"Excellent Support, But Search Volume Data Needs Improvement"
What do you like best about DataForSEO?

Customer service is top notch,.

offer a rich amount of data.

Massive database

I mostly interested in keywords and backlink Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DataForSEO?

Data quality is not great, specifically search volume data. In dfs the search volume is generally average value of what you see in keywords planner. However the keyword planner estimated search volume is not for the keyword only but all keywords and phrases that has the keyword. Redukcja usually much higher search volume reported than it actually is compared to semrush or ahrefs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"API Suite for Data-Driven SEO"
What do you like best about DataForSEO?

✅ Extensive API Portfolio

SERP, Keyword Data, Backlinks, On-Page, Reviews, Merchant Listings, Amazon, App Store and more: the breadth covers every data point I normally have to stitch together from multiple vendors.

✅ Granular, Real-Time Data at Scale

Queue and Live endpoints let me choose between cost-efficient bulk pulls and millisecond responses for time-sensitive dashboards. The 2-billion-keyword database plus historical SERP snapshots remove the need for my own crawl infrastructure.

✅ Clear, JSON-first Design & Versioned Docs

Every endpoint follows the same pagination, cost, and status schema. Consistent webhooks simplify asynchronous harvesting in serverless functions. Migration from v2 to v3 was friction-free.

✅ Pay-as-You-Go Credit Model

I can forecast spend precisely: each call lists its credit weight in the doc, and unused credits roll over. Compared with fixed-seat SEO SaaS, this trims overhead on low-volume months.

✅ AI Summary Endpoint

Summarizes SERPs into entity lists, sentiment, and answer boxes.

✅ Review Monitoring Coverage

Unified Reviews API pulls ratings from Google, Amazon, Trustpilot, Tripadvisor, Google Play, App Store

✅ Flexible Infrastructure Tiers

Live, Standard Queue, and Slow Queue tiers let me optimize between freshness and price for rank tracking vs. historical research workloads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

🟧 UI Lag on Heavy Reports

The web GUI stalls when loading >100K task results; I often resort to direct API pulls for large exports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Avoid DataForSEO if you value your money"
What do you like best about DataForSEO?

I genuinely can not think of anything postivie to say about DataForSEO... other than I suppose it was easy to pay them... but then they took my money... so... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DataForSEO?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Easy, Low Cost Path to SEO Data"
What do you like best about DataForSEO?

DataForSEO is very easy to use and has more data available than most users would need. I use it daily to retrieve data for clients to keep them informed where their name appears. Its incredible value for money and significantly cheaper than using one of the more famous SEO services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DataForSEO?

Its another app to learn and uses API's to pull the data. However, if you are not familiar with using APIs then just use Make (Fpornmally Integromat) with some pre-built templates Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is incredible. I am so happy and thankful I found it.

"Valuable API's for SEO to do Analysis"

"It's good when it works"
What do you like best about DataForSEO?

It can get me data from various sources and of different types and variety. The API interface works fantastic as well as and can generate the required data into a webhook for easy access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DataForSEO?

When you ask for a large dataset (and that is more than 10 or so) it charges you the credits but then doesn't deliver them to the webhook. It would have been more fair to stagger the delivery when you charge your user for the data rather than not delivering at all! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
