Automatically sync Semrush backlink data to a Google Sheets spreadsheet

This Latenode automation template allows users to automatically export backlink data from Semrush and save it into a Google Sheets spreadsheet.

By submitting a website URL through a simple form, the workflow fetches both high-level backlink metrics and detailed backlink records, then appends the data directly to a connected Google Sheet. This is an ideal solution for SEO professionals who want to streamline backlink audits and reporting without the need to manually export data from multiple tools.

How Latenode estimates time and cost

Latenode bills workflow runs in credits: 1 credit = 30 seconds of processing. Minimum charge per run depends on your plan. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.
