Backlinks pointing nowhere
External links landing on deleted pages, bad URLs, soft 404s, or irrelevant destinations.
Link equity recovery, without the busywork
Find every ounce of link equity you're leaving on the table.
LinkSumo finds authority your site already earned but no longer benefits from, then turns the evidence into redirects, repairs, and internal links you can actually implement.

What LinkSumo finds
Value hiding in plain sight.
Most sites do not need more reports. They need a clean list of high-impact repairs, backed by real link and crawl data.
History your migration forgot
Old URLs that still carry backlinks but were never mapped to a useful current page.
Authority trapped inside the site
Orphaned pages, weak internal paths, and high-value pages that receive too little internal support.
Consolidation opportunities
Competing or thin pages that should be merged, redirected, or linked more deliberately.
Missed contextual links
Relevant pages and anchor-text opportunities that can strengthen important URLs naturally.
Redirect chains and mistakes
Loops, chains, broad homepage redirects, and incorrect 301s that dilute relevance.
How it works
From evidence to repair plan.
- 1
Map what earned authority
Combine backlink history with your current and historical URL footprint.
- 2
Trace where value is lost
Validate destinations, redirects, crawl paths, relevance, and internal authority flow.
- 3
Prioritize concrete fixes
Get the exact URL, the problem, the recommended action, and why it matters.
The output
Not “you have 37 broken links.”
Each finding is translated into a repair someone can make.

/guides/technical-seo-auditAction: Add a direct 301 redirect
The old guide still has relevant external links. It currently returns 404, while the replacement page is a close topical match.
Why recover first
You already did the hard part.
You earned the links. LinkSumo helps make sure migrations, redesigns, deleted content, and weak site architecture do not keep wasting them.
- Recover authority without asking for another backlink
- Protect SEO value during migrations and redesigns
- Focus engineering time on fixes with evidence behind them
- Strengthen priority pages with better internal authority flow
FAQ
Useful answers, no SEO fog.
Is LinkSumo another backlink checker?
No. Backlink data is an input. LinkSumo connects it to your live site and URL history to identify what should be redirected, repaired, consolidated, or linked.
Does this help after a site migration?
That is one of the highest-value uses. LinkSumo finds old linked URLs that were dropped, redirected incorrectly, or routed to a generic page.
What does an analysis include?
Prioritized findings with source and destination URLs, the issue, the recommended action, and the evidence behind it.
Do I need to give you site access?
No access is needed for the initial analysis. We start with public backlink, crawl, and URL-history signals.
