Overview
The Batch Analysis block analyzes up to 100 domains or URLs in a single request. For each target it returns Domain Rating, URL Rating, organic traffic, organic keywords, and referring domains. Use it to compare a list of competitors or prospects in one step.Configuration
Target Domains / URLs (Required)
A list of domains or URLs to analyze. Enter one per line or separate them with commas. Maximum 100 targets. Example:{{step_1.output}}
Each target is analyzed in
domain mode over HTTPS.Output Format
How the block returns data to the next step. Default: Text (Human Readable) Options:
Choose
JSON (Raw) when a later step compares fields across targets. Choose Text when feeding results into an LLM block.
Error Handling
Define what happens if the block fails to retrieve data. Options:- Terminate workflow: Stop execution immediately.
- Continue execution: Proceed to the next step despite the error.
- Retry: Run the block again until it succeeds, up to the Number of retries you choose (1–5). If every retry fails, the workflow stops at this block.
Output Data
When Output Format isJSON (Raw), the block returns a list of results, one per target. Each item includes:
url
The analyzed target. Example:"hubspot.com"
domain_rating
Ahrefs Domain Rating (0–100) of the target. Example:91
url_rating
Ahrefs URL Rating (0–100) of the specific URL. Example:74
org_traffic
Estimated monthly organic traffic. Example:28500000
org_keywords
Number of organic keywords the target ranks for. Example:4200000
refdomains
Number of referring domains pointing to the target. Example:185000
When Output Format is Text, these same fields are returned as readable markdown instead of JSON.
Sample Output
Best Practices
- Keep the list under 100 targets per run, the Ahrefs maximum.
- Use
JSON (Raw)to compare metrics across targets in a Google Sheets or code step. - Build the target list dynamically with placeholders from an earlier step.
- Compare Domain Rating and organic traffic together to rank competitors.
- Run on a schedule to track competitor metrics over time.
Common Use Cases
What’s Next
- Check a single domain in Domain Rating
- See individual links in URL Backlinks
- See referring sites in URL Referring Domains
- Find dead links in URL Broken Backlinks
- Build target lists with the Loop Block
- Save data in Google Sheets
- Analyze results with the LLM Block
- Reference step outputs with Variable Referencing
