Music try SEO tool - Full of awesomeness

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates Ahrefs from other similar products?

The Ahrefs auditing is in-depth and can able to get valuable insights from that. Easy to track broken links on a blog using Ahrefs

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Building backlinks is easier with Ahrefs. Of course we cannot use Ahrefs to build backlinks. Instead, using Ahrefs, we can find all the broken links in a blog and pitch our content to the blog owner to replace those broken links with (follow/no-follow) referral to our content.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It will be bit complex to understand the entire breadth of features within Ahrefs if you are a beginner. It would be great if Ahrefs provides a guidance/notifications within their workspace rather than youtube video tutorials.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Great SEO platform. Must try

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Enables Productivity
  • Trustworthy

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Ahrefs from other similar products?

It is intuitive and straightforward to use, the user interface is clean and uncluttered, Ahrefs is ideal for competitive research, its technical SEO tools are practical and extremely powerful, significantly improving a website's search relevance, it has a massive link database, it also provides solid backlink opportunities, and it has excellent support.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It allows us to monitor our search performance and also track specific keywords that are very valuable to us as a company; however, what I like the most is the backlinks feature because it allows us to check the competitor's link profile and track the backlinks that are established; also, the customer service is fast and responsive.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It is not ideal for optimizing specific pieces of content, I think this feature should be improved, and its cost reduced, as it is a bit high.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Ahrefs is a critical tool for locating high-quality backlinks, planning and tracking your SEO performance, and keyword research; you can see which keywords you are ranking for and follow which keywords your competitors are ranking for. If your organisation has a website and relies heavily on organic traffic, Ahrefs is an excellent tool to use.
