Overview
Majestic SEO is a specialist backlink analysis platform known for two proprietary metrics: Trust Flow (TF) and Citation Flow (CF), which measure link quality and link volume separately. A high TF/CF ratio indicates a site earns high-quality links relative to total volume — a low ratio suggests link spam. Majestic has one of the largest link databases available, updated daily. It is used primarily for link building prospecting, competitive backlink research, and spam link identification during disavow campaigns. The Clique Hunter tool identifies sites that link to multiple competitors simultaneously — a powerful prospecting signal for B2B link outreach. Plans start at $49.99/month.

Why it matters for B2B
B2B agencies running link building campaigns need to quickly qualify potential link sources. Majestic's Trust Flow / Citation Flow ratio provides a fast-scan quality signal — prospects with high TF and low CF have naturally earned links from high-quality sites, while sites with high CF and low TF are link-spammy. This metric pair enables data-driven link prospecting decisions without reviewing each site manually.
