The problem it solves

Broken backlinks quietly hurt your search rankings, but finding them means digging through backlink reports nobody has time to check regularly. Even when you do spot one, it is easy for the fix to fall through the cracks without a task tracking it.

Who it fits

SEOs, link-building specialists, or website owners who need to catch and fix broken backlinks before they hurt rankings.

How it works

  1. Runs automatically on a set schedule
  2. Pulls the latest broken backlink data for your site
  3. Logs each broken link with its details in a Google Sheets report
  4. Creates an Asana task for every new broken link found
What you get

Ranking damage you catch before it costs you

You get every broken backlink pointing at your site logged and turned into an Asana task automatically, so it gets fixed fast.

What you get

A Google Sheets report of broken backlinks plus an Asana task for each one that needs fixing.

What you need

A DataForSEO account, a Google account, and an Asana account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
