Michael C.

VP Marketing

“I also use it to research competitors, find out what content they are ranking for in Google and then producing my own content with a view to outranking the competition and driving traffic to my clients websites.”
DS

David S.

Owner

Pros

“The best feature for me has been the broken links identifier - this is particularly helpful when crawling new client websites.”
OM

Oliver M.

SEO Lead

“This degree of data has enabled our team to make informed judgments, resulting in considerable improvements in our website's search engine performance. While there is a learning curve, especially for novices, the tool's usefulness in giving real-time findings and assisting in strategic decision-making makes it well worth the effort.”
SA

Spriha A.

Senior Digital Marketing Officer

“This software is able to collect a large amount of data on the website including page titles, headings, URLs, meta descriptions, codes, and many more which easily get exported for further analysis.”

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.”
JM

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.”
DH

Dedit H.

Developer

Cons

“The software is not ideally suited to very large websites (like ecommerce sites for example), the bigger the website the slower the crawl setting needs to be to avoid errors or pages not crawled, but this can be very slow to produce a report.”
CC

Christopher C.

SEO Specialist

“sometimes data with GSC is skewed or not matching”
Ma

Melisa a.

Organic performance manager

“It may require a lot of data and sometimes can be sluggish as the whole operation is carried by the software on your pc.”
