Dead Link Patrol for fluid power

Bulk URL status checker, applied to fluid power & hydraulics.

Hydraulic distributor landing pages break constantly: distributor adds a new SKU to the catalog, old inventory part number becomes a redirect, someone deletes a press-brake spec sheet. Dead Link Patrol catches them before they waste ad spend. Paste your current landing page URL list, and it returns which URLs return 404, which redirect, and which are clean — with full redirect-chain visibility, not just final status. For fluid power, this matters because a redirect from 'PN-HPU-150-spec-sheet' to a generic 'hydraulic-pumps' page will drop your Quality Score on the OEM side (engineers see they landed in the wrong place) but not visibly fail QS metrics until month-end reporting. Dead Link Patrol catches it immediately. The CSV export of broken URLs flows directly into your Audit checklist — when Audit surfaces 'you have 23 dead links', you have the exact list with HTTP codes. The integration with Audit means you can quantify the revenue exposure ('23 dead links generating 400 clicks/month = $300 wasted spend'). Recommendation: run Dead Link Patrol weekly on your active landing page set. Any URL returning 404 or a cross-domain redirect (e.g., to homepage) should be paused immediately in Google Ads. Redirect-chain issues (more than two hops) indicate likely quality-score penalties — work with the web team to shorten them. For distributor accounts, set a standing reminder: every time you add a new campaign, run Dead Link Patrol on the assigned landing pages before you launch.

About Dead Link Patrol

Paste a list, get back which URLs return 404, which redirect, and which are clean. Built specifically for catching dead landing pages before ad spend wastes on them — UTM tools never do this and account audits rarely find it in time.

About fluid power

Fluid power buyers split into two distinct tracks: OEM design engineers selecting components for new equipment, and MRO maintenance buyers replacing failed parts. Both speak in part numbers, pressure ratings, and ISO standards — but they convert on entirely different campaigns.
