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
Authoritative resource pages regularly link out to dead pages, and most site owners are unaware until someone points it out.
How to fix it
Find broken outbound links on relevant resource pages and suggest your own, genuinely relevant, content as the replacement.
