DataForSEO integration
SERP and keyword data at volume, on your own account. The DataForSEO integration suits teams tracking hundreds of terms across markets, where a per-seat SEO tool stops being the sensible way to buy data.
What the DataForSEO integration is
DataForSEO sells search data by the call rather than by the seat. WriteWorks uses your own credentials, so the cost of a large research run is metered by DataForSEO and visible to you, and the data comes back into the same views as everything else.
For teams working across several markets or languages, this is usually the cheapest way to keep demand data current for a large tracked set, which is exactly what a serious AI visibility programme turns into after a quarter or two.
What you can do with it
Four questions the two data sets answer together that neither answers alone.
Volume and SERP data per country and language, so a brand running several markets does not have to reason about them from one set of numbers.
Per-call pricing keeps a set of hundreds or thousands of terms viable, which per-seat tools rarely do.
SERP data next to citation data shows whether an engine is quoting the page that ranks, or one the results page never rewarded.
Because calls are metered rather than seat-limited, refresh cadence becomes a budget decision you make, not a plan limit you accept.
How the DataForSEO integration works
About a minute to connect, and nothing to maintain afterwards.
Get your DataForSEO credentials
Create API credentials in your DataForSEO dashboard. Usage is billed to your account, so you keep control of spend.
Add them to WriteWorks
Open Settings, then Integrations, and choose DataForSEO. Enter the credentials, which are stored encrypted.
Choose markets and cadence
Set which countries and languages matter for this brand and how often the tracked set should refresh.
Read demand beside visibility
Volume, SERP position and AI citations arrive on the same rows, per market, so a gap in one country is not mistaken for a gap everywhere.
Who uses the DataForSEO integration
The same connection answers a different question depending on who is asking.
Keep demand data current across markets and languages without buying a seat in every one.
Meter data cost per client, and keep each brand's tracked set on its own budget.
Track a set far larger than a per-seat tool would allow, and keep the whole thing next to AI visibility.
A data bill that maps to what was actually run, rather than a licence renewed whether it was used or not.
You bring your own account. The DataForSEO integration authenticates with your own account at DataForSEO, on your own plan and your own quota. WriteWorks reads the data that account already has access to, and nothing else. Disconnect at any time and the stored credential is deleted.
