Overall Satisfaction with Ahrefs
I use it mainly as an SEO practitioner, a content creator, and as a client manager. It helps me track some overall, big-picture metrics for how different client websites are performing. It helps me research content ideas. It helps me monitor if competitors are doing anything noteworthy. And it helps me perform link outreach and prospect for opportunities on the behalf of clients. It also helps me manage our own web presence.
- Metrics
- Link prospecting
- Content creation ideas
- Online community
- Price (I'd always love if they could slash a little off the top)
- The social share counts are wonky
- It's had a very positive impact for time management.
- It helps me in content creation.
- It helps me with link outreach.
- It helps me with client management.
Semrush and BuzzSumo are also good tools. Semrush is hardcore and technical; if you outgrew Ahrefs as an SEO practitioner and were doing intense work for one big client, I'd highly recommend it. BuzzSumo is more for a social media manager; it provides huge shortcuts for figuring out what's trending around any different topics in real time.
