“So we've had info now from a number of SEO tools, including Sistrix, ahrefs, Semrush, SE Ranking, SeoClarity, DataForSEO and others. Again, I think this is just Google wanting to”
“Can’t believe no one is saying Ahrefs. Their free auditing is second to none in what they look at. It’s not always accurate but it brings up potential issues all the time.”
“With SEMrush and Ahrefs, you’re paying a lot for the ease of use and simplicity. The reports are all there for you. DataforSEO is often way way cheaper, but you have to know what you’re doing to set it up well for your workflow.”
“From what I understand, the main difference is that Ahrefs/Semrush are more like complete end-user SEO platforms, while DataForSEO is more useful when you want to access SEO/SERP data programmatically through an API.”
“My current company grants me access to ahrefs, screaming frog but I wouldn't use it. As others mentioned, Screaming Frog gets you crawl 500 urls, it's enough for a small site crawl, I also used ahrefs free tools.”
“Ahrefs has admitted their own accuracy has a median deviation near 50%, so “unusable” tracks for anyone who was leaning on it as a precise number rather than a rough directional signal. Still useful for relative comparisons (this keyword vs.”
“According to an Ahrefs study with 900,000 new web pages, their tests showed that 74.2% of them had some amount of AI-generated content. I'm using the Ahrefs study because it also measured the gradients.”
“Ahrefs Social Media Manager now supports YouTube Shorts, with likes and replies displayed for incoming comments. The value goes beyond fewer dashboard switches.”
“Ahrefs gets this data by scraping Google search results. So they could scrape more search results, more often in order to have more data and more accurate data.”
“Ahrefs has been acting up a lot, I don't find it very useful, and its connection with GSC keeps failing and doesn't update. Do you know of any other tool for keyword data?”
“I bought Ahrefs Lite or whatever it’s called and honestly for 30 bucks it’s well worth it for anyone having a couple projects. Don’t even need any knowledge to use site audit or keywords explorer tbh.”
“Yes, Ahrefs was better in the past, but at least in my opinion it's still better than its competitors when it is about data you can't get first hand yourself.”
“Ahrefs showed my site traffic drop to 0 suddenly. My clients often reference ahrefs traffic. I had to add their new ahrefs analytics javascript for it to update.”
“Still chipping away at updating my bios across the internet with this lil tool I built in @ahrefs and it's very boring work but very helpful for AI visibility + pivoting the context they have about me so it's current”
