Connect your app to Semrush
Connect your Lovable app to Semrush to use its SEO data, like keyword research and domain analytics, directly within your deployed app. This lets your app show SEO metrics, track keywords, or build dashboards using your Semrush account information.
Anyone building a Lovable app that needs to display or work with SEO data from a Semrush account.
Do this, in order
- 1
Go to 'Connectors' in your Lovable workspace and select 'Semrush'.
This is where you manage all external connections for your apps.
- 2
Click 'Add connection'.
This starts the process of setting up a new link to Semrush.
- 3
Give your connection a unique name, like 'Semrush Marketing Data'.
This name helps you identify the connection within Lovable, especially if you have multiple.
- 4
Optionally, expand 'Advanced settings' to see what information Lovable will access from Semrush.
This shows you the specific types of data (like user identity, domain reports, backlinks) that Lovable needs permission to use.
- 5
Decide who in your workspace can use this connection; by default, it's private to you.
You can share the connection with specific team members or the entire workspace so others can use Semrush data in their projects.
- 6
Click 'Connect', then sign in to Semrush if asked, review the permissions, and click 'Allow'.
This authorizes Lovable to access your Semrush account and data according to the permissions shown.
Paste this into your project
Connect my app to Semrush so it can access keyword research, domain analytics, and backlink data. I want to build a dashboard that shows my domain's organic traffic, keyword rankings, and backlink growth over time.
Words decoded
- SEO
- Search Engine Optimization, which is about making your website show up higher in search results like Google.
- Domain Analytics
- Information and statistics about a website's performance, like how much traffic it gets or where its visitors come from.
- Backlink Data
- Information about links from other websites pointing to your website, which is important for SEO.
- OAuth-protected APIs
- A secure way for one service (Lovable) to get permission to access data from another service (Semrush) on your behalf, without needing your password.
- API units
- A measure of how much data or how many requests your app makes to Semrush. Your Semrush plan usually has a limit on these units.
Where people get stuck
- Connecting Semrush only makes its data available inside your deployed Lovable app; it doesn't automatically do SEO research for you while you're building your app.
- All requests made through this connection count against your Semrush API quotas and rate limits, not Lovable's.
- The connector cannot use older Semrush API methods that rely on an API key in the web address.
- The connector does not support different Semrush accounts for each end-user of your app; it uses one shared connection.
- The connector cannot receive real-time notifications or events from Semrush.
