"The quintessential SEO tool"
What do you like best about Ahrefs?

Ahrefs is an invaluable tool for any company looking to build traction with their content in organic search. Their software is the most comprehensive available - by far - for link analysis, competitor research and seo health, and their keyword research features have come a long way as well.

What do you dislike about Ahrefs?

Their keyword research tool is improving but it is still not as built out as competitors like semrush. I would like to see more frequent updates on keyword ranking and volume.

What problems is Ahrefs solving and how is that benefiting you?

ahrefs gives us a complete and instant look at competitor link profiles so that we can reverse engineer strategies and implement them ourselves to find success.

Their data is very accurate compared to Semrush and other competitors. They keep improving as well.

The pricing options are a bit limited and expensive for even the lowest tier plan.

What problems is Ahrefs solving and how is that benefiting you?

SEO and PPC competitor analytics as well as comprehensive site auditing. The biggest perk of this software is the content explorer, which indexes all the content in the web along with helpful metrics.

"A Boon for Digital Marketers and Market Analysts"
What do you like best about Ahrefs?

Ahrefs is a one-stop destination for all digital marketer and market trend analyst needs. It has impressive, affordable, and competitive prices yet offers a bundle of features to its audience. It offers a lot of features with an abundance of data to help better analysis such as the Site Explorer tool to see where a site stands in its overall performance, the Keyword Explorer tool to find trending low competition keywords to work on, the Site Audit feature to audit how effective the efforts are and to identify gaps, and the Rank Tracker tool to see how the site is performing in comparison to competitors.

What do you dislike about Ahrefs?

There isn't too much to dislike. Some important features are missing and need to be there as soon as possible. One of them is the Local SEO tool. There aren't just online businesses but offline too. If one wants to see what competition is like and what direction to head to increase footfall in a local business Ahrefs does not provide any data for that. It does not offer the facility to check trends for a certain keyword in a particular location in a country. These are some features that are lacking in Ahrefs.

What problems is Ahrefs solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is like oxygen for market analysts and one core digital marketer can't just live without it. It helps me find the best low-competitive yet high-volume trending keywords for the content idea I have. It helps me audit my website to measure the success rate of the efforts that I put to work and in gap identification too. It helps me keep an eye on my competitors b analyzing their data and comparing that to mine. It also helps me write SEO-friendly content which is again a most important feature for each in the industry.

"The Most Powerful Research Tool you can find!"
What do you like best about Ahrefs?

Ahrefs is the most powerful tool for all marketers. It is a goldmine that keeps on giving. I find the Keyword Research Tool very helpful as you can enter one seed keyword and it will give you all the related keywords. You can then filter the results according to word length, KD, etc. Their Content Explorer is amazing as well. Enter one keyword and it will give you topics around that keyword. With Ahrefs, I can never run out of topics and keywords. I also use it for competitor analysis, finding out competitor's keywords, backlinking strategy, etc. Being a marketer, Ahrefs is THE most important tool you need to succeed.

What do you dislike about Ahrefs?

They have been improving a lot and have also introduced new versions of existing tools like Keyword Explorer 2.0. This shows that they are already in the right direction and I don't think there is anything I currently dislike.

What problems is Ahrefs solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being a Marketer, I need to come up with topics that the content team can write about, research keywords that get us ahead of the competition, etc. With the help of Ahrefs, I am able to find new topics within minutes and then research long-tail keywords around that topic pretty fast. This gets us extra traffic and makes us better than the competition.
