What you can automate

What does the SE Ranking - SEO Project Make integration do?

The SE Ranking - SEO Project Make integration lets a Make scenario, the automation you build as a chain of modules, work inside your SE Ranking projects: add or update keywords, create and read reports, restart audits and search keyword, backlink and competitor data. It connects once with your SE Ranking API key.

Keywords that track themselves. Your content team logs target terms in another tool; Add a Keyword to a Project sends each one into the right SE Ranking project, and Update a Keyword in a Project keeps it current when the brief changes.

Numbers where people read them. Get a Summary Statistics and Get a Backlink Statistics pull a project's figures so a later module can post them in the channel or sheet your managers already open. Each module run on one item is an operation, the unit Make counts on your plan.

Audits on demand. Restart an Audit relaunches a site audit after a release, and Get an Audit Report reads the result back into the scenario.

What Make does not give you here: a trigger. SE Ranking cannot start a scenario by itself, so the flow opens on a schedule or on another app. The official doc also warns it is AI-generated and asks you to verify important points with SE Ranking. For costs, see Make pricing; to weigh the two builders, read n8n vs Make, since the same app often has an n8n node too. Teams that want help can look at Make training.

Connect

How do you connect SE Ranking - SEO Project to Make?

  1. 01

    Generate your API key

    In your SE Ranking account, open Settings > API, click Generate API Key and copy the key shown on screen. Make will ask for it in a moment, and the account needs to be active.

  2. 02

    Add a module and create the connection

    In Make, add any SE Ranking SEO Project module to your scenario and click Create a connection. A connection is your SE Ranking account linked to Make once; every module of the app reuses it.

  3. 03

    Name it and paste the key

    The Connection name field is optional, but a clear name helps when several projects share a workspace. Paste the API key you copied, or follow the on-screen instructions, and save.

First scenario

Your first scenario with SE Ranking - SEO Project

GoalWhen your team logs a new keyword idea in another app, Make adds it to your SE Ranking project.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + to add the first module. The canvas stays empty until you pick one.

  2. 02

    Start on the app that holds your ideas

    SE Ranking has no trigger, so the first module belongs to another app: the form or sheet where your team drops keyword ideas. Search that app, pick its module and connect it.

  3. 03

    Add the SE Ranking module

    Click the + on the right of the first module, search SE Ranking SEO Project, choose Add a Keyword to a Project and select the connection you created earlier.

  4. 04

    Map the keyword

    Fill the module fields. Make lists what it can read once the connection exists, and you map the keyword from the bundle, the item the previous module passed along.

  5. 05

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once to run the scenario a single time, then open the bundles each module received and check the keyword now sits in your SE Ranking project.

  6. 06

    Schedule and switch on

    Set the Scheduling clock on the first module, every 15 minutes by default, then switch the scenario on. From then on, new ideas flow in without anyone copying them.

Modules

What can SE Ranking - SEO Project do in Make?

SE Ranking - SEO Project gives you 30 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

SE Ranking - SEO Project1

Add a Keyword

Action

In MakeAdds a new keyword.

You get a new keyword recorded in SE Ranking without opening the tool, straight from whatever data your scenario already carries.

When to use it
a writer submits a topic through a form and the term should exist in SE Ranking right away.
Watch out
when the term must land inside a specific project, Add a Keyword to a Project is the module built for that job.
SE Ranking - SEO Project2

Add a Keyword to a Project

Action

In MakeAdds a keyword to a project.

This one places a keyword inside a specific SE Ranking project, so rankings start being tracked where your client or site lives.

When to use it
an account manager approves a keyword list in a shared sheet and each approved row should join the client's project.
Watch out
run it with Run once on a single row first, because a search module upstream can hand it many bundles at once.
SE Ranking - SEO Project3

Add a Volume Check Request

Action

In MakeAdds a volume check request.

Asking SE Ranking for search volume becomes a scenario step: the module files a volume check request you can read later.

