  • Very easy to use, with super helpful information icons that explain key definitions well.

  • The blog and other resources are honestly unmatched - the team are personal and really seek to help people.

What users like the least

  • It would be great if we could somehow automate parts of the reports, but I don't actually know if this would be a good thing.

  • Some tools are not very useful, for example, the Content Explorer provides a lot of irrelevant content examples

Accurate projection of our ranking

Overall rating
4.0

The team at Eezee Pte Ltd is helped by Ahref, which is a great software to check competitor’s keywords and backlink, enabling us to do minimum research and just copy or improve on our competitor’s work. We can also constantly look at our website ranking and see how well we have been doing for a month on month basis, SEO is a slow process and so Ahref software enables us to have an accurate projection of our ranking. We have tried other software such as SEMrush etc but I think accuracy is the most important for such a website. However, I wish that Ahref can remove the paid trial, there should be a free trial version as like before or free daily limited uses per account as we are a small company and paying a huge premium monthly is tough for us. I feel that as we grow, we are able to increase the volume of our competitive analysis and then pay for the monthly premium. It allows users to be sticky on the platform and generate more data for you to tap on.

This is by far my favorite SEO tool.

Overall rating
4.0

HeadsetPlus uses Ahref to check the backlinks and any problems with site. Ahrefs has the largest collection of backlink than any other SEO tools out there include MOZ Tools. Just recently Ahrefs added a content explorer tool that can analyze any webpage you have. The report for ranking has improved over the years. There are of course always rooms for improvement.

Ahrefs is a really powerful marketing and SEO tool

Overall rating
5.0

Textmagic has been using ahrefs for many years and the guys are doing a great job: they keep improving Ahrefs with every coming year and adding different cool, useful features. What is more, I enjoy reading their blog immensely, while it contains detailed tips and step-by-step guides, which any marketing specialist may implement any time.

This awesome tool comparing to other instruments is strong in both: either you are working with keywords or link building strategies. It has a great database and very friendly user-interface, which make the work really easy, quick and pleasant.

There are no cons for me at all. And even if there is a bug or doesn’t work something, you can expect it to be fixed really quickly.

My personal attitude is very positive about Ahrefs. It is a very powerful instrument, which constantly develops its features and very user-oriented. Moreover, its customer support is on the highest level: they are ready to explain and help you with any issue at any time of the day.

It is the most reliable tool

Overall rating
5.0

Ahrefs is the most reliable tool for checking a site's backlink profile. Other backlink trackers are all very slow to pick up on new backlinks compared to Ahrefs and often miss important links. The best way to use Ahrefs is to look through your competitor's backlinks and find ones that had link building work done (by themselves, a freelancer or an SEO agency). If you find one, it means your work has been cut out for you. All you need to do is imitate their backlinks (aim for the easy-to-get ones first). Ahrefs allows Bitfalls to find & acquire THOUSANDS of DOLLARS worth of backlinks for little or zero cost, and hence it should be in the toolkit of every SEO marketer.

Good and trustworthy

Overall rating
4.0

They have the biggest KW database on the market, constantly updating. They are really fast crawling the internet. The Content Explorer is a really good tool for content marketers. Their link crawling time is faster and their link data size is better than majestic and so much faster and better than moz.

It provides detailed link analysis

Overall rating
4.5

Deezon has been using Ahrefs since past 3 years. The best part about Ahrefs is its ability to provide detailed link analysis and option to dig deeper in competition links. They regularly answer queries and are very active on social media, especially with the video tutorials related to different techniques to perform link building. At times though, some links are not registered on time, like they are on other platforms plus Ahrefs need to up their link auditing game. But overall, I’ll rate it as my #1 go-to tool for link building, broken links, anchor text distribution and organic keyword movements.

Pros:

• Comprehensive link management

• Strategic competitor analysis

• Broken links & 404s to help in outreach

• Nice shortcuts to frequently used actions by SEO experts

• Frequent tutorial, guides and responsive support

Cons:

• Expensive for SEO companies starting out

• Sometimes fail to get the indexed link

• On-page is not a strong suite

• Browser extension(s) can be glitchy at times

It is the best SEO tool

Overall rating
5.0

They have the best data - most indexed crawler after Google I believe. The DR is a good reflection of what Google perceives to be your ranking. It is also incredibly useful for competitor research, finding backlink and content opportunities.

Con - Expensive

Overall experience - Intelligent Economist highly recommends to anyone who is serious about implementing a content marketing and SEO strategy.
