Trust Flow(TF)
SEO and AI visibility
SEO and AI visibility
Trust Flow is a Majestic score (0–100) estimating backlink quality based on distance from a set of trusted websites.
Where Citation Flow counts, Trust Flow weighs. A handful of authoritative, relevant links moves TF more than hundreds of directory links.
Topical Trust Flow is more useful than the total: links from your field weigh more than links from random strong domains.
Tip
Use TF to compare link profiles rather than chase it as a target. That matches what the score actually is: a tool estimate.
