Review Summary

We Model Chic use Ahrefs. In my experience, Ahrefs is the most effective piece of SEO software. By analyzing the volume and difficulty of keywords, Ahrefs helps you better target your marketing efforts. You may use Ahrefs to keep tabs on where your keywords are placed in SERPs, keep an eye on the sites connecting to yours, and do an SEO audit of your site. In a nutshell, Ahrefs is a top-tier search engine optimization (SEO) tool. While there is a learning curve associated with using Ahrefs' comprehensive feature set, the tool's clear UI makes it much more user-friendly than competing advanced SEO solutions. A free Ahrefs Webmaster Tools (AWT) account is available for anybody interested in trying out the service. When compared to a full Ahrefs plan, AWT's access to search traffic and keywords, backlink data, and SEO health is severely lacking.

Review Summary

Report generation is faster than other competitive tools. The backlinks section displays all available backlinks on the website which you can also filter like which one was created a few hours ago. Website auditor is something that this tool does efficiently, it also gives you suggestions about website content. Although Ahref has various SEO tools, I frequently use their Backlink Checker tool to check the backlinks of my websites and those of my competition.

What do you like the most about Ahrefs?

It offers access to the most important tools commonly required in an SEO project, such as keyword research and backlink analysis and site auditing.

Analyzing broken links (both external and internal) is very simple with Ahrefs.

The addition of seats for Ahrefs is quite affordable in the standards of its rivals.

What do you like the least about Ahrefs?

There's not a trial period for free. The report's limits are absurd

The link index of this site is less than the indexes of its main rivals Moz and Semrush.

There aren't built-in contact surfaces or tools to manage projects that can aid you with building backlinks.

Review Summary

To say that the team at Media Exchange are fans of Ahrefs is a little bit of an understatement. We're so stoked on the software we decided to order their stickers and mugs to use around the office. I mean, why wouldn't we? It's a known fact: sipping coffee from an Ahrefs mug improves crawlability of the brain 2x more than any other mug.

What do you like the most about Ahrefs?

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

I've used it for training young SEOs and it has been great!

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

Tim has a very cool LinkedIn account, so that's pretty neat too.

What do you like the least about Ahrefs?

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.

Best-in-market business intelligence software.

Review Summary

As an agency that specializes in SEO services it is imperative that we conduct research on certain prospects and vet their websites before linking our clients to them. Our clients do not want to be associated with websites that are linked to casinos, gambling, etc. which is why this research is necessary. Ahrefs is an excellent business intelligence tool - it allows us to determine the organic traffic, traffic volatility, Domain Ratings, linked domains, backlink profiles, organic keywords, and so much more of various pages. Their database is extensive and provides valuable insights that help us make informed decisions. Uninformed linking can result in damage to a client's reputation and page ranking, the opposite of what we strive to achieve. The downside to this tool is that sometimes it can be rather slow; however, this may be expected due to the large database. Some find Ahrefs expensive and overwhelming but we find it extensively useful.

Review Summary

I’ve been doing search engine optimization (SEO) for 6 years both for my own portfolio and for clients at Digital Software Products. My team and I have managed over 30 websites and have used a variety of tools. Ahrefs is hands down the best SEO tool for checking backlinks apart from Google itself. Its crawlers are much more powerful and active than other tools which allow it to find more links, enabling you to do better SEO.

Additionally, it has amazing utility functions. Ahrefs has extra functions that allow you to approach keyword research from various perspectives to better organize your keywords and to find additional keywords.

The biggest con is that they don’t have a free version which makes it hard for prospective users. Apart from that I really have nothing to complain about.

It is the best tool for competitor research on backlinks. Their youtube videos are the best tutorials for getting a clear view of the tool. As a founder of Discover Your Blog I would say that the purpose of the tools definitely satisfied. But the pricing is a bit higher.

Review Summary

No other tool can dethrone Ahrefs - when it comes to looking at links, Ahrefs is the tool I turn to for my SEO company - Prosperity Media. It has the most comprehensive historical database of links and this data is invaluable when I do competitive analysis on SERPs. I can extract all first-page result URLs and run a Batch Analysis within Ahrefs to get a quick and dirty overview of the link profile of each ranking site. Then I will jump into Site Explorer to do a deeper analysis of individual domains to examine their link building strategy and how it has factored into their visibility.

Review Summary

Amit Raj here, I'm a Link builder & Founder of my company- Amit Digital Marketing and use Ahrefs almost exclusively.

Good points I've found:

 - It is quite accurate at estimating traffic. While it is not perfect, it is probably the most accurate tool at predicting organic traffic levels.

 - Great ability to extract backlink profiles from sites. And robust filters throughout the tool.

 - "Traffic value" function is great if you want to visualize the value of the organic traffic you're bringing in, in terms of what it would cost in Adwords terms.

Cons:

 - It doesn't have the content auditing tool.

Review Summary

As a Digital Marketing Specialist of Rocket Web, I am familiar with most of the SEO tools. We currently use Ahrefs for our SEO purpose. I use it for keyword research as some pick up on keywords that others do not. Ahrefs is best for me as it is mainly used for backlink research and content suggestions. It would be helpful to have an email scraper tool, also it’s not very easy to use when trying to export only backlinks that you do not have pointing to your website.

Review Summary

I use Ahrefs daily for my business - Copygun. Now I pay almost $200 a month for Ahrefs, which gives me access to historical data. There's something about Ahrefs that makes you feel like they actually care about you. It actually helps their users get the most out of their tool. Ahrefs also continues to pump out excellent research.

Ahrefs Pros 

- Backlinks, obviously, and Content Explorer is underutilized as a headline analyzer tool for the most viral content online

Ahrefs Cons  

- It doesn't prioritize low-authority sites, so if you've got clients trying to rank new projects, visibility and backlinks can take time to show up, so you have to rely more on Google Search Console, which is free.
