Pricing (pay per event)

You pay only for the data you get.

Event	Charged when
Domain overview	One domain analyzed in one country that has search data
Ranked keyword	Each keyword row delivered
Competitor	Each competitor row delivered
Backlink profile	Backlink summary for one domain (all countries)
Bulk domain	Bulk mode: each domain checked in one country
Bulk batch	Bulk mode: once per batch of up to 1,000 domains
Actor start	Once per run (Apify standard)

Never charged

• Invalid or duplicate inputs.
• Provider errors.
• Report-mode domains with no search data (no_data). In bulk mode, every checked domain is charged, because "no traffic" is itself the answer.
• Backlinks for domains that have no search data in any selected country. These are skipped.

Set a maximum charge per run and the Actor plans its work to stay under it. Overviews come first, then keywords, competitors and backlinks. Anything it can't afford is reported as not_processed.

Apify free plan: each run is limited to:

• 2 domains, 20 keywords, 5 competitors and 1 country (no backlinks) in report mode
• 25 domains (no authority) in bulk mode

Good to know

• Traffic is search traffic, not visits. organicTraffic estimates monthly clicks from Google organic search in the selected country. It's calculated from rankings × search volume × click-through rate. It isn't total website visits like Similarweb's, and it won't match Google Analytics. Use it to compare domains with each other.
• Domain rank is DataForSEO Rank (0–100). It's computed from the backlink graph much like Ahrefs DR or Moz DA, but it's a different scale. Don't mix them.
• Ranked keywords cover Google's top 100 results, up to 5,000 per domain per country, ordered by estimated traffic by default.
  • keywordsMatchingFilters shows how many exist in total.
  • Overview counts are always for the whole domain, even when you filter the keyword list.
• Competitors are domains that rank for the same keywords, ordered by shared keywords. Giant sites are excluded by default. A domain's own subdomains may appear in the list.
• Freshness. Rankings are refreshed continuously, and keyword search volumes monthly. Each keyword row carries serpUpdated.
• No worldwide mode. Data is per country. Add several countries to compare markets.
• Lost keywords come from the provider's history and are only included when it reports them.

Use from AI agents (MCP)

AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor can run this Actor through Apify's MCP server (https://mcp.apify.com). The agent can look up the Actor, read its input schema, run it and read the results. Runs use your own Apify account and are charged at the prices on this page.

• Actor name: vncntlabs/domain-seo-data
• Server URL with only this tool: https://mcp.apify.com?tools=vncntlabs/domain-seo-data. The default https://mcp.apify.com also works; the agent can then search Apify Store and call the Actor by name.
• Claude (desktop app or claude.ai): Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector, paste the server URL, then sign in to Apify.
• ChatGPT: turn on Developer mode, then Settings > Apps & Connectors > Create, paste the server URL and choose OAuth.
• Cursor: run /add-plugin apify in Cursor chat and connect the Apify MCP server under Cursor Settings > Tools & MCPs, or add the server to mcp.json:

{ "mcpServers": { "apify": { "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=vncntlabs/domain-seo-data" } } }

Example prompt: "Use the Apify Actor vncntlabs/domain-seo-data to get the estimated organic traffic, top 50 ranking keywords and main competitors of example.com in the US."

To cap the cost of an agent's run, it can pass maxTotalChargeUsd in the run options.

FAQ

Is this a Semrush or Ahrefs scraper? No. It doesn't log in to or scrape any SEO tool. The data comes from DataForSEO's own licensed databases, which agencies and SEO tools use. That's why it doesn't break or need your account.

Why does a domain show no_data? The domain doesn't rank in Google's top 100 for any tracked keyword in that country. This is common for new, tiny or non-English sites; try their main country. You're not charged in report mode.

Why don't numbers match Semrush or Ahrefs? Every SEO database estimates traffic and backlinks differently, from different keyword sets and crawls. Use one source consistently when comparing domains.
