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.
