An inbound link is a hyperlink from an external website pointing to a page on your site — also called a backlink.

Each high-quality inbound link is a vote of confidence that boosts the linked page's authority and broader domain trust.

Focus on growing the count and diversity of inbound referring domains — the single strongest predictor of ranking growth in most B2B SaaS niches.
