How can I check my website’s backlinks on Google Search Console?

To access your backlinks on Google Search Console, follow these steps:

1. Go to Google Search Console: https://search.google.com/search-console/about.

3. Select the website for which you want to check backlinks.
4. Click on the Links tab in the left-hand menu.
