Ahrefs Site Explorer provides a suite of tools including a component for backlink & on-page SEO analysis, online brand mentions tracking, and domain comparison tool for competitor analysis, etc. They refer to themselves as “the largest index of live backlinks.”\nReviewers rate Keyword analysis highest, with a score of 9.7.\nThe most common users of Ahrefs are from Small Businesses (1-50 employees).\nReturn to navigation\nReturn to navigation\nView all reviews\nCompanies can't remove reviews or game the system.\nHere's why\n(1-5 of 77)\nSort By\n*\nJB\nSenior SEO Content Manager\nRover (Consumer Services, 201-500 employees)\nVetted Review\nVerified User\n8 years of experience\nUse Cases and Deployment Scope\nAhrefs is the tool we rely on for getting an accurate count of referring domains, along with associated data such as date added, target URL for the backlink. We can also track our competitors’ links, conduct keyword research. I particularly like the visualisations native to the tool, enabling me to get quick snapshots of our competitive performance over time series, and keyword volume variation is very helpful to see too.\nPros\nData visualisation\nReferring domain tracking\nKeyword research\nCons\nSometimes we’ve noticed referring domain accuracy is not up to scratch for France and Canada. Which is odd. The Ahrefs team haven’t provided a reasonable explanation for why this is the case.\nReferring domain counts have fluctuated, which makes it challenging to narrate progress to internal stakeholders. Ahrefs team has also been less than brilliant in their support for this issue.\nLikelihood to Recommend\nAhrefs is well suited to a small to medium sized content marketing team who need an all in one SEO tool. It does pretty much everything you’d ever need, from competitor domain research to keyword tracking, list building and link research for referring domain growth. It does so much at such a high quality it’s hard to think of any other tool that you would really need for a small business looking to build their SEO.\nAP\nCo-Founder\nKingston Creative (Marketing and Advertising, 1-10 employees)\nVetted Review\nVerified User\n4 years of experience\nVerified on LinkedIn\nUse Cases and Deployment Scope\nI use it mainly as an SEO practitioner, a content creator, and as a client manager. It helps me track some overall, big-picture metrics for how different client websites are performing. It helps me research content ideas. It helps me monitor if competitors are doing anything noteworthy. And it helps me perform link outreach and prospect for opportunities on the behalf of clients. It also helps me manage our own web presence.\nPros\nMetrics\nLink prospecting\nContent creation ideas\nOnline community\nCons\nPrice (I'd always love if they could slash a little off the top)\nThe social share counts are wonky\nLikelihood to Recommend\nIt's a great tool to help someone learn the ropes of SEO. Obviously it's not a be-all end-all; you shouldn't solely be looking to boost your metrics in Ahrefs; you should be tracking KPIs that are more centrally-tied to a business. But it does help provide a structural framework for understanding why one website is outranking another, or how you can do certain things; like figure out what pieces of content actually attracted links, find out who's linked to who, and prospect for people to ask for links.\nKB\nOwner, Cofounder, and Chief Creative Marketer and Strategist\nWhite Buffalo Creative (Marketing & Advertising, 1-10 employees)\nVetted Review\nVerified User\n6 years of experience\nUse Cases and Deployment Scope\nWe start every SEO project with Ahrefs. From analyzing the client's competition to discovering where to plant the authority flags, Ahrefs covers all of the bases an SEO team needs in one tool. We have yet to need a second or third tool to drive quick and consistent success for our clients. The user interface and adoption are very intuitive, and even in the rare occurrence that you run into a small roadblock, Ahrefs has a super responsive chat support team and a gigantic library of video tutorials.\nPros\nParent Topic Discovery\nCompetitive Analysis\nKeyword Research\nContent Planning\nGoogle Search Console Integration\nSEO Reporting\nBlog Post Headline Keyword Discovery\nCons\nTechnical SEO instructions (how to fix)\nLikelihood to Recommend\nThe best example I could give is if I were recommending SEO software to a beginner. It would have the shortest learning curve when compared to competitive SEO software like\nSemrush\nor\nSpyFu\n. The Ahrefs Academy is just one example of why this is the case. I learned a lot from the academy in just one day, and it stuck.\nNS\nSEO Manager\nCarWale (Automotive, 501-1000 employees)\nVetted Review\nVerified User\n4 years of experience\nVerified on LinkedIn\nUse Cases and Deployment Scope\nI have used Ahrefs for keyword research, SEO audits, and backlink monitoring. Ahrefs claims to have the biggest database for keywords to research and likely it is true. The platform has helped me research keywords that have high volume but low competition. The platform can also throw alerts for any links that your competitor acquires through email alerts.