I have been using Ahrefs for 3+ years & I love it!

What differentiates Ahrefs from other similar products?

Ahrefs has the best backlink database hands down. The keyword and competitor analysis is really the best too. It is more user-friendly than other keyword research tools.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite aspect of Ahrefs is the overview section, which shows all the data I need to present to my boss or a client, when I worked in an agency, in one place. I also love the Keywords Explorer section, where I can easily find search volume and related keywords for any keyword I want to investigate. Lastly, the Ahrefs Google Chrome extension is AMAZING. It is so convenient to use for quickly looking at key metrics for a domain/page..

What do you dislike most about this product?

There isn't a whole lot I dislike about Ahrefs other than the price. I don't personally pay for it, but it took a lot of convincing to have my company pick up the tab on it.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you are serious about SEO, Ahrefs is really the only answer. You can get away with other tools, but Ahrefs is the best of the best.
