Guide

Free backlink checker for small business websites

This tool searches public web results for pages that mention your domain, then verifies whether those pages include a live link back to you. You get a referring-page list — not just an on-page score.

These free WebSolNet tools are built for US small business owners — HVAC, auto repair, home services, coaches, and product sellers — who want clear answers without an agency retainer. Run a URL, read the notes, then decide whether to fix it yourself or get a quote.

Practical tips

  • New brands may show few results — build citations and useful pages first.
  • Verified means we found an actual link in the HTML sample.
  • This free scan is smaller than Ahrefs/Moz; use it as a snapshot.

Quick FAQ

Does this show all my backlinks like Ahrefs?

No. It is a free public scan with limited coverage. Paid tools index far more links. Use this for a quick inbound snapshot and live verification.

Why are some rows “mentions” not “verified links”?

A page can mention your domain in text without a clickable href. Verified means we found an actual link to your domain in the HTML.

What is the best first step to get backlinks?

Publish clear service pages, claim directory/GBP profiles, and create one useful resource partners would cite.

Who should use this tool?

US small businesses doing local SEO, directory outreach, or partner link swaps.
