We're SEO Link Monitor, a SaaS platform that helps SEO professionals, agencies, and businesses monitor the status of their backlinks after they've been acquired. In SEO, building backlinks requires significant time, effort, and investment. However, one of the biggest challenges is that backlinks are not permanent. A backlink can be removed, changed from dofollow to nofollow, redirected to a different page, or disappear entirely if the referring page is deleted or deindexed. These changes often happen without the website owner's knowledge, leaving SEO teams with inaccurate backlink reports and campaigns that quietly lose value over time. Today, many agencies and businesses still rely on manual backlink checks or spreadsheets to verify whether backlinks remain active. This process is slow, repetitive, difficult to scale, and prone to human error, especially when managing hundreds or thousands of backlinks across multiple websites and clients. SEO Link Monitor automates this entire workflow. The platform continuously monitors backlinks and detects important changes, including removed links, changes to link attributes, destination URL updates, anchor text modifications, redirects, broken pages, and referring page indexing status. Instead of manually reviewing every backlink, users receive accurate insights through a centralized dashboard, allowing them to identify issues quickly and take action before those changes impact their SEO performance. Our goal is to make backlink monitoring as essential and reliable as backlink acquisition itself. We believe SEO professionals shouldn't have to guess whether the links they've invested in are still delivering value. By providing continuous visibility into backlink health, SEO Link Monitor helps agencies and businesses protect their link-building investment, improve campaign transparency, and make more informed SEO decisions.

Digital Gateway builds an AI platform for employee onboarding, training, and competency assessment that captures how a company's best people actually work. And turns it into a system that ramps everyone else to the same level. Every growing company carries the same hidden risk: real performance lives in a few star employees' heads. When they leave, slow down, or get pulled into training juniors, the whole operation feels it. New hires take months to become useful, the same mistakes repeat, and the "how" never gets written down. Our platform fixes that. We extract the knowledge, skills, and decisions of a top performer and package them into a structured role map — a guided learning track of modules, materials, and hands-on assignments. New and existing employees move through the track, get assessed against real competencies, and are signed off by a mentor when they can actually do the job. Managers see, in one view, exactly what each person has mastered and where the gaps are. The result: new hires reach top-performer level in weeks instead of months, onboarding stops depending on your busiest people, and critical know-how becomes an asset the company owns — not something that walks out the door. Under the hood it's an assessment-and-training engine: define the role, capture the standard, assess against it, close the gaps. We start by embedding with a client to map their key role, then the platform scales that standard across the whole team — and every new role map makes the product smarter. We're a small, remote-first team based in Vancouver, building for companies that hire fast and can't afford six-month ramp times. If you want to help put a real onboarding- and-assessment standard inside every growing company — and get in early while the platform is being built — this is your team.
