Where to Find This Tab

Go to SEO Rank Genius → Tools & Analytics → Link Guardian (fourth tab under “Utilities”).

How It Works

  • Post trashed — Inbound links are flagged or removed
  • Post drafted — Links to drafted URLs are flagged
  • Post restored — Previously removed links are restored

Troubleshooting

Links Not Being Removed

  • Only auto-linked content is managed. Manual links need manual removal.
