"An exception to "too good to be true"
What do you like best about Ahrefs?

Ahrefs is (almost) a complete SEO Tools Suitcase. And the only tool that does such an awesome job at everything the tools got to offer, e.g.: keyword research, site explorer, content explorer, and many many more.

What do you dislike about Ahrefs?

A lack of a content optimisation solution - they have everything needed to build an amazing content optimisation tool that would smash the competition (if done right).

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

See what is working on the internet business-wise and what is not. Literally. The mainstream has not caught on yet, but if you learn Ahrefs you become an expert: - Big-data analyst - Project manager - Market researcher - Content writer - or even a Digital Marketing Guru if that is your thing... Ahrefs enables you to wear many different shoes and does it better than any College/Uni programme in the related fields ever could (or will).

We have been using Ahref for building backlinks and doing keyword research for our blog and I am extremely happy with the performance of this tool.

This tool is bit costly otherwise it is a great tool

"Complex SEO tool that brings results"
What do you like best about Ahrefs?

I love how Ahrefs makes SEO so intuitive and simple with both their product and their blog tips. We use it to expand our keyword research, find new topics to cover, analyze our competition, keep track of our rankings, and manage our links profile (inbound & outbound). It's hard for me to pick only one best thing since Ahrefs is so sophisticated, user-friendly and great. There are some things to improve, but no tool is perfect.

What do you dislike about Ahrefs?

Ahrefs doesn't always recognize when a link is "nofollowed" or not, for example from Medium.com (which by default, all links are nofollowed). Not all suggested searches from Google appear in Ahrefs' Keyword Explorer - either because the searches are new and the team didn't manage to fetch them yet, who knows. It's sad that they no longer offer a free plan, so you'll need to do a 7-day trial which doesn't offer you enough time to learn it. I'm an older user, since the days when Ahrefs could have been used for free.

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

We were using several tools for our day-to-day activities in SEO and content marketing. With Ahrefs, we have an all-in-one machine that gives us a lot of insights to boost our visibility in Google and uncover our competitors' trails.

The best part about this tool is the crawling ability of Ahref bot. They crawl trillions of pages to fetch data. Ranking analysis, keyword volume, etc. are very useful data points that we get from Ahrefs.

The pricing of the tool is too high. The pricing is so high that not anyone and everyone can afford the tool.

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

We solve a lot of problems using Ahrefs. The best thing is solving the off-page activities of your website. It is truly an amazing too for the off page SEO monitoring

"Very extensive tool that provides the big picture of any domain"
What do you like best about Ahrefs?

I like the scope of extensive research. Once I find a seed keyword, I can dig inside the whole business. When it comes to talking about spying on the competitors, Ahrefs is very good and provides data points very effectively and efficiently. The database is also updated very promptly and the live index is very accurate.

What do you dislike about Ahrefs?

The main struggle for me is advertising research. It would be better if it could have that PPC research option as well.

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

I can analyze, create insights and then further make decisions based on the data provided by the Ahrefs tool. It helps in figuring out what is working for the competitor's website and what may work for my client's website.
