“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.”

Owner

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

“Some reports are powerful but not explained clearly, which can slow down work for new users.”
