    Ahrefs is a must have in the SEO toolbox. It is one of the leading tools in the industry for serious SEO research. It can do almost everything you need on the non-technical side of SEO. In my opinion, it is not great if you need a detailed technical tool that identifies errors and helps with fix suggestions. In that instance, I think there are better tools on the market. But - for content and keyword related tasks, I think it's must have.

    Cons
    Ahrefs
    • Can't export graphs: some graphs within the tool would be useful as an export. Unfortunately, exporting them is not an option.
    • No "blanket" reporting options: though Ahrefs is excellent for gathering and exporting intel/data, there are no blanket SEO reports provided. Exporting data is great, but simple report exporting would make it better.

    Their index is too vast to ignore when looking at a complete backlink profile. We find links in Ahrefs that do not appear in any other link detection tool. For this reason, it's a must for our agency to use for the foreseeable future. Plus, it's very affordable considering the data you get

    Usability
    Ahrefs
    Ahrefs is very easy to use - you can jump right in and understand most of the assets. Overall, the dashboard snapshots give a very good picture of inbound link activity. For deeper analysis of historical trends, the system can become cumbersome, making it hard to do full work without exporting and reformatting the data.

    Support Rating
    Ahrefs
    Ahrefs has always been responsive when there's been a technical issue with the site. There are usually very little problems, but if there are, they announce it on their social media accounts which keeps its customers informed. Email support is prompt and the customer service people are very helpful, knowledgable and friendly.

    Ahrefs
    Majestic and Ahrefs are really close in terms of tool. Ahrefs does offer competitive comparison and they do have a more up to date data base. Majestic however has a more comprehensive historical view of sites which is also extremely valuable. Majestic also offers a link velocity chart that is missing on Ahrefs. Ahrefs makes up for this with their links gained/lost calendar which Majestic is missing.

    CrunchJunkie Screenshots

    Screenshot of AI Visibility overview for one brand. It shows how often the brand is named across the tracked AI engines (here 35.6% of 2,848 answers, with the margin of error), its average position and sentiment, how often its own pages are retrieved and cited, whether AI crawlers can reach the site, and the mention rate for each tracked prompt. Every percentage carries its sample size.Screenshot of A white-label client report. The agency's own name and logo head the report, and each AI-visibility metric (visibility, share of voice, sentiment, average position, mentions) shows its change against the previous period and the number of AI answers it is based on. The same report can also carry Google Ads, Meta, GA4 and Search Console widgets.Screenshot of The Signals inbox lists changes that deserve attention, each with its sample size and confidence. In this example: a firewall refusing 13% of AI-crawler requests (465 of 3,515), two statistically significant visibility drops, missing Product schema, and a competitor overtaking on share of voice. Signals can be acknowledged, snoozed, or turned into automated alerts.Screenshot of GEO Audit for a website: an AI-readiness score (93 of 100 here, across 6 pages) with sub-scores for AI crawler access, content accessibility, structured data, technical SEO hygiene and llms.txt. Below it, the fixes are ranked by the points each would add, and the built-in assistant can draft each fix.Screenshot of Brand Perception shows the words AI models use when they describe a brand, here based on 1,952 mentions over 30 days: the term most associated with the brand, the term only it receives, the largest gap against a competitor, and a radar chart comparing its description profile with selected competitors.Screenshot of Citation gap analysis: the domains AI engines cite when they name competitors but not you, ranked by gap score, with how often each domain was cited for competitors and for your brand. It is the working list for outreach and content placement.