\nPros\nAhrefs can perform keyword research helping me find low-competition keywords to rank quickly.\nIt is also a very good tool to perform SEO audits for a website.\nI constantly monitor a few of my competitors to check their link-building lists. Any new links they build are an opportunity to build a link from my platform.\nCons\nAt times, the platform throws fake alerts for links acquired by competitors.\nThe platform could potentially help in understanding new pages created by competitors.\nLikelihood to Recommend\nWhen it comes to off-page SEO, Ahrefs is the best tool and can easily beat the competition. Some of the use cases where Ahrefs can help you in off-page SEO are:\n1. It can help you find broken links to your website which you can easily fix to gain SEO value.\n2. It can extract all the links for competitors to understand their strategy.\nVerified User\nPartner in Marketing\nManagement Consulting Company, 1-10 employees\nVetted Review\nVerified User\n10 years of experience\nUse Cases and Deployment Scope\nWe use Ahrefs for SEO research - backlink discovery, keyword volume estimates, competitor tracking, etc. It's a very comprehensive tool and can help with almost all phases of content planning and keyword optimization. It does NOT do a ton on the technical SEO side - but there are other tools we can use for that. It's one of our 'must have' tools.\nPros\nKeyword research\nContent mapping\nBacklink tracking\nSEO and PPC comparisons\nCons\nTechnical SEO\nInternal Linking\nDetailed PPC data\nLikelihood to Recommend\nAhrefs is a must have in the SEO toolbox.  It is one of the leading tools in the industry for serious SEO research.  It can do almost everything you need on the non-technical side of SEO. In my opinion, it is not great if you need a detailed technical tool that identifies errors and helps with fix suggestions.  In that instance, I think there are better tools on the market.  But - for content and keyword related tasks, I think it's must have.\nReturn to navigation","attrs_markdown":"[Skip to main content](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/products\/ahrefs\/reviews#main-content)\n\n[![TrustRadius: an HG Insights Company](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/images\/next\/tr-logo-wordmark-tagline.svg)](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/)\n\n- Categories\n- Vendor solutions\n- [**Write a review**](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/reviews\/new?product=ahrefs)\n- [**Research Boards**](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/researchboards)\n- - [Log in](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/api\/auth\/login?nexturl=\/products\/ahrefs\/reviews)\n  - [Sign up](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/api\/auth\/signup?nexturl=\/products\/ahrefs\/reviews)\n\n![Ahrefs](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.trustradius.com%2Fproduct-logos%2FF1%2FDt%2FUWK9E2ZR13WL-180x180.JPEG&w=256&q=75)\n\n# Ahrefs\nScore 9\\.0 out of 10\n\n- [393 Reviews and Ratings](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/products\/ahrefs\/reviews)\n- [SEO](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/categories\/seo)\n\n- Save\n\n![Ahrefs](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.trustradius.com%2Fproduct-logos%2FF1%2FDt%2FUWK9E2ZR13WL-180x180.JPEG&w=96&q=75)\n\nAhrefs\n\n- Save\n\n![](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.trustradius.com%2Fproduct-logos%2FF1%2FDt%2FUWK9E2ZR13WL-180x180.JPEG&w=384&q=75)\n\nAhrefs\n\nOpen Menu\n\n- [Overview](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/products\/ahrefs\/reviews#overview)\n- [Pricing](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/products\/ahrefs\/reviews#pricing)\n- [Product Demos](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/products\/ahrefs\/reviews#product-demos)\n- [Features Scorecard](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/products\/ahrefs\/reviews#features-scorecard)\n- [Product Details](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/products\/ahrefs\/reviews#product-details)\n- [Comparisons](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/products\/ahrefs\/reviews#comparisons)\n- [Reviews and Ratings (393)](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/products\/ahrefs\/reviews#reviews)\n\nStarting at **\\$99 per month**\n\n[View Pricing](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/products\/ahrefs\/reviews#pricing)\n\n## Do you work for [**Ahrefs**](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/vendors\/ahrefs)?\n- [Learn how we help vendors](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/vendor)\n- [Get your free intent data report](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/products\/ahrefs\/reviews\/intent-data-preview)\n- [Profile Claimed](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/vendor\/why-claim-your-profile)\n\n## Overview\n### What is Ahrefs?\nAhrefs is an SEO tool providers.

