Use Toolmu’s backlink-monthly-summary-dataforseo Tool to review one website over a date range. Accept a website address, full URL or domain. Parse a provided URL with a URL parser, take its hostname, remove the scheme, path, query and fragment, and remove only a leading www. prefix; preserve other subdomains. Accept clear start and end dates or an unambiguous named period, convert them to YYYY-MM-DD, and never invent a missing year or ambiguous boundary. Ask in ordinary language if the website or either date is missing or unclear. Start must be on or after 2019-01-30; end must be on or after start and no later than today. Pass one domain string of 3–253 characters plus the two dates. Reuse the existing Toolmu connection, authorization and agreed budget; if setup is needed, follow https://toolmu.com/SKILL.md. Check current Tool details and cost within the agreed budget before calling. Explain the available monthly records, target-domain score and separate backlink, page, domain, main-domain, IP and subnet counts. Nofollow source counts mean at least one nofollow link, not exclusive source groups. Partial endpoint months become full calendar-month buckets labelled with the last day; item dates are supplier UTC stored-data timestamps, not exact link events or monthly sums. Preserve zero, null and missing months; supplier zero can reflect missing data. Do not infer a complete current month, current live link state, complete web coverage, Google position or SEO gains. Grouping is fixed to month; there are no native daily/weekly, subdomain or rank-scale controls.

Task:
Compare links to [website link] from [January 2025] to [March 2025]. Show how many links were found each month and how many pages and websites they came from. Note months with no information. Results may include all of the first or last month, even if dates begin or end mid-month.

Compare monthly backlink metrics for a domain

You receive

Receive available monthly summary records from DataForSEO's backlink index for the requested domain and date range. Each record can report backlinks, referring pages, domains, main domains, IP addresses and subnets, with nofollow counts and a target-domain score. Use these separate measures to compare the recorded link profile across returned months.

Start with your task

Compare links to [website link] from [January 2025] to [March 2025]. Show how many links were found each month and how many pages and websites they came from. Note months with no information. Results may include all of the first or last month, even if dates begin or end mid-month.

What to know

Grouping is fixed to calendar months. Partial start or end months expand to whole-month buckets labelled with the month's last day; this does not establish a count captured exactly at month-end, a monthly sum or an average. Counts describe the record date rather than links added during the month. Zero can mean the supplier has no data, and missing values remain unknown. Records do not establish complete web coverage, current-month completeness or SEO gains; individual links and new/lost-link events are not returned.

Result schema

No fixed output contract is available. Field types reflect saved result evidence; individual responses can differ.

Result schema
Field / Path	Type	Meaning
Reported domain`monthlySummary.target`	`string`	The domain used for the summary. The supplier includes subdomains by default; this Tool has no subdomain switch.
Reported range start`monthlySummary.date_from`	`string`	Start date reported for the requested interval, distinct from the labels used for its calendar-month buckets.
Reported range end`monthlySummary.date_to`	`string`	End date reported for the requested interval. It does not prove the data were freshly collected through that day.
Monthly grouping`monthlySummary.group_range`	`string`	Returned value month. Grouping is fixed to calendar months rather than a selectable frequency.
Returned monthly records`monthlySummary.items_count`	`number`	Number of monthly summary records delivered, not a count of backlinks or referring sources.
Monthly summary records`monthlySummary.items`	`array`	Available supplier-index summaries for the requested months. Partial endpoint months expand to whole-month buckets; reported metrics belong to each record date. Zero, null and absent records must remain distinct.
Stored-data time`monthlySummary.items[].date`	`string`	Supplier UTC timestamp for stored data. Monthly buckets use last-day-of-month labels; this is not an exact link-event time, monthly sum or Tool execution time.
Target domain score`monthlySummary.items[].rank`	`number`	Supplier modeled rank for the target domain at the record date, on the default 0–1000 scale. It is not a Google result position or individual-link score.
Backlink count`monthlySummary.items[].backlinks`	`number`	Supplier-reported backlink count for the record date, rather than links added during the month.
Nofollow backlink count`monthlySummary.items[].backlinks_nofollow`	`number`	Reported number of nofollow backlinks for the record date.
Referring page count`monthlySummary.items[].referring_pages`	`number`	Reported number of pages linking to the target for the record date, a different unit from backlinks.
Pages with nofollow links`monthlySummary.items[].referring_pages_nofollow`	`number`	Reported number of referring pages with at least one nofollow link to the target. Such pages may also contain other follow links.
Referring domain count`monthlySummary.items[].referring_domains`	`number`	Reported referring-domain count for the record date, with subdomains counted as separate domains.
Domains with nofollow links`monthlySummary.items[].referring_domains_nofollow`	`number`	Reported referring domains with at least one nofollow link to the target, rather than exclusively nofollow domains.
Referring main-domain count`monthlySummary.items[].referring_main_domains`	`number`	Reported main-domain count for the record date, distinct from counting subdomains separately.
Main domains with nofollow links`monthlySummary.items[].referring_main_domains_nofollow`	`number`	Reported main domains with at least one nofollow link to the target; other follow links may also be present.
Referring IP count`monthlySummary.items[].referring_ips`	`number`	Reported number of referring IP addresses for the record date, rather than a visitor or company count.
Referring subnet count`monthlySummary.items[].referring_subnets`	`number`	Reported number of referring subnetworks for the record date, a separate source unit from pages and domains.

Questions about this tool.

Which inputs and dates do I need?

What if my range starts or ends partway through a month?

Why do backlink and referring-source counts differ?

Are nofollow sources a separate, exclusive group?

What does the date on a monthly record mean?

Does zero mean the website had no backlinks?

What does the domain score tell me?
