I used to wonder why backlink counts were different across tools until I found this breakdown: https://crowdo.net/blog/how-ahrefs-counts-links-referring-domains. It explains how Ahrefs counts backlinks and referring domains, including why totals may not match what Google Search Console shows. Helped me stop chasing numbers and understand what really matters in link profiles.

There are many kinds of tools available, but I would like to suggest to you that the "Ahrefs" tool is also one of the best tools where you can check backlinks.