We can also track our competitors’ links, conduct keyword research. I particularly like the visualisations native to the tool, enabling me to get quick snapshots of our competitive performance over time series, and keyword volume variation is very helpful to see too.\n\n##### [Pros](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/products\/ahrefs\/reviews?qs=pros-and-cons#reviews)\n- Data visualisation\n- Referring domain tracking\n- Keyword research\n\n##### Cons\n- Sometimes we’ve noticed referring domain accuracy is not up to scratch for France and Canada. Which is odd. The Ahrefs team haven’t provided a reasonable explanation for why this is the case.\n- Referring domain counts have fluctuated, which makes it challenging to narrate progress to internal stakeholders. Ahrefs team has also been less than brilliant in their support for this issue.\n\n##### [Likelihood to Recommend](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/products\/ahrefs\/reviews?qs=likelihood-to-recommend#reviews)\nAhrefs is well suited to a small to medium sized content marketing team who need an all in one SEO tool. It does pretty much everything you’d ever need, from competitor domain research to keyword tracking, list building and link research for referring domain growth. It does so much at such a high quality it’s hard to think of any other tool that you would really need for a small business looking to build their SEO.\n\nRead full review\n\n#### [Ahrefs; not a great name, but a great product](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/reviews\/ahrefs-2021-04-01-09-25-32)\nRating: 9 out of 10\n\n[Incentivized](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/static\/about-trustradius-reviews)\n\nApril 23, 2025\n\nSave\n\nAP\n\n[Alex Panagiotopoulos](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/users\/58c9a5125b07130015116249)\n\nCo-Founder\n\nKingston Creative (Marketing and Advertising, 1-10 employees)\n\nVetted Review\n\nVerified User\n\n![Ahrefs](https:\/\/media.trustradius.com\/product-logos\/F1\/Dt\/UWK9E2ZR13WL-180x180.JPEG)\n\n4 years of experience\n\n[Verified on LinkedIn](https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/hcmarketingpr)\n\n##### [Use Cases and Deployment Scope](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/products\/ahrefs\/reviews?qs=product-usage#reviews)\nI use it mainly as an SEO practitioner, a content creator, and as a client manager. It helps me track some overall, big-picture metrics for how different client websites are performing. It helps me research content ideas. It helps me monitor if competitors are doing anything noteworthy. And it helps me perform link outreach and prospect for opportunities on the behalf of clients. It also helps me manage our own web presence.\n\n##### [Pros](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/products\/ahrefs\/reviews?qs=pros-and-cons#reviews)\n- Metrics\n- Link prospecting\n- Content creation ideas\n- Online community\n\n##### Cons\n- Price (I'd always love if they could slash a little off the top)\n- The social share counts are wonky\n\n##### [Likelihood to Recommend](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/products\/ahrefs\/reviews?qs=likelihood-to-recommend#reviews)\nIt's a great tool to help someone learn the ropes of SEO. Obviously it's not a be-all end-all; you shouldn't solely be looking to boost your metrics in Ahrefs; you should be tracking KPIs that are more centrally-tied to a business. But it does help provide a structural framework for understanding why one website is outranking another, or how you can do certain things; like figure out what pieces of content actually attracted links, find out who's linked to who, and prospect for people to ask for links.\n\nRead full review\n\n#### [Ahrefs - simple, faster, smarter SEO decision making](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/reviews\/ahrefs-2024-11-06-11-40-40)\nRating: 10 out of 10\n\n[Incentivized](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/static\/about-trustradius-reviews)\n\nNovember 22, 2024\n\nSave\n\nKB\n\n[Kyle Börner](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/users\/624ef6e3379d570042439196)\n\nOwner, Cofounder, and Chief Creative Marketer and Strategist\n\nWhite Buffalo Creative (Marketing & Advertising, 1-10 employees)\n\nVetted Review\n\nVerified User\n\n![Ahrefs](https:\/\/media.trustradius.com\/product-logos\/F1\/Dt\/UWK9E2ZR13WL-180x180.JPEG)\n\n6 years of experience\n\n[View