Majestic is a specialist backlink intelligence platform that maps the web’s link graph, best known for its Trust Flow and Citation Flow metrics used by SEOs to judge link quality.
Majestic has crawled the web since 2008 and maintains two indexes: a Fresh Index of recently discovered links and a Historic Index reaching back to 2006 — one of the largest link databases in the industry. Its Site Explorer breaks down any domain’s backlink profile with referring domains, anchor text and link context, while tools like Link Graph visualize how sites connect to each other. Because it focuses purely on links rather than trying to be an all-in-one suite, Majestic is the depth tool that link builders, digital PR specialists and auditors pair with broader SEO platforms.
Its Topical Trust Flow refines the headline metric further, scoring a site’s authority within categories such as Business, Arts or Health, which helps separate genuinely relevant links from merely numerous ones. A free Majestic browser extension shows summary link metrics for any page you visit, and the platform’s keyword checker and Search Explorer add light keyword context around the core link data. Reports can be scheduled and exported for client delivery.
Lite costs $49.99/month, Pro is $99.99/month (adding the Historic Index and raw data exports) and the API plan is $399.99/month, with lower effective rates on annual billing. A free account offers limited backlink checks for sites you own, and paid plans include a 7-day money-back guarantee.
SEO professionals, link builders and agencies that need deep, trustworthy backlink data for audits, competitor analysis and digital PR.
