Behind the app

Hi, I'm Sebastian. I built SEODesktop for marketers, not developers.

DataForSEO is a phenomenal data source, but raw endpoints and API docs shouldn't stand between a marketer and an answer. I wanted something my non-technical friends could actually use: paste an API key once, pick a metric, and get a chart, a table or a clean CSV export — no wrangling required.

When I'm not shipping code from my desk in Weikersheim, a small town in southern Germany, you'll find me training, out running, or being out-hiked by Abby — my golden retriever and extremely judgmental code reviewer. She hasn't caught a regression yet, but she's excellent at reminding me to close the laptop.

“If you've ever stared at a DataForSEO response and wished it was just a dashboard — that's exactly what I built.”

Ready when you are

Ditch the SEO subscription.

Download SEODesktop, bring your own DataForSEO API key, and pay only for the queries you run.
