Overall Satisfaction with Ahrefs Site Explorer
Ahrefs is used to monitor site rankings, backlink wins and losses, technical performance and load-time information, as well as competitive research on how other companies perform relative to us in search. It is used within the corporate marketing department and in some business units. We are tracking both our properties and the rankings of competitors.
Pros
- Backlink reports detail gains and losses, which is particularly useful if you're trying to remove bad backlinks.
- It reviews on-page elements and helps identify how a page could be improved (such as load time.)
- The tracking capabilities let us see historical data about how website rankings have improved or declined.
Cons
- Ahref's keyword analyzer is not as strong as its competitors. Depending on the plan you have, it may limit to number of queries attributed to the property you're researching.
- Ahrefs allowed us to build smarter SEM strategies and estimate how we ranked against competitors for web traffic
- Ahrefs' impact on revenue is difficult to measure because it is one tool in a larger suite. Alone, it does not drive leads but supports the efforts of a team to grow traffic.
Ahrefs and SpyFu compliment each other. Ahrefs is better for backlinks and overall performance tracking. SpyFu is the leader for keyword analysis, especially with their combat tool. Conductor strives to replace or supplement Webmaster Tools and Google Analytics and build custom reporting, particularly for agencies. Ahrefs is a strong tool to support any marketing team that is building an organic presence.
