Exceptional SEO data and analytics
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Ahrefs from other similar products?
Ahrefs data and analytic tools are impressive. Keyword research without Ahrefs can be a huge loss of time. That's why I prefer Ahrefs to other SEO tools. I have found tons of low difficulty keywords for my niche sites, spending a few hours. It's the kind of value you get from a high-quality SEO tool.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Keyword research is easy to do and Ahrefs offers many different options to understand better competitive content.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Its price. I know you get what you pay, but I would love if it had a more affordable plan.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Take the 1-week free trial and use all the resources available on Ahrefs blog and their YouTube Channel. But, most of all, decide what you want to do with it. In my opinion, Ahrefs is the best SEO tool for keyword research out there. Hands down. It's great for backlink profiling and site audits as well. My grain of salt: choose Ahrefs if you are going to use it for any of the above. If you are not sure, learn more about SEO or use the free trial. Or both.
Pros
- Reliable
- Trustworthy
