Quick overview
This workflow automates bulk backlink count analysis using Make, Google Sheets, and the DataForSEO Bulk Backlinks endpoint. Instead of checking backlink counts one domain at a time, you can analyze up to 1000 targets in a single request and have the results automatically mapped back to your spreadsheet. This provides a fast and scalable way to monitor backlink volume across large domain lists.
Who it’s built for
This workflow is designed for SEO specialists, link-building teams, and digital agencies that need quick backlink counts for competitive analysis, link evaluation, or recurring SEO reporting.
Workflow breakdown
- The workflow is triggered manually whenever you want to run a backlink count analysis.
- It reads the list of target domains from a Google Sheet.
- The scenario groups all domains into a single batch request and sends it to the DataForSEO Bulk Backlinks endpoint.
- It retrieves the total number of live backlinks for each target domain, including all active referring links regardless of attribute type.
- Finally, the backlink counts are mapped back to the corresponding rows in Google Sheets for easy analysis and reporting.