profile](https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/kyleborner)\n\n##### [Use Cases and Deployment Scope](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/products\/ahrefs\/reviews?qs=product-usage#reviews)\nWe start every SEO project with Ahrefs. From analyzing the client's competition to discovering where to plant the authority flags, Ahrefs covers all of the bases an SEO team needs in one tool. We have yet to need a second or third tool to drive quick and consistent success for our clients. The user interface and adoption are very intuitive, and even in the rare occurrence that you run into a small roadblock, Ahrefs has a super responsive chat support team and a gigantic library of video tutorials.\n\n##### [Pros](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/products\/ahrefs\/reviews?qs=pros-and-cons#reviews)\n- Parent Topic Discovery\n- Competitive Analysis\n- Keyword Research\n- Content Planning\n- Google Search Console Integration\n- SEO Reporting\n- Blog Post Headline Keyword Discovery\n\n##### Cons\n- Technical SEO instructions (how to fix)\n\n##### [Likelihood to Recommend](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/products\/ahrefs\/reviews?qs=likelihood-to-recommend#reviews)\nThe best example I could give is if I were recommending SEO software to a beginner. It would have the shortest learning curve when compared to competitive SEO software like [Semrush](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/products\/semrush\/reviews) or [SpyFu](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/products\/spyfu\/reviews). The Ahrefs Academy is just one example of why this is the case.

Ahrefs claims to have the biggest database for keywords to research and likely it is true. The platform has helped me research keywords that have high volume but low competition. The platform can also throw alerts for any links that your competitor acquires through email alerts.\n\n##### [Pros](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/products\/ahrefs\/reviews?qs=pros-and-cons#reviews)\n- Ahrefs can perform keyword research helping me find low-competition keywords to rank quickly.\n- It is also a very good tool to perform SEO audits for a website.\n- I constantly monitor a few of my competitors to check their link-building lists. Any new links they build are an opportunity to build a link from my platform.\n\n##### Cons\n- They should have [Google Search Console](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/products\/google-search-console\/reviews) integration wherein ranks of [Google Search Console](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/products\/google-search-console\/reviews) and ranks of Ahrefs keyword tracker can be compared.\n- At times, the platform throws fake alerts for links acquired by competitors.\n- The platform could potentially help in understanding new pages created by competitors.\n\n##### [Likelihood to Recommend](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/products\/ahrefs\/reviews?qs=likelihood-to-recommend#reviews)\nWhen it comes to off-page SEO, Ahrefs is the best tool and can easily beat the competition. Some of the use cases where Ahrefs can help you in off-page SEO are:  \n1\\. It can help you find broken links to your website which you can easily fix to gain SEO value.  \n2\\. It can extract all the links for competitors to understand their strategy.\n\nRead full review\n\n#### [Great tool - must have for SEOs](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/reviews\/ahrefs-2024-06-18-08-59-27)\nRating: 8 out of 10\n\n[Incentivized](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/static\/about-trustradius-reviews)\n\nJune 26, 2024\n\nSave\n\nVerified User\n\nPartner in Marketing\n\nManagement Consulting Company, 1-10 employees\n\nVetted Review\n\nVerified User\n\n![Ahrefs](https:\/\/media.trustradius.com\/product-logos\/F1\/Dt\/UWK9E2ZR13WL-180x180.JPEG)\n\n10 years of experience\n\n##### [Use Cases and Deployment Scope](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/products\/ahrefs\/reviews?qs=product-usage#reviews)\nWe use Ahrefs for SEO research - backlink discovery, keyword volume estimates, competitor tracking, etc. It's a very comprehensive tool and can help with almost all phases of content planning and keyword optimization. It does NOT do a ton on the technical SEO side - but there are other tools we can use for that. It's one of our 'must have' tools.