Reports tab: track every link change

The Link Activity Reports screen logs every insert, removal, and update across your site. Use it to see what changed, which anchors and keywords drove the work, and export a CSV when you need proof for your team.

8 min setup guideBeginner friendlyNo scripts needed

Quick start checklist

Open SEO Rank Genius → Link Management → Reports. This tab is a live activity log — not a one-off bulk run summary. Every insert, removal, and update from scanners and editors appears here with full context.

1

Pick a time period

Use the period buttons (24h, 7d, 30d, 12m, or All) to focus on the window you care about. Most teams start with 30d.

2

Scan the KPI row

Check Links Inserted, Links Removed, Unique Sources, and Unique Targets at a glance before diving into individual rows.

3

Filter or search when needed

Narrow by action type, source (bulk insert, Guardian, AI Agent, and more), or search by keyword, anchor, or URL.

Wizard tip If the table looks empty, widen the period to All or run a small linking batch first — activity only appears after links are actually changed.

Link Activity Reports overview

The header shows Link Activity Reports with period controls, a Refresh button, and Export CSV. KPI tiles update when you change the period.

Empty state

If you do not see activity yet, widen the period or run your first linking pass. The table fills in as soon as links are inserted, removed, or updated.

Reports › Empty period

No activity yet for this period

As you use the Posts/Pages scanner to insert links, every action will show up here with full context.

Mockup 5: empty state when no link actions exist for the selected period.

Troubleshooting

Table looks emptySwitch the period to All, or confirm linking jobs have actually run on Posts/Pages.
Counts seem lowFilters and search narrow results — clear them to see the full activity feed.
Missing a specific linkSearch by anchor text or URL. Very old actions may fall outside your selected period.
Need proof for a clientExport CSV with the period and filters set, then share the downloaded file.

Weekly review routine

A short weekly pass keeps link quality visible without heavy reporting overhead.

1

Check Top Anchors for repetition

If one anchor dominates, consider rotating phrasing in your auto-link rules.

2

Scan Recent Activity for removals

Link Guardian removals often signal broken targets worth fixing upstream.

3

Export CSV once a month

Keep a simple archive so you can compare linking volume month over month.

Keep it simple The Reports tab is a live log, not a campaign dashboard. Period + KPIs + activity rows give you everything you need for day-to-day QA.

Success signals to watch

  • Inserted actions grow steadily as you run linking workflows.
  • Top Anchors stay diverse — no single phrase owns more than a fair share.
  • Removals stay predictable and tied to known cleanup (Guardian, undo, etc.).
  • CSV exports are easy for non-technical stakeholders to read.
