The Backlink Index Checker takes up to 10 backlink URLs and generates a one-click Google site: search for each — the fastest free way to confirm whether a link has actually been indexed.
How to Use It
- Paste up to 10 URLs, one per line — the exact page each backlink lives on (not your own site).
- Generate index checks.
- Click each generated link to open a prefilled Google search and see the real, live result.
- Use the guidance provided to interpret what you see: indexed, not indexed, or partially indexed.
When to Use It
- After a directory submission batch — confirm your new listings have actually been crawled and indexed, not just technically live.
- Auditing an existing backlink profile — check whether older links are still indexed, especially on directories you're less sure are well-maintained.
- Before trusting a submission report's link count — a service claiming "500 backlinks" is only as valuable as how many are actually indexed; spot-check a sample.
What It Doesn't Do
This tool generates search links for you to check yourself rather than calling a paid indexing API — Google doesn't offer a free one for this specific purpose. It's a guided manual check, not an automated bulk report.
Where to Go Next
If a meaningful share of your links come back unindexed, that's often a sign of low-quality or poorly-maintained directories — see our manual vs automated submission comparison for why that happens, or let BacklinkBot's done-for-you service handle submissions with a live proof link for every listing.
