⚙️ How it works

You give the Actor a domain and a country database. It fires five parallel Semrush lookups — backlinks summary, traffic trend, top organic keywords, organic competitors and referring domains — aggregates everything into a single structured record, and pushes it to the Apify dataset.

Coverage

47 country databases: 🇺🇸 US · 🇬🇧 UK · 🇨🇦 CA · 🇦🇺 AU · 🇫🇷 FR · 🇩🇪 DE · 🇮🇹 IT · 🇪🇸 ES · 🇧🇷 BR · 🇳🇱 NL · 🇯🇵 JP · 🇮🇳 IN · 🇸🇬 SG · 🇲🇽 MX · 🇦🇪 AE · and 32 more.
