How We Audit Your Backlinks

At Awasho Marketing Agency, we follow a step-by-step, expert-driven process to ensure your backlink profile is clean, strong, and aligned with Google’s guidelines. Here’s how we do it:

Step 1: Backlink Data Collection

We gather your complete backlink profile using trusted SEO tools like Ahrefs, SEMrush, Moz, or Google Search Console. This gives us a full list of all websites linking to yours.

Step 2: Toxic Link Detection

Next, we scan for toxic or harmful backlinks. These include:

1. Spammy or irrelevant websites
2. Links from penalized or flagged domains
3. Over-optimized anchor texts
4. Links from link farms or PBNs (Private Blog Networks)

We use both automated tools and manual checks to ensure accuracy.

Step 3: Manual Review

Our SEO experts manually review the most suspicious links. We don’t rely only on tools—we look at link context, content quality, and domain authority to confirm whether a link is hurting your rankings.

Step 4: Disavow File Preparation

Once we identify the harmful backlinks, we create a disavow file—a special list you can submit to Google to ignore those links and avoid penalties.

We format this file according to Google’s official requirements and give you clear instructions (or submit it on your behalf if requested).

 

Step 5: Strategy & Recommendations

Along with the audit, we provide a full report that includes:

1. A list of harmful backlinks
2. Links to keep and strengthen
3. Suggestions for future backlink-building
4. Personalized SEO advice to protect your rankings

This professional approach helps protect your website from penalties, improves your SEO performance, and supports long-term growth.