\n\n##### [Pros](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/products\/ahrefs\/reviews?qs=pros-and-cons#reviews)\n- Keyword research\n- Content mapping\n- Backlink tracking\n- SEO and PPC comparisons\n\n##### Cons\n- Technical SEO\n- Internal Linking\n- Detailed PPC data\n\n##### [Likelihood to Recommend](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/products\/ahrefs\/reviews?qs=likelihood-to-recommend#reviews)\nAhrefs is a must have in the SEO toolbox. It is one of the leading tools in the industry for serious SEO research. It can do almost everything you need on the non-technical side of SEO. In my opinion, it is not great if you need a detailed technical tool that identifies errors and helps with fix suggestions. In that instance, I think there are better tools on the market. But - for content and keyword related tasks, I think it's must have.\n\nRead full review\n\n[View all reviews](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/products\/ahrefs\/reviews\/all)\n\n[Return to navigation](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/products\/ahrefs\/reviews)\n\n[![TrustRadius: an HG Insights Company](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/images\/next\/tr-logo-wordmark-tagline-dark.svg)](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/)\n\n## TrustRadius\n- [About Us](https:\/\/about.trustradius.com\/)\n- [Team](https:\/\/hginsights.com\/about\/leadership)\n- [Careers](https:\/\/hginsights.com\/about\/hg-insights-careers)\n- [News](https:\/\/solutions.trustradius.com\/resources-overview\/?category=news%2C&parent-category=topic)\n- [Contact Us](https:\/\/about.trustradius.com\/contact-us)\n\n## For Buyers\n- [Categories](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/categories)\n- [Buyer Blog](https:\/\/solutions.trustradius.com\/buyer-blog\/)\n\n## For Vendors\n- [Vendor Solutions](https:\/\/solutions.trustradius.com\/)\n- [Claim Your Profile](https:\/\/solutions.trustradius.com\/claim-your-profile\/)\n- [Vendor Blog and Resources](https:\/\/solutions.trustradius.com\/resources-overview\/)\n\n- [![](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/images\/next\/social-yt.svg)](https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCNH6ZvATJ901dJ95kOQzVTw)\n- [![](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/images\/next\/social-fb.svg)](https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TrustRadius\/)\n- [![](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/images\/next\/social-twitter.svg)](https:\/\/twitter.com\/trustradius)\n- [![](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/images\/next\/social-linkedin.svg)](https:\/\/linkedin.com\/company\/trustradius)\n\n- [Terms of Use](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/static\/terms-of-use)\n- [Security](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/static\/security)\n- [Privacy Policy](https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/static\/privacy-policy)\n- [Your Privacy Choices](https:\/\/privacyportal.onetrust.com\/webform\/13e72c91-9e4f-44ae-86e4-b6bd77ebefbc\/552da02c-cbbc-4aef-8e65-38efc63142d7)\n- [Cal.

We can also track our competitors’ links, conduct keyword research. I particularly like the visualisations native to the tool, enabling me to get quick snapshots of our competitive performance over time series, and keyword volume variation is very helpful to see too. ##### [Pros](https://www.trustradius.com/products/ahrefs/reviews?qs=pros-and-cons#reviews) - Data visualisation - Referring domain tracking - Keyword research ##### Cons - Sometimes we’ve noticed referring domain accuracy is not up to scratch for France and Canada. Which is odd. The Ahrefs team haven’t provided a reasonable explanation for why this is the case. - Referring domain counts have fluctuated, which makes it challenging to narrate progress to internal stakeholders. Ahrefs team has also been less than brilliant in their support for this issue. ##### [Likelihood to Recommend](https://www.trustradius.com/products/ahrefs/reviews?qs=likelihood-to-recommend#reviews) Ahrefs is well suited to a small to medium sized content marketing team who need an all in one SEO tool. It does pretty much everything you’d ever need, from competitor domain research to keyword tracking, list building and link research for referring domain growth. It does so much at such a high quality it’s hard to think of any other tool that you would really need for a small business looking to build their SEO.