When to use it
a batch of fresh keyword ideas arrives and you want their volume before anyone writes a brief.
Watch out
it only creates the request; Get a Request or List Requests is how the scenario comes back for the answer.
SE Ranking - SEO Project4

Create a Report

Action

In MakeCreates a new report.

A new SE Ranking report appears on command, so reporting starts from an event in your stack instead of a manual click.

When to use it
a deal closes in your CRM and the new client needs its first report set up in SE Ranking.
Watch out
note which report it created, since Get a Report, Update a Report and Delete a Report all have to be told which one to touch.
SE Ranking - SEO Project5

Delete a Keyword form a Project

Action

In MakeDeletes a keyword from a project.

Removing a keyword from a project keeps your tracking lean and stops you paying attention to terms nobody targets anymore.

When to use it
a product page is retired and its keywords should leave the project with it.
Watch out
the scenario has no undo for a deletion, so place a filter before it and check the target with Run once.
SE Ranking - SEO Project6

Delete a Report

Action

In MakeDeletes an existing report.

With this module an outdated SE Ranking report disappears as part of a cleanup flow rather than by hand, one report per bundle.

When to use it
a client contract ends and the reports built for it should go too.
Watch out
feed it the exact report ID, ideally from Search Reports, and test on a report you can spare, since a deleted report does not come back.
SE Ranking - SEO Project7

Delete a Request

Action

In MakeDeletes an existing request.

Old requests leave your SE Ranking account when this module runs, which keeps List Requests readable for the rest of the team.

When to use it
a volume check has been read and stored elsewhere, and the request itself is no longer useful.
Watch out
read the result with Get a Request before deleting it, otherwise the scenario throws away the answer it asked for.
SE Ranking - SEO Project8

Get a Backlink Statistics

Action

In MakeRetrieves a backlink statistics.

Backlink figures for a project come back into the scenario as data, ready to be posted, stored or compared by the next module.

When to use it
a link-building sprint wraps up and the team lead wants the backlink numbers in the sprint recap.
Watch out
it reads statistics, not the list of links; List Backlink Reports is the module that returns reports one bundle at a time.
SE Ranking - SEO Project9

Get a History Audit

Action

In MakeRetrieves a history audit.

Past audit results become available to the scenario, so you can compare today's site health with an earlier run.

When to use it
a redesign goes live and you want the previous audit next to the new one in your change log.
Watch out
pair it with Get an Audit Report for the current state; this module looks backward, not at the latest run.
SE Ranking - SEO Project10

Get an Audit Report

Action

In MakeRetrieves an audit report.

An audit report of your site lands in the scenario, which lets a later module send its findings to the people who fix them.

When to use it
after Restart an Audit finishes, a developer channel should receive the report without anyone exporting it.
Watch out
check with Run once that the report you read is the one from the new audit before switching the scenario on.
SE Ranking - SEO Project11

Get a Report

Action

In MakeRetrieves an existing report.

One existing report comes back in full, handy when a scenario already knows which report it needs and wants its content.

When to use it
a client asks for an update in your help desk and the matching report should be attached to the reply.
Watch out
it needs the report ID; if you only know a name, run Search Reports first and pass the ID along.
SE Ranking - SEO Project12

Get a Request

Action

In MakeRetrieves an existing request.

This returns one request you filed earlier, such as a volume check, so the scenario can read what SE Ranking answered.

When to use it
a first scenario added a volume check request and a second one collects the result for your keyword sheet.
Watch out
store the request ID when you create the request, because this module cannot guess which one you mean.
SE Ranking - SEO Project13

Get a Summary Statistics

Action

In MakeRetrieves a project’s summary statistics.

A project's summary statistics arrive as one bundle, the quickest way to turn SE Ranking data into a short status update.

When to use it
a marketing manager wants a project snapshot posted to the team chat whenever the scenario runs.
Watch out
it reads one project per run; to cover several, start with a list of projects from another source and let each bundle call it.
SE Ranking - SEO Project14

Make an API Call

Action

In MakePerforms an arbitrary authorized API call.

When no listed module covers your need, this one calls any endpoint of the SE Ranking API with the connection you already set up.

