DataForSEO backlink report template

Five pages: Start here, Overview, Competitors, Referring domains and Top pages. Overview shows referring domains, backlinks and new and lost referring domains by day. Competitors puts your profile next to up to 3 competitor domains. Referring domains lists your top referring domains and anchors, and Top pages shows your most-linked pages.

Add DataForSEO as a data source in Datapipe with your DataForSEO API login and password. Create this dashboard, enter your domain and up to 3 competitor domains, and authorize Google Sheets. Then save your private Data Studio copy. Datapipe refreshes the same workbook.

Yes. Datapipe reads the DataForSEO Backlinks API with your own account, so every request is charged to your DataForSEO balance. Each domain takes three requests (current summary, daily totals, and daily new and lost links), plus three for your top referring domains, anchors and pages. One domain with three competitors makes 15 requests per refresh. Setup shows the count before you create the dashboard. The dashboard refreshes weekly; you can change the schedule or refresh it sooner.

The last 90 days of daily totals for each domain, read from DataForSEO’s history. The dashboard opens on the last 28 days and compares new and lost referring domains with the 28 days before.

Live links in DataForSEO’s index that point to your domain or its subdomains. Links between pages of your own site are left out. A referring domain is a website with at least one live link to you.

Backlinks and referring domains are totals on each day, not new links, so adding days together would count the same links many times. The charts show each day’s total. New and lost links are counted per day and do add up across the selected dates.

Both are DataForSEO’s own measures on a 0–100 scale. Rank estimates the strength of a domain or page from its links; higher is stronger. Spam score estimates how likely the links are to be spam; lower is better. Datapipe keeps both as DataForSEO reports them.

No. It keeps your top 100 referring domains by DataForSEO rank, and your top 100 anchors and 100 pages by backlinks. The daily totals and the competitor comparison still cover every live link.

The template, editable Data Studio copy, PDF and CSV are free. Datapipe plans apply when you connect DataForSEO and refresh your own data, and DataForSEO charges its requests to your DataForSEO balance.
