Ahrefs
SEO toolset for backlinks, keywords and site audits
Ahrefs is a search engine optimization and marketing platform built around a large proprietary web index, paired with research and monitoring tools. It serves SEO specialists, content marketers, PPC specialists, and brand teams who need to research keywords, study competitors, and track how a website performs in search results and, increasingly, in AI chatbot answers.
The platform centers on tools such as Site Explorer for competitive website analysis, Keywords Explorer for keyword and search-behavior research, Rank Tracker for monitoring search positions, Content Explorer for finding backlink and mention opportunities, and Site Audit for technical health checks. A Brand Radar module tracks brand mentions across AI chatbots and search, and Bot Analytics identifies which crawlers visit a site. An assistant called Ask Ahrefs lets users query the underlying data and move around the platform with plain-language questions instead of building manual reports. Ahrefs says its index spans tens of billions of keywords across hundreds of trillions of pages, and that a large share of Fortune 500 companies use the platform.
Free signup is available alongside paid subscription tiers, and an Enterprise plan adds API access, single sign-on, and custom reporting; some plans include free beta access to the Ask Ahrefs assistant.
