Google search rank tracking

With the Rank Tracker option, you can monitor website rank in Google search results on mobile devices and desktop computers. It is a quick and in-depth analysis of the competing websites. All you need to do is enter a list of keywords and fill in the details: country and URL of the website you want to test. Ahrefs tracks this SEO data in real-time and gives us information on basic metrics, including visibility, average position and organic traffic.

This data allows us to identify which keywords and subpages need a boost in terms of SEO. The introduced changes will help us to get higher ranks in the Google search results (SERPs), and thus attract new potential customers.

Keyword research tool – Ahrefs Keywords Explorer

Ahrefs Keywords Explorer, just like Google Keyword Planner, allows us to easily analyze keywords relevant to our business activities. The best SEO tools, including Ahrefs, let us discover many unique keywords on which your website can be displayed.

Besides, it’s a perfect way to find long tail keywords (less general and more specific). Following the suggested keyword ideas may bring a lot of traffic from search engines to your website or online store.

Website analysis and optimization

Site Explorer is a quick way to gain insight into three strategic areas of SEO. First, we can find out which keywords our competition is showing on and which websites generate the most organic traffic in the Google search engine.

Secondly, we can analyze the links. This feature shows which pages published links leading to your (or your competitors’) websites and analyze their backlink profile (Ahrefs Backlinks report). It is therefore a great tool developing your link building strategies – Ahrefs shows e.g. broken links, and nofollow links. You can also find out, based on the Domain Rating indicator, what is the quality of links leading to a given domain compared to other domains available in the database.

And last, but not least, we are able to verify whether your competitors advertise in paid search results (Google Ads) and, if so, where the paid traffic is directed. The Site Audit feature is also very helpful in our SEO analysis, as it indexes all subpages within our site and then provides an overall “website’s SEO health score”, giving insight into all real and potential problems and recommendations on how to fix them.

The Content Explorer by analyzing backlinks, organic traffic and shares in social media allows us to discover the most popular content that can be relevant to SEO activities. We also learn where the posts on the topics containing specific keywords are published.
