Why we check this
We check this because your backlink profile and off-site authority remain one of the strongest ranking factors Google uses — and one of the easiest areas to quietly damage without realising it.
How it's checked in your audit
In your seoaudits.ie audit, this is checked as part of the Digital PR & Link Building pillar, using backlink data and a manual review of your outreach position.
A common issue we see
Businesses rarely think to publish a curated “best of” list featuring other companies or experts — a proven, low-effort link-earning format.
How to fix it
Publish an objective, well-researched list of top people, tools, or companies in your niche; those featured often share and link to it.
