Overall the interface is quit easy to use and understand and provide complete analysis.

Pros

Ahrefs gives me access to information such as backlink strength, thorough traffic analysis, insights into particular pages, and useful advice for doing site audits. I use it's backlink analysis, keyword research and audit tool the most.

Cons

Ahrefs is a feature-rich SEO tool, but it's relatively expensive compared to other tools and the free version is limited.

Ahrefs offers incredible amounts of SEO data and analytics tools, which are essential for the planning and execution of our marketing strategy. You can get up-to-date health stats of your website, SEO optimisation suggestions, site audits of competitors, an extensive database of keywords and backlinks - all in one place.

Pros

This is a highly comprehensive and powerful tool, providing access to data that is essential for establishing and improving your domain's SEO authority. It has an intuitive interface and allows you to quickly analyse websites, keywords and backlinks. They also have an informative YouTube channel, which can be useful to beginners.

Cons

If you use Ahrefs very actively, as we do, costs stack up quickly. Some of the functionalities are behind extra paywalls, which is understandable, but every plan allows you only 500 credits per user for viewing any individual keyword, website audit, etc., regardless of your pricing plan. You have to pay separately to buy more credit packages.

Response from Ahrefs

Hi Anastasia,

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review! We're so happy tohear you're getting a lot of value out of our tool suite.

Re: credits, we hear you! In fact, the latest version of our plans come with no credits for Standard and above. If you'd like more information, please don't hesitate to reach out to support via live chat or [email protected].

Overall, Ahrefs is a tool I cannot put down. If I truly had to limit myself to one SEO tool, it would be this one.

Pros

Ahrefs makes it very easy to get literally loads of very reliable and informative data which helps me to make the best decisions possible when it comes to SEO content strategy. The backlinks reporting features are particularly useful for understanding where backlink growth is coming from organically. Keyword research section of the tool is pretty much perfect, especially in comparison to other leading tools.

Cons

Honestly the credits system is a bit of a pain, it was better before when the only thing that was limited was the number of data exports you could run.

Response from Ahrefs

Hi Jon,

Thanks for taking the time to leave an honest review. We're thrilled to hear that you're getting tons of value from our toolset.

Thank you as well for being transparent about your views on the credit system. We'll be sure to pass on your feedback to the rest of the team. :)

I will continue use Ahrefs with most of my client's projects for its simplicity of use and quick and intuitive user interface, and great email alert service.

Pros

The inspection tools. They grant me a great view of what i need to fix on my website, and i find it more clear than Google Page Speed and google Console.

Cons

Some of the most interesting tools are paid ones, without the chance to try them in a limited way or with a trial.

Response from Ahrefs

Hi Monica,
