“The Favourite SEO Research Platform on the Web”

Ahrefs has been my go to SEO tool for the last decade, since the times it was just a backlink discovery, a keyword research and Rank Tracker tool. It was widely regarded as the best tool for the job at the time.

Having been using it as the primary tool at Nurdic since it's launch, I still get excited every time they expand the functionality of a report or add a new feature that allows yet more granular insights into the SEO my clients. When it comes to SEO tools, Ahrefs continues to be in a category of its own.

Needless to say, it has never stopped being my favourite SEO tool on the web because of its reliability and accuracy which, since then, expanded to numerous new features like the Site Audit to diagnosie onpage and technical SEO issues, Content Explorer to find content on the web through the SEO lense, and competitive analysis that extends over both ranking keywords as well as referring domains.

As a website owner of https://automatenspieler.net I've found Ahrefs to be an indispensable tool for managing my SEO needs. It has become an integral part of my daily workflow, and I would rate it 8 out of 10 stars. In my experience, the tool excels in several areas - most of all the backlink analysis which was the first feature they offered. In other areas such as keyword research or content analysis, there might be better competitors.
