A: Dedicated SEO tools like Ahrefs & SEMrush give a meta picture of the links lost & gained. You have to sift through the backlinks to make sure that the “ones” you paid for or did link exchange with aren’t removed. It’s a waste of a exercise which should be automated.

Backlink checker mostly focuses on ensuring that the backlinks you paid and worked on are not removed. After all, you paid for them with money, time or effort. Whenever you create a backlink, add it to Backlink Checker to get notified if it is removed or edited & take necessary action proactively.
