Who Buys This

Five Common Reasons to Audit Now.

🚨

You suffered a ranking drop and suspect link issues

Algorithm updates targeting link spam (Penguin lineage) hit periodically. We diagnose whether your profile is the cause or whether it’s something else.

📚

You inherited a domain you don’t fully know

Acquired site, rebranded domain, or you took over SEO from a previous team — you need a complete picture of what’s already pointing to you.

🚀

You’re preparing for a major launch or migration

Cleaning up the link profile before a relaunch protects the ranking signals you do have and prevents legacy issues from amplifying.

⏱️

You’ve been doing SEO for years and never audited links

Most sites accumulate decade-old toxic links from PBNs, blog comment spam, scraped directories. A baseline audit surfaces what to clean up.

🎯

Your profile looks healthy but rankings are stuck

You don’t need cleanup — you need a strategic acquisition framework. We map the link types your top competitors have that you don’t.

🎖

You’re an agency auditing a new client

White-label-friendly deliverable. Your client gets a senior expert’s assessment of their link risk in 3-5 days, branded as your work if needed.

Everything You Receive

Inside Your Backlink & Risk Audit.

📊

Profile health score

Composite score across authority, diversity, anchor health, velocity, and toxicity. The headline number plus the breakdown of what’s driving it.

🔭

Every linking domain classified

Clean / suspicious / toxic, with the toxicity reasoning per domain. Reviewed by a senior expert — not blanket machine scores.

⚠️

Anchor distribution analysis

Brand vs exact-match vs partial-match vs naked-URL distribution. Over-optimization patterns flagged with the URLs and anchors driving them.

📈

Link velocity vs top 3 competitors

Are you acquiring links faster, slower, or in line? With the source-domain authority distribution comparison.

📝

Ready-to-submit disavow file

Google’s required text format. Every flagged domain reviewed by a senior expert with the evidence behind the recommendation.

🎯

Strategic acquisition framework

The specific link types, source patterns, and outreach angles working in your niche. Not generic “build more links” advice — the actual playbook.

Important: we never blanket-disavow on machine-toxicity scores alone. Every flagged domain in your disavow file is reviewed by a senior SEO expert with the evidence shown to you, so you can review before submitting.

Quick Answers

Who is this for?

Sites that have suffered a ranking drop and suspect link issues; sites that recently acquired a domain and inherited an unknown link profile; sites preparing for a major migration or relaunch; sites that have been doing SEO for years and have never audited their links; or sites with a healthy profile that want a strategic acquisition framework instead of generic “build more links” advice.

What do I receive?

A 14-18 page report with: full profile health score, every linking domain classified (clean / suspicious / toxic), toxicity scoring with explanation per flagged domain, anchor distribution analysis (over-optimization risks flagged), link velocity vs top 3 competitors, ready-to-submit disavow file in Google’s required format, and a strategic acquisition framework — the specific link types, source patterns, and outreach angles that have driven rankings for sites in your niche.

How long does it take?

3-5 business days from the moment you submit your domain. The audit pulls live data from premium link intelligence sources and is finalized by a senior SEO expert.

Is the disavow file safe to submit?

Yes. Every flagged domain is reviewed by a senior expert before inclusion in the disavow file. We do not blanket-disavow on machine-toxicity scores alone — that approach has caused real ranking harm in published cases. Each disavow recommendation comes with the evidence behind it, so you can review before submitting.

Will this recover rankings if I have a manual action?

This audit identifies the link issues and produces the disavow file you’ll need for a reconsideration request. Recovery itself depends on Google’s review and the broader site context. For active manual actions or major ranking drops, the SOS Ranking Drop Audit ($3,500) is a more comprehensive engagement that includes link forensics plus the full recovery roadmap.

What if I am not satisfied?

Full refund, no questions asked. Money-back guarantee on every TapasSEO service.

Do you implement, or do I implement?

You receive the full deliverable from senior consultants — the audit, blueprint, plan, or instructions for your team to execute. Your team (or your dev) handles implementation. If you want hands-on implementation, upgrade to Leverage → — they will quote you a custom price for done-for-you delivery.
