The problem it solves

Checking a site's backlinks usually means logging into a separate SEO tool, running a report, and copying numbers into your own file. Doing this for every client or prospect eats up time you don't have.

Who it fits

SEO consultants and agencies who need quick backlink data for clients or prospects.

How it works

  1. You submit a website address through a simple form
  2. The system requests backlink data for that site
  3. It pulls overview numbers like total backlinks and referring domains
  4. It pulls the individual backlink details, including source pages and anchor text
  5. Both sets of results are saved automatically into Google Sheets
What you get

Backlink numbers logged for every client

You get a spreadsheet of backlink counts, referring domains, and source pages for any site you want to check.

What you get

A Google Sheets record of a website's backlink overview and individual backlink details.

What you need

A Semrush Backlink Checker API subscription on RapidAPI, and a Google Sheets account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
