Pull bulk domain backlink profiles into Google Sheets with DataForSEO

Description

This workflow helps you retrieve backlink profile data for a large list of domains without running separate audits for each one.

On each manual run, the workflow reads your target domains from a Google Sheet and sends them as a batch request to the DataForSEO Bulk Pages Summary endpoint, which returns a comprehensive backlink overview for up to 1000 domains in a single call. For each domain, the workflow retrieves key backlink metrics, including the total number of backlinks, referring domains, domain rank, spam score, and more. After that, the results are mapped directly back to your spreadsheet.

The result is a fast, scalable backlink analysis system that lets you analyze entire domain lists in seconds and keep your data organized without manual exports.

Who's it for

This workflow is perfect for SEO experts, link-building specialists, and digital agencies who need to quickly and at scale audit and compare backlink profiles across multiple domains.

What it does
