I built Backlink Vigil because backlink monitoring was either hidden inside bloated SEO suites or left to outdated tools that were slow, noisy, and expensive. Most of us don’t need a $100+ “all-in-one” platform just to check if our hard-earned links are still live. Backlink Vigil does one thing, that is, backlink monitoring, better and faster. We check every 6 hours (not just once a day or week), log the exact moment a link breaks, and send concise email summaries instead of spamming your inbox. Anchor text and dofollow/nofollow changes are also tracked automatically, so you never lose sight of link quality. It’s lightweight, affordable, and clutter-free. Freelancers can track a handful of backlinks for free forever, and pros can scale to unlimited monitoring for less than the price of a coffee per week. No upsells, no clutter, just reliable alerts that keep your SEO work protected.
