mttr and Majestic
Majestic maps the links between sites, with Trust Flow and Citation Flow. mttr reads the pages those links point at, the way search engines and AI assistants do. One looks out at the links; the other looks at the pages.
Keep Majestic. Add mttr on top.
mttr is not a replacement for Majestic. It is a free layer that reads your pages the way search engines and AI assistants do.
What Majestic is best at
- A link index of its ownA Fresh index and a Historic one, with backlinks and referring domains for any site.
- Trust Flow and Citation FlowTwo scores for how many links a site has and how trustworthy they are.
- Topical Trust FlowThe subjects a site’s links come from.
What mttr adds on top
- Pages read as an AI crawler gets themThe words in the HTML before any script, whether robots.txt and the firewall let GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot in, and one address for each page.
- One rulebook, 44 rules in four stagesCan a machine reach the page, understand it, believe it and act on it. Every rule comes with its fix.
- Fixes ranked by what they are worthEach failing rule weighed by its stage and by how many pages miss it, so the first fix is the one that moves the most.
- Free, with nothing to installAny public site, the first 100 pages, read on mttr’s servers with no sign-up.

Questions
Is mttr a Majestic alternative?
No. mttr keeps no index of links between sites and has no Trust Flow or Citation Flow. It reads a site’s own pages and ranks what to fix on them, free.
Can I use mttr with Majestic?
Yes. Majestic shows which of your pages draw links; mttr shows what to fix on those pages so search engines and AI assistants can read them and trust them.
Does mttr check redirects?
Partly. mttr checks that a site’s own links go straight to the final address rather than through a redirect, and the free redirect checker follows any one address hop by hop.
Is mttr free?
Yes. Reading any public site is free, with no sign-up: the first 100 pages, a score, its place and the fixes worth the most. An email gets a key, and the key connects your agent.
