Finding Dead, Broken, or Incorrect Links with Markup AI

Every broken link is a broken promise. Link Integrity is Markup AI’s first Accuracy Agent, and it verifies every link in your content before you hit publish — and finds the ones that broke after you did.

In this walkthrough, I show you what the agent checks and how it works inside a real document.

Link Integrity checks five areas:

Link relevance — does the destination match what you’re writing about?
Domain decay — has the site been sold, parked, or turned into spam?
Dead destinations — does the URL return a 404 or a soft redirect?
URL text mismatch — does a visible URL match the link underneath it?
Anchor text mismatch — does the clickable text describe the right source?

Pages move. Domains change hands. Partners reorganize their sites. Marketing teams lose visitors to dead links, and documentation teams lose users who abandon a help article and open a support ticket instead. The hard part was never fixing broken links — it was finding them.

Link Integrity is available in your account today under Accuracy Agents, part of Markup AI’s Content Guardian Agents℠.
