Majestic backlinks tracking lets you monitor your backlink profile growth by watching new referring domains and comparing them to previous periods. Use the link types dashboard for detailed insights, and share these results with clients to highlight your link-building success.

View all available Majestic backlink metrics to learn what's possible with the Majestic integration.

Majestic doesn't require any login credentials or special access to connect. Follow these steps to enable it for a Client.

Step 1: Open the Client where you'd like to connect Majestic, then click the Data Sources tab at the top.

Step 2: Click the blue Connect Data Source button in the upper right corner of the page.

Step 3: Search for Majestic in the search bar at the top, then click the Majestic card.

Step 4: Click Enable, then wait for Majestic to be added for your Client.

AgencyAnalytics uses Majestic's fresh data, and Majestic only retains new and lost backlink data for 116 days. Since Majestic doesn't retain this information beyond that window, AgencyAnalytics can't display it after those 116 days either.

AgencyAnalytics pulls backlink data directly from Majestic. You can verify this by checking the backlink sources listed in your Majestic data source dashboard.

To manually verify a backlink, click it and view the webpage's source code. You can view a webpage's source code by either:

For example, the AgencyAnalytics Features page has a backlink to Capterra in the bottom right.

Once we open the source code of this page, we can select CTRL + F to search for "Capterra". We can then see the backlink, beginning with https://www. as shown below:

If backlinks are appearing in footers or on sites with a lot of pages, this can contribute to a high number of backlinks.

The Backlinks chart in the Links section shows your full backlink history pulled from Majestic's complete database. The Summary section's New and Lost Links chart uses a separate real-time data source that only tracks recent changes. Because these are two different data sources, the numbers won't always line up. This is expected behavior.

Important to note: any widgets that show data broken down by a parameter, such as no-follow versus follow backlinks, don't take the URL scope into account. These widgets will show the total number of backlinks for the root domain instead.

Trust Flow (TF) and Citation Flow (CF) are calculated differently for a URL than for a domain. These are two separate metrics and aren't meant to be compared.

AgencyAnalytics displays domain-level TF/CF because it represents the overall authority of a domain rather than a single page. If you're checking your numbers directly on Majestic.com and seeing a different score, you're likely viewing the URL-level TF/CF instead. Majestic's flow metrics are scored on a 0 to 100 scale designed for domain-to-domain and URL-to-URL comparisons only, not for comparing domain scores against URL scores.

To confirm the numbers match:

Step 1: Go to Majestic.com and look up your domain.

Step 2: Switch the URL scope from URL to Root Domain.

Step 3: Compare that score to the domain TF/CF shown in AgencyAnalytics. The numbers should now match.

If your Client's match type setting is configured differently than expected, that can also cause the numbers you see to differ.
