Backlink Checker with Google Sheets Logging (Seo)
Description:
This workflow helps you analyze top backlinks using Semrush API and logs the results directly into Google Sheets for easy SEO tracking and reporting. It integrates the Top Backlink Checker API from RapidAPI, providing in-depth backlink analysis, and combines that with Google Sheets for efficient data storage and tracking.
Node-by-Node Explanation:
1. On form submission
Captures the website URL submitted by the user through a form. This node triggers the workflow when the form is filled with a website URL. The Top Backlink Checker API (via RapidAPI) is used to check backlinks after this step.
2. Check webTraffic
Sends a request to the Top Backlink Checker API to gather traffic data for the submitted website. This includes important metrics like visits, bounce rate, and more, which will later be stored in Google Sheets for analysis.
3. Reformat output
Extracts and re-formats the traffic data received from the Top Backlink Checker API. This node cleans and structures the raw data for easier processing, ensuring it is usable for later stages in the workflow.
4. Reformat
Processes the backlink data received from the Top Backlink Checker API (RapidAPI). The data is reformatted and structured to be added to Google Sheets for storage, making it easier to analyze.
5. Backlink overview
Appends the re-formatted backlink overview data into a Google Sheets document. This stores important backlink information like source URLs, anchor texts, and more, making it available for later analysis and reporting.
6. Backlinks
Appends detailed backlink data, including target URLs, anchors, and internal/external links, into Google Sheets. This helps track individual backlinks, their attributes, and page scores, allowing for deeper SEO analysis and reporting.
