What do you like best about Ahrefs?

Industry-leading backlink analysis capabilities that provide exceptional depth and accuracy

Intuitive user interface that makes navigating complex SEO data straightforward

Comprehensive Site Audit tool that quickly identifies critical SEO issues

Keyword research tools that show valuable metrics like Keyword Difficulty and Click potential

Regular updates and new features that keep the platform cutting-edge Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ahrefs?

The tools in the backend appear disconnected and not complete

There are a number of "2.0 beta" tools that have been out for years

Stale progress on the things that matter, distracted by things like Analytics suite

API access restricted to higher-tier plans Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ahrefs solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ahrefs has been a useful tool for addressing our basic SEO needs, though it's far from perfect. The platform helps us track keywords and identify some backlink opportunities, which has moderately improved our site visibility. While the competitor analysis provides adequate insights, the interface can be clunky and data sometimes feels outdated. We've seen modest improvements in our rankings, but nothing dramatic, and the premium price is difficult to justify given the limitations. It gets the job done when we need baseline SEO metrics, but we often find ourselves supplementing with other tools to fill in the gaps that Ahrefs misses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ahrefs?

I like the most about this Ahrefs is that I can easily monitored my website performances. This is one my reliable search engine tool . How my own website ranking goes and I can easily detect internal errors or any top issues about some URLs.

So far it is my best overview software in monitoring my website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ahrefs?

Fake Promises, saying you get this and that but at the end nothing really there every turn need to pay more. No trial period or even refund granted after few minutes of paying to see if they have the feature you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ahrefs?

No trial or trust in their own solution to help you get better SEO. It is more like pay per view. Once you pay then you can see and test the feature. Customer service is good. However just after 2 hours of signing up and finding out the feature i need is not there. they said we can't refund you. Reading thier refund policy afterward to find out they are getting lot's of refunds that's why they are saying basically sue me to get your money back :D

"Refund policy

For your monthly subscription, you may request for a refund after payment has been made for non-use, but please be advised that we reserve the right to decline your refund request should we see any material activity in your account."

What do you dislike about Ahrefs?

Pricing is very high compared to its competitors. For small companies it would be difficult to purchase. Indeed the tool offers advanced SEO analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