When to use it
a developer on your team knows the exact endpoint that the 30 modules do not expose.
Watch out
you write the request yourself, so keep the SE Ranking API documentation open and test with Run once before switching the scenario on.
SE Ranking - SEO Project15

Restart an Audit

Action

In MakeRestarts an audit.

A fresh site audit starts from the scenario, so a technical check follows the event that could have broken something.

When to use it
your deployment tool reports a release and the site should be audited again after it.
Watch out
the module restarts the audit, it does not return the findings; add Get an Audit Report in a later step or a separate scenario.
SE Ranking - SEO Project16

Update a Keyword in a Project

Action

In MakeUpdates a keyword in a project.

A keyword already tracked in a project gets changed in place, which keeps SE Ranking aligned with what the content plan says now.

When to use it
an editor edits the target term of an article in the planning sheet and the project should follow.
Watch out
the keyword must already be in the project; for a new one, use Add a Keyword to a Project instead.
SE Ranking - SEO Project17

Update a Report

Action

In MakeUpdates an existing report.

An existing report is modified without rebuilding it, so its settings follow changes decided elsewhere.

When to use it
a client renames a brand or adds a market in your CRM and the report should reflect it.
Watch out
map only the fields you mean to change, and check the result with Get a Report during Run once.
SE Ranking - SEO Project18

List Anchor Reports

Search

In MakeLists all anchor reports.

Every anchor report comes out as separate bundles, which makes anchor text reviews something a scenario can sort, filter or store.

When to use it
a link auditor keeps an anchor inventory in a spreadsheet and wants it refreshed from SE Ranking.
Watch out
each bundle runs the next modules once, so a long list uses many operations; filter early.
SE Ranking - SEO Project19

List Backlink Reports

Search

In MakeLists all backlink reports.

All backlink reports are returned one by one, so each can feed a row, a message or a follow-up check.

When to use it
an agency collects backlink reports for every client into one shared tracker.
Watch out
a search can return zero reports; add a filter so the rest of the scenario does not fail on an empty run.
SE Ranking - SEO Project20

List Domain Reports

Search

In MakeLists all domain reports.

Domain reports stream out as bundles, giving your scenario a clean way to loop over every domain you analyze in SE Ranking.

When to use it
a prospecting team compares several domains before a pitch and wants their reports in one table.
Watch out
an aggregator after this module groups the bundles back into one message if you want a single summary.
SE Ranking - SEO Project21

List Keywords Data

Search

In MakeLists all keywords data.

Keyword data from SE Ranking flows out item by item, so a spreadsheet or database can mirror what the tool holds.

When to use it
an analyst builds dashboards outside SE Ranking and needs the keyword data copied there.
Watch out
every item becomes an operation in the modules that follow, so watch the count on the Free plan.
SE Ranking - SEO Project22

List Requests

Search

In MakeLists all requests.

Your requests, such as volume checks, come back as a list, which helps a scenario find the ones waiting to be read.

When to use it
a collector scenario gathers every request added during a keyword research project.
Watch out
pair it with Get a Request for details, and with Delete a Request only once results are stored.
SE Ranking - SEO Project23

List Statuses and Results

Search

In MakeLists verification statuses or results.

Verification statuses or their results come back as bundles, so a scenario can tell what is still pending from what is done.

When to use it
a keyword check was requested earlier and the scenario should only continue once results exist.
Watch out
expect several bundles, and add a filter on the status so only finished checks move on.
SE Ranking - SEO Project24

List TOP-10 Results (Competitors)

Search

In MakeLists TOP-10 results for the keyword

For a keyword, you receive the top results as bundles, which is how a scenario learns who ranks next to you.

When to use it
a content strategist prepares a brief and wants the competing pages listed in the document.
Watch out
it works keyword by keyword, so the operations add up quickly when a search module feeds it a long list.
SE Ranking - SEO Project25

List User Queries

Search

In MakeLists all user queries.

The queries saved in your account are returned as a list, useful to sync or audit what the team is tracking.

