Anchor Text Checker — Audit Backlink Anchors & Target Links

Bulk anchor text checker. Confirm each backlink uses the required anchor and links to your target domain, with HTTP status, match rate, and a full report you can export.

Verify that every backlink actually uses your required anchor text and points to your target domain. IndexVero returns HTTP status, matched / wrong / skipped per URL, and an overall match rate you can report on.

How it works

STEP 01

Paste backlink URLs

Drop in the source pages that should contain your link, plus your target domain.

STEP 02

Add required anchors

List the anchor texts you expect. Use status-only mode to just check HTTP, or deep scan for hidden links.

STEP 03

Read the match report

See HTTP status, matched / wrong / skipped, the anchor found, and an overall match rate. Export the CSV.

Features

Anchor + target verification

Confirm each page links to your target domain using an approved anchor, not a wrong or generic one.

Match rate at a glance

Get an overall match rate plus per-URL matched, wrong, and skipped counts so you can grade a package instantly.

Deep scan for hidden links

Optionally check sidebars, widgets, load-more content, and links embedded in page data that basic checks miss.

FAQ

What does the anchor text checker verify?

For each backlink URL it checks the HTTP status and whether the page links to your target domain using one of your required anchor texts, marking it matched, wrong, or skipped.

What is the difference between status-only and deep scan?

Status-only just checks that each URL is reachable. Deep scan also inspects sidebars, widgets, load-more sections, and links embedded in page data, at a small speed cost.

What does match rate mean?

Match rate is the share of checkable URLs whose anchor matched one of your required anchors — a quick score for how well a backlink package was delivered.

Can I export the anchor report?

Yes. Export a CSV with HTTP status, matched result, match source, first match, target anchors, anchors found, required anchors, and any error per URL.
