Monitor your backlinks from Claude
Links get removed in redesigns, changed to nofollow by a new editor, or dropped when a post is updated. If nobody checks, you find out months later, if ever.
BacklinkGenie re-checks every won link weekly. From your assistant you can ask what changed, or re-check a specific link right now.
The prompt
Paste this into Claude and change the details to fit.
List my won links. Are any missing or changed to nofollow? For the ones that changed, re-check them now and tell me what the page shows.
What happens
-
1
List won links
list_links returns each won link with whether it's live, whether it's followed, and when it was last checked.
-
2
Re-check on demand
check_link fetches the page now and reports live, removed or nofollow.
-
3
Record new wins
mark_link_won adds a link an editor told you about, so it's monitored from then on.
List my won links. Are any missing or changed to nofollow? For the ones that changed, re-check them now and tell me what the page shows.
You have 12 won links. 11 are live and followed. One changed: the techradar.com post now has your link as nofollow (re-checked just now). Want me to draft a short note to the editor?
Tips
- Ask "what changed since last week?" rather than listing everything.
- When a link turns nofollow or disappears, a short, friendly note to the editor often gets it restored. Ask your assistant to draft one.