It helps me track some overall, big-picture metrics for how different client websites are performing. It helps me research content ideas. It helps me monitor if competitors are doing anything noteworthy. And it helps me perform link outreach and prospect for opportunities on the behalf of clients. It also helps me manage our own web presence. ##### [Pros](https://www.trustradius.com/products/ahrefs/reviews?qs=pros-and-cons#reviews) - Metrics - Link prospecting - Content creation ideas - Online community ##### Cons - Price (I'd always love if they could slash a little off the top) - The social share counts are wonky ##### [Likelihood to Recommend](https://www.trustradius.com/products/ahrefs/reviews?qs=likelihood-to-recommend#reviews) It's a great tool to help someone learn the ropes of SEO. Obviously it's not a be-all end-all; you shouldn't solely be looking to boost your metrics in Ahrefs; you should be tracking KPIs that are more centrally-tied to a business. But it does help provide a structural framework for understanding why one website is outranking another, or how you can do certain things; like figure out what pieces of content actually attracted links, find out who's linked to who, and prospect for people to ask for links.

From analyzing the client's competition to discovering where to plant the authority flags, Ahrefs covers all of the bases an SEO team needs in one tool. We have yet to need a second or third tool to drive quick and consistent success for our clients. The user interface and adoption are very intuitive, and even in the rare occurrence that you run into a small roadblock, Ahrefs has a super responsive chat support team and a gigantic library of video tutorials. ##### [Pros](https://www.trustradius.com/products/ahrefs/reviews?qs=pros-and-cons#reviews) - Parent Topic Discovery - Competitive Analysis - Keyword Research - Content Planning - Google Search Console Integration - SEO Reporting - Blog Post Headline Keyword Discovery ##### Cons - Technical SEO instructions (how to fix) ##### [Likelihood to Recommend](https://www.trustradius.com/products/ahrefs/reviews?qs=likelihood-to-recommend#reviews) The best example I could give is if I were recommending SEO software to a beginner. It would have the shortest learning curve when compared to competitive SEO software like [Semrush](https://www.trustradius.com/products/semrush/reviews) or [SpyFu](https://www.trustradius.com/products/spyfu/reviews).

Ahrefs claims to have the biggest database for keywords to research and likely it is true. The platform has helped me research keywords that have high volume but low competition. The platform can also throw alerts for any links that your competitor acquires through email alerts. ##### [Pros](https://www.trustradius.com/products/ahrefs/reviews?qs=pros-and-cons#reviews) - Ahrefs can perform keyword research helping me find low-competition keywords to rank quickly. - It is also a very good tool to perform SEO audits for a website. - I constantly monitor a few of my competitors to check their link-building lists. Any new links they build are an opportunity to build a link from my platform. ##### Cons - They should have [Google Search Console](https://www.trustradius.com/products/google-search-console/reviews) integration wherein ranks of [Google Search Console](https://www.trustradius.com/products/google-search-console/reviews) and ranks of Ahrefs keyword tracker can be compared. - At times, the platform throws fake alerts for links acquired by competitors. - The platform could potentially help in understanding new pages created by competitors. ##### [Likelihood to Recommend](https://www.trustradius.com/products/ahrefs/reviews?qs=likelihood-to-recommend#reviews) When it comes to off-page SEO, Ahrefs is the best tool and can easily beat the competition. Some of the use cases where Ahrefs can help you in off-page SEO are: 1\. It can help you find broken links to your website which you can easily fix to gain SEO value. 2\. It can extract all the links for competitors to understand their strategy.

It does NOT do a ton on the technical SEO side - but there are other tools we can use for that. It's one of our 'must have' tools. ##### [Pros](https://www.trustradius.com/products/ahrefs/reviews?qs=pros-and-cons#reviews) - Keyword research - Content mapping - Backlink tracking - SEO and PPC comparisons ##### Cons - Technical SEO - Internal Linking - Detailed PPC data ##### [Likelihood to Recommend](https://www.trustradius.com/products/ahrefs/reviews?qs=likelihood-to-recommend#reviews) Ahrefs is a must have in the SEO toolbox. It is one of the leading tools in the industry for serious SEO research. It can do almost everything you need on the non-technical side of SEO. In my opinion, it is not great if you need a detailed technical tool that identifies errors and helps with fix suggestions. In that instance, I think there are better tools on the market. But - for content and keyword related tasks, I think it's must have.

