OpenSEO Self-Hosted Keyword Research and SEO Analysis Platform

OpenSEO is an open-source, self-hostable SEO platform that provides keyword research, domain insights, backlink analysis, and site audits. It serves as a pay-as-you-go alternative to Semrush and Ahrefs, powered by DataForSEO APIs with no subscription required.

Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:

• Docker is recommended for getting started. It's super easy to get up and running once you install Docker.
• Install Docker: https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/
• docker compose pull
• docker compose up -d

Requirements and caveats from upstream:

• Docker Self Hosting
• Backlinks requires one more step beyond the API key: you also need DataForSEO Backlinks enabled on your account (trial or paid subscription), then confirm access from the Backlinks page in OpenSEO.
• Docker self-hosting: .env

Basic usage or getting-started notes:

• DataForSEO API: pay-as-you-go based on usage.

• cp .env.example .env

• Set DATAFORSEO_API_KEY in .env
