New Stats from Data for SEO
When you're choosing who to work with, follower counts and a nicely-written pitch only tell you so much. So we've built something better into every website proposal on Get Blogged: real SEO intelligence, on tap, powered by DataForSEO — one of the industry's most trusted data providers. Here's what it means for the brands who hire here, and a note for the creators who'll benefit too.
Every website, scored before you spend
The moment a creator pitches a website for your campaign, we pull in independent SEO data on that site — so you're never evaluating a domain blind. Right there on the proposal, you'll see:
- Domain Rank — how authoritative the site is, at a glance.
- Referring domains — the breadth of the backlink profile behind it.
- Organic keywords — how many search terms the site actually ranks for.
- Estimated monthly search visits — the scale of its organic reach.
It's all clearly labelled Estimated · DataForSEO, so you always know exactly where the numbers come from. No guesswork, no taking a pitch at face value.
The best part: fit, not just size
A big website isn't automatically the right website. That's why the standout feature isn't a stat — it's a relevance score. We compare the search terms a creator's site genuinely ranks for against your specific campaign, and score the match out of 100.
So you can see, in seconds, whether a site's audience is actually searching for what you're promoting — not just whether the site is popular in general. Better still, you can sort your entire proposal pile by SEO fit and put the most relevant creators at the top. It turns a long list of applications into a ranked shortlist.
Part of Zero Fees
The full SEO Insight panel — the authority stats, the relevance score, and proposal sorting — is one of the perks of a Zero Fees brand subscription. Domain authority and spam signals remain visible to every brand, but if you want the complete picture on every collaboration, this is one more reason Zero Fees pays for itself.
Creators — this works for you too
If you've put real work into your website, this is your reward. Brands no longer judge you on follower counts and self-reported numbers alone — a genuinely strong site, with real domain authority, real organic traffic and rankings that match the brief, now shines automatically in front of the brands who matter. Quality content and honest SEO effort get seen.
And if you want to go one step further, connect Google Search Console to add first-party verified search stats on top of the estimated data — the strongest signal of all. Estimated data shows brands your site's potential; verified data proves it.
Why we invested in this
Great collaborations start with good matches, and good matches start with good data. Bringing DataForSEO into the platform means every brand can hire on evidence, and every creator who's built something worthwhile gets credit for it. That's better for everyone — and it's live across Get Blogged today.
