Frequently
Asked Questions:
What is Brand24?
Brand24 is a social listening and online monitoring tool. It shows where and how people talk about your brand — on blogs, forums, news sites, podcasts, and social media. You get real-time alerts anytime someone mentions your brand, product, or even a competitor.
In general, it helps you understand how your brand is seen online. You can track sentiment, measure your digital presence, and identify opportunities or threats early. It's perfect for PR teams, marketers, SEO pros, and customer support. Our tool uses AI-powered solutions to group mentions into topics, detect anomalies, and offer insights at scale. You don't just get raw data — you get patterns and trends that actually make sense.
And yes, Brand24 can also work as a free backlink checker. It helps you spot brand mentions that don't link to your site. Then, you can turn them into new dofollow links with just a little outreach.
Why are backlinks so important?
Backlinks — especially those with relevant link text — are one of the top indicators Google uses to evaluate your site's authority. They're a key factor in domain authority, search engine rankings, and online credibility. A good backlink analysis tool will help you understand what Google values. External backlinks from trusted websites show search engines that your content is credible and worth ranking.
Brand24 helps you catch the possibility of external links pointing to your brand so you can act fast. Instead of offering raw link type or page authority data, we equip you with contact-ready insights. Our platform supports outreach and link-building campaigns. It's the perfect addition to your existing backlink checker tools. Brand24 complements them by showing where those opportunities begin — at the mention stage.
How can I track referring domains and unlinked mentions with Brand24?
While Brand24 doesn't provide a classic backlink database, it tracks brand mentions across over 25 million sources. This helps you identify referring domains that mention your brand but don't link to your site. It's a powerful way to spot missed opportunities and transform them into valuable incoming links for SEO growth. Increasing the number of backlinks from relevant and high-authority sites will strengthen your website's SEO performance. Brand24 helps you spot those opportunities before they slip away.
Can I use Brand24 to detect spammy links or check backlink quality?
Brand24 doesn't crawl for broken links or directly show nofollow links, lost links, or spammy links. Instead, it offers smart filtering by influence score, source type, and sentiment — helping you avoid low-quality mentions. Combined with key SEO metrics from other tools, Brand24's real-time mention tracking will help you assess backlink quality. This way, you can focus on meaningful link opportunities, not the harmful ones.
Can Brand24 help me check my competitor's backlinks?
Yes — while it doesn't offer a classic backlink checker view, Brand24 lets you track mentions of competitors. You can see how often they're referenced and uncover potential competitors' links. Use this intel to explore their top-ranking pages and spot backlink gaps you can fill in your strategy.
And, of course, you can apply the same strategy to analyze your website's backlinks. Brand24 will help you identify which mentions lead to links and which still need outreach.
