        You guys should add google console to your system so you guys can see the backlinks we have disavowed and act on reducing our spam score just like how semrush allows  connection to google console!

          Hi!

          Thanks for reaching out to us!

          So, Moz's Spam Score is the percentage of sites with similar features we've found to be penalized or banned by Google (it's not based on the spam score of the sites linking to you). To improve this score I would recommend reading our guide which explains the 27 factors used to make up this score. You can then look at your site and investigate areas you would like to improve on your site:
          https://moz.com/help/link-explorer/link-building/spam-score

          Disavowing a link doesn't take it away so they will still appear as backlinks to your site within the Moz tools. The fact that Google disregards them in relation to your site does not take them off the sites they are on, so best practice is to approach the webmaster first and request the link be removed. If you get no response then disavow.

          A high spam score does not affect your actual Google Ranking - it is purely a Moz Metric. Our Spam score updates quarterly, the last update of which was a couple of weeks or so ago.

          I would recommend reaching out to help@moz.com with any further questions,

          Best of luck, and let me know if I can help with anything else!
