DataForSEO Reviews 22

DO NOT USE VISIT DATAFORSEO.COM ON PC! They showing virus captcha verification by fishing way, captcha request me run a code on powershell and someone and some people connect my PC, It was a moment of absentmindedness on my part. I don’t know they what get from me but DATAFORSEO.COM They committed a criminal offense or caused it to be committed. They committed a criminal offense or caused it to be committed.

This is perhaps the best API I stumbled upon in 2026.

So many facets and use cases. This product is not just an API, not just a mean to an end...

I'm 100% sure you never tried something like it before.

I’ve found DataForSEO API really solid if you’re building anything SEO-related at scale. You get reliable, real-time data across SERPs, keywords, backlinks and a lot more without having to mess around with your own scraping setup. I usually pair it with Claude or Cursor to turn that data into actual workflows (like weekly update on rankings, backlink alerts) pretty quickly. You can actually build an Ahrefs-like platform using their API, saving you loads every month. Overall, it feels more like a data backbone than just another SEO tool.

I had been using AHrefs for a while, but although it is very capable it is also very big and expensive. I came across DataForSEO via a question on ChatGPT. It is a very different concept, instead of being engulfed with a mass of all you can eat data, it is more like a fine dining a la carte experience. OK, it helps if you like APIs ... but once you get past that it allows you grab search engine rankings in *exactly* the way that suits you.

Insanely fast onboarding and time to value. Plug it into Claude Code and you have an SEO consultant in a box!

We have developed an dedicated web app to monitor websites keywords positions. Api have very clear doc and we can monitor usage and errors in DataForSEO panel.

I have evaluated several SERP APIs available to individual developers, and DataForSEO stands out as the best in terms of cost-performance value. The pricing is reasonable when compared to leading SERP API services, offering a substantial amount of data with reliable stability. Additionally, their customer support responds promptly and provides effective assistance.
Recently, Google has restricted search parameters to 10 results per page. DataForSEO addressed this change swiftly and effectively, minimizing disruptions for clients, whereas many other SERP API providers have yet to implement any meaningful updates.
The primary drawback is that their API operates asynchronously, requiring a wait for results. However, this is entirely reasonable given the competitive pricing they offer.

Warning, incomplete files and you can find better for free.

Here are the errors :

Non-existent or deregistered businesses
Invalid or impossible SIREN/SIRET numbers
Inconsistent or incorrect postal addresses
Incorrect or randomized business activity categories
Invalid or non-existent postal addresses
Generic phones or phones unrelated to the company
Gross errors that prove poorly controlled automated extraction

These errors justify a refund (and not a correction)

They reveal a structural problem, not a few isolated errors.

A one-off correction CANNOT fix an entire file sold as:
“verified”
“updated”
“reliable”
“premium quality”
The law protects the buyer of a digital product that does not conform to the description.

So even if the seller writes “no refund,” the law takes precedence over theire terms and conditions.

Absolutely unbelieveable support. There is an expert in chat for as long as U need support 24/7. Real people not AI!

Customer Service is Top Notch. They are very patient to answer your queries even its not related to them. Especially if you get a chance to chat with Vladyslava, she is very professional and knowledgeable in solving automation related queries. 10/10 for Customer Support. I highly recommend DataforSEO

Very happy with the service and Team. Anna, Daria and everyone have been a pleasure to work with, very helpful and patient! Ready to assist anyway they can!

This API is seriously amazing! Been using it for around a year now, and I've been finding so many use-cases for multiple projects of mine, their documentation is neat and apparently they do good updates from time to time. Really recommend this.

Just awesome, cheap, and great customer service!

The service is really great, the API works perfect for my project. I can get data at a much lower cost than Saas services for SEO.
Support is top level, I have been lucky enough to be helped by YEVHEN who got my script running on sunday!
Keep up the good work and thank you.

I regret ever signing up for DataForSEO’s SERP screenshot service. I paid good money expecting accurate, clean captures of search results, but what I got was a mess of pop-ups/overlays. It’s almost laughable... except I wasted a ton of time and money on it. Worse, their so-called “support” offered no real solutions besides generic excuses, leaving me to patch together my own fixes. If you value your time and sanity, steer clear. This service feels more like an unfinished experiment than a professional solution. Definitely not recommended.
I am extremely frustrated with DataForSEO and its lack of service. If this company shut down completely, I wouldn't be disappointed... in fact, it might actually be a benefit to others. I've spent hundreds of dollars with DataForSEO, and honestly, I would have been better off burning that money for warmth.

I was looking for a non-traditional way to do keyword research by utilizing A.I. I came across DataForSeo and was intrigued by their API capabilities and various integrations. I like the idea of using an API for keyword research since it gives me more control than what a traditional SEO app offers and at a fraction of the cost. Long story short, I was able to brainstorm some ideas with customer support (specific shoutout to Yevhen) who helped me realize my goal and troubleshoot issues. So far I am impressed with the software and customer support and look forward to even more advancements with this company. I highly recommend checking them out.

The tool is brilliant. And the service is even better. They reply really quickly, and communicate well. Yevhen in particular is the best customer support rep....his patience is next level.

I think this service is incredible. Very much worth the money. The customer support is fantastic. This company allows me to get SEO data quick and cost effectively using automation tools.

THIS IS THE COMPANY FOR SEO DATA THEY HAVE THE BEST FREAKING CUSTOMER SUPPORT TEAM. MY BOY YEVHEN HAS BEEN WORKING WITH US NON STOP FOR A WEEK, and he's been such a great help. our company is going to change the world with his help.

For the past two years I've been using DataForSEO for all of my company's internal tooling that requires some external SEO source- keyword research, historical traffic, link analysis, etc. The data is clean, quick, cost effective, the API is straightforward to use, and their customer support is super responsive.
