"Ahrefs is the Must Needed Tool for any SEO Professional"
What do you like best about Ahrefs?

Ahrefs is such a tool; you just can't ignore it in 2022! If you are serious about SEO and your website growth, you have to use this. The amazing features I like most are: 1. Organic Search Data: Ahrefs provides almost accurate organic search traffic data of any websites. 2. Backlink Profile: It has most recent backlink data of any website. 3. Website Audit: One of the cool feature I love. Anyone can audit his website on Ahrefs. 4. Keyword Explorer: I can find similar keywords from a topic with difficulty, traffic volume based on the country. 5. Organic Keywords: Agrefs shows organic keywords list based on the different countries. 6. Broken Keywords: It can find the broken links in a website, so that I can fixed it before google penaltize my website. I just mentioned some of the greatest feature of Ahrefs. But it has many other features which can help a Digital Marketer and SEO professional.

What do you dislike about Ahrefs?

Oh, the thing I hate about Ahrefs is its monthly subscription fee! I know it offers a wide range of exclusive features but at the same time, if the company reduces the pricing plans, then it will be easier to use for an individual marketer.

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

I can analyze my competitor's organic data, backlink profile, organic keywords, which helps me plan my SEO strategy. Also Ahrefs helps me to find backlink sources very easily. I don't need another tool when I have Ahrefs!

It solves the problem of analyzing my competition and the link profile of my clients. This tool helps me a lot to make analysis and to be able to implement strategies that help me to obtain good results.