[Here's why](https://www.trustradius.com/static/promise-to-buyers) (1-5 of 77) Sort By \* JB Senior SEO Content Manager Rover (Consumer Services, 201-500 employees) Vetted Review Verified User ![Ahrefs](https://media.trustradius.com/product-logos/F1/Dt/UWK9E2ZR13WL-180x180.JPEG) 8 years of experience [Use Cases and Deployment Scope](https://www.trustradius.com/products/ahrefs/reviews?qs=product-usage#reviews) Ahrefs is the tool we rely on for getting an accurate count of referring domains, along with associated data such as date added, target URL for the backlink. We can also track our competitors’ links, conduct keyword research. I particularly like the visualisations native to the tool, enabling me to get quick snapshots of our competitive performance over time series, and keyword volume variation is very helpful to see too. [Pros](https://www.trustradius.com/products/ahrefs/reviews?qs=pros-and-cons#reviews) - Data visualisation - Referring domain tracking - Keyword research Cons - Sometimes we’ve noticed referring domain accuracy is not up to scratch for France and Canada. Which is odd. The Ahrefs team haven’t provided a reasonable explanation for why this is the case. - Referring domain counts have fluctuated, which makes it challenging to narrate progress to internal stakeholders. Ahrefs team has also been less than brilliant in their support for this issue. [Likelihood to Recommend](https://www.trustradius.com/products/ahrefs/reviews?qs=likelihood-to-recommend#reviews) Ahrefs is well suited to a small to medium sized content marketing team who need an all in one SEO tool. It does pretty much everything you’d ever need, from competitor domain research to keyword tracking, list building and link research for referring domain growth. It does so much at such a high quality it’s hard to think of any other tool that you would really need for a small business looking to build their SEO. AP Co-Founder Kingston Creative (Marketing and Advertising, 1-10 employees) Vetted Review Verified User ![Ahrefs](https://media.trustradius.com/product-logos/F1/Dt/UWK9E2ZR13WL-180x180.JPEG) 4 years of experience [Verified on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/hcmarketingpr) [Use Cases and Deployment Scope](https://www.trustradius.com/products/ahrefs/reviews?qs=product-usage#reviews) I use it mainly as an SEO practitioner, a content creator, and as a client manager. It helps me track some overall, big-picture metrics for how different client websites are performing. It helps me research content ideas. It helps me monitor if competitors are doing anything noteworthy. And it helps me perform link outreach and prospect for opportunities on the behalf of clients. It also helps me manage our own web presence. [Pros](https://www.trustradius.com/products/ahrefs/reviews?qs=pros-and-cons#reviews) - Metrics - Link prospecting - Content creation ideas - Online community Cons - Price (I'd always love if they could slash a little off the top) - The social share counts are wonky [Likelihood to Recommend](https://www.trustradius.com/products/ahrefs/reviews?qs=likelihood-to-recommend#reviews) It's a great tool to help someone learn the ropes of SEO. Obviously it's not a be-all end-all; you shouldn't solely be looking to boost your metrics in Ahrefs; you should be tracking KPIs that are more centrally-tied to a business. But it does help provide a structural framework for understanding why one website is outranking another, or how you can do certain things; like figure out what pieces of content actually attracted links, find out who's linked to who, and prospect for people to ask for links. KB Owner, Cofounder, and Chief Creative Marketer and Strategist White Buffalo Creative (Marketing & Advertising, 1-10 employees) Vetted Review Verified User ![Ahrefs](https://media.trustradius.com/product-logos/F1/Dt/UWK9E2ZR13WL-180x180.JPEG) 6 years of experience [Use Cases and Deployment Scope](https://www.trustradius.com/products/ahrefs/reviews?qs=product-usage#reviews) We start every SEO project with Ahrefs. From analyzing the client's competition to discovering where to plant the authority flags, Ahrefs covers all of the bases an SEO team needs in one tool. We have yet to need a second or third tool to drive quick and consistent success for our clients. The user interface and adoption