Python tool automates SEO link-building research via Google Custom Search API

Original: I Built a Python Tool to Automate Link-Building Research (Using the Google Custom Search API)

Short summary

Built a Python tool that automates SEO link-building research using Google's Custom Search API, replacing manual search-operator queries and tab-sprawl. The script runs templated searches by link type, filters noise using domain checks and snippet matching, and outputs a prioritized CSV. Reduces monthly link research from hours to 15 minutes of focused review while maintaining control over scoring logic.

  • Automates link opportunity discovery via Google Custom Search API instead of manual scraping
  • Filters results by domain type, snippet keywords, and relevance scoring heuristics
  • Reduces monthly link research from hours to ~15 minutes of focused review

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.

Is this a good recommendation for you?
