Majestic surveys and maps the World Wide Web to create a massive Link Intelligence database, providing the backlink data that SEO and digital marketing professionals need to dominate their markets.
Majestic has been a core tool for digital marketers, agencies, and domain name traders for more than a decade, helping them understand the link profiles of their own and competitor websites.
Majestic Indices and Data
Majestic offers a Fresh Index of backlinks discovered in the last 120 days, updated daily, and a Historic Index that goes back to 2006, giving you as complete a backlink profile as possible.
The Fresh Index focuses on recent, up‑to‑date data, while the Historic Index provides over fifteen years of historical crawl data, making PRO plans ideal for agencies and in‑house SEOs working with large sites.
Key Metrics and Flow Metrics
Trust Flow is a metric that represents the quality of backlinks to URLs and websites; a page with a higher Trust Flow than Citation Flow is typically associated with high‑quality links.
Citation Flow reflects the quantity of links pointing to a given website, without distinguishing between high‑quality and low‑quality links, helping you identify sites with strong link signals.
Topical Trust Flow indicates a website’s position compared to the best sites in over 800 categories, measuring the page’s topical relevance and thematic authority.

Majestic is a powerful platform for monitoring link building, informing digital PR, and performing link prospecting, with a focus on “white hat” link‑building practices that prioritize authentic, win‑win relationships over paid or spammy links.
The Clique Hunter tool helps you find sites that link to your competitors but not to your site, which are ideal targets for outreach and relationship‑driven link building.
Majestic’s Pages report helps you identify your most linked‑to pages, prioritize content management, and maintain the authority of your top assets, as well as locate and fix 404 errors that may be wasting valuable referral traffic.

For enterprises, Majestic Analytics offers no‑hassle web‑scale data extracts and bespoke analysis, such as researching brand‑mention patterns or identifying domains that match specific topical and linguistic criteria.