When to use it
a new SEO joins and you want their onboarding sheet filled with the current queries.
Watch out
this reads account-level queries; for a site's own keyword list, List Website Keywords is the closer match.
SE Ranking - SEO Project26

List Website Keywords

Search

In MakeLists all website keywords.

All keywords attached to a website come out one by one, the starting point for any bulk review or export.

When to use it
before a migration, a consultant copies every tracked keyword of the site into a backup table.
Watch out
chaining it into Update a Keyword in a Project changes every keyword it returns, so test on a small site first.
SE Ranking - SEO Project27

Search Keyword Statistics

Search

In MakeSearches for keyword statistics.

Keyword statistics you search for come back as bundles, so the scenario pulls just the figures it needs instead of the whole project.

When to use it
a sales call is coming up and you need the stats of a handful of terms, not the whole project.
Watch out
no result is a normal outcome of a search; plan a filter so empty answers do not break the flow.
SE Ranking - SEO Project28

Search Popular Google Queries

Search

In MakeSearches for popular google queries.

Popular Google queries around a topic come back to the scenario, a quick source of fresh ideas for your editorial calendar.

When to use it
a copywriter starts a new cluster and wants related queries dropped into the planning board.
Watch out
send the results to a review step first; pushing them straight into Add a Keyword to a Project floods the project.
SE Ranking - SEO Project29

Search Reports

Search

In MakeSearches for reports or lists them all.

This finds reports by your criteria or lists all of them, the easy way to get the report ID other modules ask for.

When to use it
a scenario must update the report of one client and only knows the client's name.
Watch out
a broad search returns every report; narrow it or add a filter before Update a Report or Delete a Report.
SE Ranking - SEO Project30

Search SEO Potentials

Search

In MakeSearches for SEO potentials or lists them all.

SEO potentials surface as bundles, so the opportunities SE Ranking spots can reach the people who plan content.

When to use it
a growth lead wants new opportunities turned into tasks in the team's project tool.
Watch out
without search criteria it lists them all; add a filter or an aggregator so the task tool does not receive a flood of items.

FAQ

SE Ranking - SEO Project and Make: common questions

01Is the SE Ranking - SEO Project Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side. SE Ranking - SEO Project is a standard app, available from the Free plan. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, a minimum of 15 minutes between scheduled runs, up to 5 minutes per execution, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans drop the interval to 1 minute and remove the cap on active scenarios. You still need an active SE Ranking account with API access; its own pricing is set by SE Ranking, not by Make.
02What do you need to connect SE Ranking - SEO Project to Make?
An active SE Ranking account and an API key. In SE Ranking, open Settings, then API, click Generate API Key and copy the key. In Make, add any module of the app, click Create a connection, give it a name if you like and paste the key. That single connection is then reused by all 30 modules, so you set it up once per account rather than once per scenario or module.
03Can SE Ranking - SEO Project start a Make scenario in real time?
No. The app has no trigger module, scheduled or instant, so SE Ranking cannot start a scenario by itself. You start the flow another way: with the Scheduling clock on the first module, every 15 minutes by default, which is also the Free plan's minimum (paid plans go down to 1 minute), or with a trigger from another app, such as the form or sheet where your team collects keyword ideas. The SE Ranking modules then run as the next steps.
04What if an SE Ranking - SEO Project module is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. It calls any endpoint of the SE Ranking API with the same connection, so an operation the 30 listed modules do not cover is still reachable, provided you know the endpoint and write the request. Also note that the official Make doc for this app says it is AI-generated from SE Ranking documentation and may contain mistakes, so check important behavior with SE Ranking before relying on it in production.
05Should you use Make or n8n for SE Ranking - SEO Project?
It depends on where your other automations already run. This page covers Make, where the app offers 30 modules plus Make an API Call and needs only an API key. The same app often has an n8n node as well, so check whether it exists and covers the operations you need before choosing. The honest criteria are the modules each tool exposes for SE Ranking and the builder your team already knows, not a general ranking.
