DataForSEO
VerifiedLive search, local ranking, backlink, keyword, competitor, and AI visibility data for agent workflows.
What you can do with DataForSEO
Turn live search datasets into bounded SEO jobs an agent can run, compare, and cite without integrating every DataForSEO endpoint separately.
Useful workflows
- Resolve a business listing, check one local keyword, and scan a bounded 3×3 or 5×5 Google Maps rank grid.
- Measure brand mentions, compare named competitors, find cited pages, and track new or lost AI visibility.
- Research keywords and backlinks with provider cost and observation boundaries preserved in the response.
Connection and permissions
Save the DataForSEO account login and password as one bundled provider connection; ToolRouter uses HTTP Basic authentication only for requested calls.
Pricing basis
DataForSEO meters endpoints by request and, for some datasets, returned rows; paid ToolRouter skills reserve a ceiling and settle against the provider-reported task cost when available.
Evidence limits
- ChatGPT mention observations currently cover the United States in English.
- LLM mention history begins on 1 August 2025.
- Maps positions are non-personalized provider observations, not a promise of what every user sees.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use DataForSEO with Claude or ChatGPT through MCP?
Yes. Connect ToolRouter over MCP, save one DataForSEO account connection, and call the published local-rank, AI-visibility, keyword, or backlink skills from the agent.
Does ToolRouter hide DataForSEO usage cost?
No. Paid skills show a ceiling before execution, and DataForSEO task responses are used to settle actual raw provider cost when the endpoint returns it.
Is this the same as a generic DataForSEO API wrapper?
No. Each tool is a bounded buyer job with explicit inputs, cost limits, evidence fields, missing states, and safe comparison logic rather than an unrestricted endpoint proxy.