are very intuitive, and even in the rare occurrence that you run into a small roadblock, Ahrefs has a super responsive chat support team and a gigantic library of video tutorials. [Pros](https://www.trustradius.com/products/ahrefs/reviews?qs=pros-and-cons#reviews) - Parent Topic Discovery - Competitive Analysis - Keyword Research - Content Planning - Google Search Console Integration - SEO Reporting - Blog Post Headline Keyword Discovery Cons - Technical SEO instructions (how to fix) [Likelihood to Recommend](https://www.trustradius.com/products/ahrefs/reviews?qs=likelihood-to-recommend#reviews) The best example I could give is if I were recommending SEO software to a beginner. It would have the shortest learning curve when compared to competitive SEO software like [Semrush](https://www.trustradius.com/products/semrush/reviews) or [SpyFu](https://www.trustradius.com/products/spyfu/reviews). The Ahrefs Academy is just one example of why this is the case. I learned a lot from the academy in just one day, and it stuck. NS SEO Manager CarWale (Automotive, 501-1000 employees) Vetted Review Verified User ![Ahrefs](https://media.trustradius.com/product-logos/F1/Dt/UWK9E2ZR13WL-180x180.JPEG) 4 years of experience [Verified on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nhs2) [Use Cases and Deployment Scope](https://www.trustradius.com/products/ahrefs/reviews?qs=product-usage#reviews) I have used Ahrefs for keyword research, SEO audits, and backlink monitoring. Ahrefs claims to have the biggest database for keywords to research and likely it is true. The platform has helped me research keywords that have high volume but low competition. The platform can also throw alerts for any links that your competitor acquires through email alerts. [Pros](https://www.trustradius.com/products/ahrefs/reviews?qs=pros-and-cons#reviews) - Ahrefs can perform keyword research helping me find low-competition keywords to rank quickly. - It is also a very good tool to perform SEO audits for a website. - I constantly monitor a few of my competitors to check their link-building lists. Any new links they build are an opportunity to build a link from my platform. Cons - At times, the platform throws fake alerts for links acquired by competitors. - The platform could potentially help in understanding new pages created by competitors. [Likelihood to Recommend](https://www.trustradius.com/products/ahrefs/reviews?qs=likelihood-to-recommend#reviews) When it comes to off-page SEO, Ahrefs is the best tool and can easily beat the competition. Some of the use cases where Ahrefs can help you in off-page SEO are: 1\. It can help you find broken links to your website which you can easily fix to gain SEO value. 2\. It can extract all the links for competitors to understand their strategy. Verified User Partner in Marketing Management Consulting Company, 1-10 employees Vetted Review Verified User ![Ahrefs](https://media.trustradius.com/product-logos/F1/Dt/UWK9E2ZR13WL-180x180.JPEG) 10 years of experience [Use Cases and Deployment Scope](https://www.trustradius.com/products/ahrefs/reviews?qs=product-usage#reviews) We use Ahrefs for SEO research - backlink discovery, keyword volume estimates, competitor tracking, etc. It's a very comprehensive tool and can help with almost all phases of content planning and keyword optimization. It does NOT do a ton on the technical SEO side - but there are other tools we can use for that. It's one of our 'must have' tools. [Pros](https://www.trustradius.com/products/ahrefs/reviews?qs=pros-and-cons#reviews) - Keyword research - Content mapping - Backlink tracking - SEO and PPC comparisons Cons - Technical SEO - Internal Linking - Detailed PPC data [Likelihood to Recommend](https://www.trustradius.com/products/ahrefs/reviews?qs=likelihood-to-recommend#reviews) Ahrefs is a must have in the SEO toolbox. It is one of the leading tools in the industry for serious SEO research. It can do almost everything you need on the non-technical side of SEO. In my opinion, it is not great if you need a detailed technical tool that identifies errors and helps with fix suggestions. In that instance, I think there are better tools on the market. But - for content and keyword related tasks, I think it's must have. [Return to navigation](https://www.trustradius.com/products/ahrefs/reviews)
