The Semrush backlinks data in Plerdy audits

SEO is a complex long-term strategy that consists of many bits and pieces, from backlinks to content. Together with Semrush, an efficient backlink explorer, we’ve built an integration that solves the puzzle and completes Plerdy SEO Checker with valuable backlinks insights.

Getting access to this backlink auditing data is easy. If you already have a Semrush account, you need to connect it with Plerdy. If you haven’t usedSemrush before, you’ll need to register while connecting Semrush to Plerdy.

All Plerdy users can access the backlink auditing integration (regardless of your plan). However, your Semrush account plan will decide the limits of backlinks data availability.
