Majestic
Majestic is a backlink-focused platform that emphasizes link quality, trust, and topical relevance. Unlike all-in-one SEO tools, Majestic is purpose-built for understanding how links contribute to authority.
Key Majestic Metrics Explained
- Trust Flow: A measure of link quality based on proximity to trusted sources
- Citation Flow: A measure of link quantity and influence
- Topical Trust Flow: Relevance of links by subject area
These metrics help assess link credibility, not popularity.
Why SEOs Still Use Majestic
Majestic is often used to:
- Evaluate link trustworthiness
- Identify spam-heavy link profiles
- Analyze topical alignment
It excels where quality assessment is more important than volume.
Limitations to Consider
- Smaller overall index than some competitors
- Less frequent UI updates
- Limited keyword context
Majestic is best used alongside other tools.
