Ahrefs vs. Long Tail Pro vs. Nozzle

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.

The Highlight of the SAAS tool is the UI - A work of art to allow fast decisions on focus keys of interest. This will not work without accuracy and the backup of a content plan to increase future SERP positions.

• - It is great that we can change data SERP frequency to be daily / weekly / monthly / etc to save on limits (My current tracker can’t do this)
• - LOTS of data, and many ways to visualize them
• - Customer service is efficient, you can get them on Live chat. They also have an active Slack channel, and replies are really quick

• 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.

• It is hard to understand as a novice in SEO, more hover explanations would be helpful
• I do not think they have automatic reports and notifications but this would be nice to have
• Their sign in process is a bit odd, as you sign in and then get emailed a link

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

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.

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.

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.

They are quite different in terms of functionality. The unlimited competitor analysis and brand tracking, data integration are a huge plus for me. Ahrefs and Semrush have established players in the market. Nozzle is able to provide additional insights. One of the biggest issues is that it only supports Google SERP.
