Examples

Analyze a competitor domain

Discover what keywords your competitor ranks for to identify opportunities:

• domain: competitor.com
• location_name: United States
• language_name: English
• limit: 500

Connect the output to an LLM node with instructions like:

Analyze these competitor keywords and identify:
1. High-volume keywords where they rank in positions 4-20 (opportunity zone)
2. Keywords grouped by topic cluster
3. Content gaps we could target

Track your own domain rankings

Monitor your site’s keyword performance over time:

• domain: mysite.com
• location_name: France
• language_name: French
• ignore_synonyms: true
• limit: 200

Use a Filter List node to isolate keywords in specific position ranges or above a traffic threshold for focused reporting.

Best practices

• Start with lower limits when exploring a new domain. Use limit: 100 first to check the data, then increase to 500 or 1000 once you confirm the results are relevant.
• Use location targeting to get accurate data for your target market. Keyword volumes and positions vary significantly by country.
• Combine with an LLM node to automatically categorize and analyze the keyword data instead of reviewing raw lists manually.
• Filter synonyms when you need a cleaner dataset. Set ignore_synonyms to "true" to remove redundant keyword variations.

Common issues

Empty results for new or low-traffic domains

DataForSEO may return no keywords for domains that are very new, have very low traffic, or are not yet indexed. Verify the domain is live and has been indexed by search engines before analyzing.

High limit causes slow response

Setting the limit to 1000 on domains with extensive keyword profiles can increase response time. Start with a lower limit (100-200) and increase only if you need the full dataset.
