The number of websites linking to a SaaS company tells you a lot. It signals credibility, market presence, and organic reach. A company with thousands of referring domains has earned attention across the web. One with a rapidly growing backlink profile is on the rise.

SaaS Browser now lets you filter by referring domains count and growth rate, giving you a powerful lens into the SEO authority of any SaaS company in our database.

What You Can Filter

Referring Domains (Count) — Set a minimum and maximum number of unique domains linking to a SaaS company. A high count indicates established web presence and authority.

Referring Domains Growth — Filter by month-over-month percentage change. Positive growth means a company is gaining backlinks and visibility. Combine this with other filters to spot rising stars before everyone else does.

Why This Matters

For Investors: Referring domain growth is a leading indicator of market traction. A company gaining backlinks rapidly is getting noticed — by journalists, bloggers, partners, and customers. It's a signal that often precedes revenue growth, making it a useful metric during early-stage due diligence.

For Marketers and SEO Professionals: Find companies with strong backlink profiles for partnership, guest posting, or link-building opportunities. Alternatively, filter for companies with declining referring domains to spot market gaps or struggling competitors.

For Researchers: Referring domains provide an objective, third-party measure of a company's web presence. Unlike self-reported metrics, backlinks are earned. Use this filter to benchmark companies within a category or track how authority shifts over time.

For Founders: Understand where you stand relative to competitors. Filter your category and sort by referring domains to see who dominates in SEO authority and who's climbing fast.
