Backlink Opportunity Finder

Find public pages that may be relevant to a value-led link-building pitch. Give the Actor a topic, choose the prospect types you want, and receive one scored Google organic-search prospect per dataset row.

Use this when you need a reviewable shortlist of resource pages, guest-post guidelines, listicles, directories, podcast guest pages, or expert-roundup calls. Do not use it to infer that a publisher will place a link, to buy/exchange links, or to automate unsolicited outreach.

Outputs

Each dataset row contains a public prospect URL, normalized domain, Google result title/snippet, exact search footprint, result position, opportunity type, and a transparent 0–100 relevance heuristic. OUTPUT supplies a compact terminal outcome; RUN_SUMMARY adds provider, filtering, and billing diagnostics.

Results come from current Google organic results via SerpApi. A search snippet is discovery evidence, not a crawl of the page and not a verification that the page accepts submissions.

Inputs

Input	Purpose
keywords	Up to ten topics, such as project management software.
opportunityTypes	Resource pages, guest-post guidelines, listicles, directories, podcasts, and/or expert roundups.
targetDomain, excludeDomains	Domains removed before any result is saved or charged.
countryCode, languageCode	Google result localization.
maxResultsPerKeyword, maxPagesPerQuery	Coverage and billable-result caps.
minimumRelevanceScore	Drops weak heuristic matches before saving.

Example input:

{
  "keywords": ["project management software"],
  "targetDomain": "example.com",
  "opportunityTypes": ["resource_page", "guest_post", "listicle"],
  "excludeDomains": ["competitor.example"],
  "countryCode": "US",
  "languageCode": "en",
  "maxResultsPerKeyword": 25,
  "minimumRelevanceScore": 35
}

Pricing

Pay per event + platform usage is enabled. One validated prospect saved to the default dataset is $0.006; Actor-start and Apify platform usage are additional. The Actor announces the maximum possible dataset-event cost before it searches and never charges excluded, duplicate, low-score, invalid, or unpersisted rows.

Limitations and responsible use

• The relevance score is a text-and-position heuristic, not a domain authority, traffic, spam, editorial-quality, or placement score.
• The Actor does not access private pages, discover email addresses, send messages, generate link-exchange offers, or guarantee a backlink.
• Search results vary by location, language, freshness, index coverage, and provider availability.
• Review every prospect and pitch only genuinely useful, contextually relevant material. Follow applicable publisher rules and Google’s spam policies; this Actor is for discovering public prospects, not manipulating rankings.

Outcomes

• COMPLETE: all requested searches completed and qualifying prospects were saved.
• PARTIAL: useful prospects were saved but some search or storage operations failed.
• VALID_EMPTY: the searches ran successfully but returned no qualifying prospects.
• INVALID_INPUT: the request can be corrected by changing input.
• CONFIG_ERROR: the owner-managed SerpApi secret is unavailable.
• UPSTREAM_FAILED: every required search-provider request failed and no useful rows were saved.
