.
What Backlink Monitor Was Built For
It doesn’t try to be one dashboard that has everything. It was designed specifically to solve one critical problem:
When the backlinks you spent time and energy building vanish, Google doesn’t alert you. You don’t know until losing many backlinks constantly results in page ranking going down.
If you’re paying for placements, running link-building campaigns, or delivering backlink reports to clients, you need to know the status of each individual link. That’s what Backlink Monitor does for you.
Feature Comparison: Ubersuggest vs Backlink Monitor
Add Backlink Monitor to Ubersuggest
One helps you find opportunities. The other helps you protect what you already built.
There’s no need to choose between them because having both will up-level your PageRank like never before.
Ubersuggest is a great way to discover backlinks
It also tracks high-level trends across your SEO campaigns. It’s affordable, easy to use, and gives you a quick read on your backlink profile.
But if you’re actively building links, managing clients, or spending money on placements, you need more than that. You need to know when links break, disappear, or lose value.
