“Always the best of the available search with very useful extras such as the panel showing location/opening times, and integration with other Google features such as maps.”

Daryl B.

Assistant Site Manager

Cons

“This costed webmasters agency business because some agencies had a process where they evaluated traffic based on Ahrefs and would not accept any alternative way. And now in 2025 they no longer track any positions that rank at over 10th place in Google, because the forced pagination in Google API would make their costs also prohibitive.”

Jana M.

Consultant

“The pricing model is not great on value of money to a mid sized retail team, and customer service takes too much time to answer an important security question about user access.”
AH

Amir H.

E-Commerce Manager

“I want to use the paid features, but the subscription price is too high for me.”

Cons

“It doesn’t always provide real-time data, and some reports can be hard to interpret without experience.”

“Sometime gets to much time to get an answer when you want to index pages or fixed issues.”
