Accurate data aids in faster decision-making and boosts organic traffic

What is our primary use case?

My main use case for Ahrefs is keyword research and competitive analysis.

I use it primarily for keyword research and competitive analysis. A recent project that I went through was to look at what competitors were ranking for and to build out a content strategy around which keywords we wanted to prioritize.

What is most valuable?

The primary tools that I used were the Content Explorer and the Keyword Explorer. We utilized site traffic, specifically from organic sources as a KPI to measure performance.

Their data and their dashboards have been much more accurate than comparing to other tools.

Faster decision-making and huge growths in traffic have positively impacted my organization.

At a previous company where I used Ahrefs, we saw a 4X increase in organic traffic over the first eight months.

What needs improvement?

Not every tool is perfect. I think it could probably be more accurate, but overall it's a great product.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Ahrefs for about eight years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The only addition would be additional licenses, but that's it.

How are customer service and support?

They are very responsive.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I used SEMrush.

I felt that the accuracy of Ahrefs was better.

How was the initial setup?

Pricing is easy. It's a direct purchase from the website, which makes it a quick turnaround to implement into the organization.

What about the implementation team?

We did not use an implementation team.

What was our ROI?

We did not calculate ROI.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

There were no additional setup costs.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Use your own data to check the accuracy of these search tools because you'll have first-party data that sometimes is more accurate and use Ahrefs as a guider, not as a decision-maker.

What other advice do I have?

When looking at different tools, I would look at keyword volumes for keywords that we already ranked for, compare the search volumes in Google Search Console compared to Ahrefs and other competitors and just found that Ahrefs was more closely accurate to Google Search Console. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Ahrefs a nine.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Efficiently benchmarks competitors and optimizes website visibility in search results

What is our primary use case?

The main use case for SISTRIX is to assess the performance of a website in Google's organic search. I specifically look at the SISTRIX SEO Visibility to understand what competitors are doing and use it as a benchmark. The visibility metric helps me quickly understand how visible a website is in Google's organic search without having to spend hours looking at thousands of keyword rankings. Additionally, I use SISTRIX to dive deeper into a competitor by looking at rankings per subdomain or per subfolder to understand what content formats are working well for competitors. I filter reports by sub-features such as AI Overviews, Featured Snippets, or Google Image Boxes, understand the impact of Google Shopping on keywords, maintain lists of keywords and domains, and build dashboards to have all the data in one comprehensive overview.

What is most valuable?

The SISTRIX SEO Visibility is the best feature because it is reliable and trusted, available for long periods historically (often for ten years), and provides daily data. Combined with the amazing filters present across all reports, it gives everything needed. SISTRIX has significantly impacted my organization by saving multiple hours per week, amounting to dozens of hours. The reliability of the tool and its ability to provide high-quality features without frequent upsells contribute to its value.

What needs improvement?

I find that the tool is pretty good and have no concrete suggestions for improvement.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using SISTRIX on and off for fifteen years.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have used many solutions including Searchmetrics, SEOlytics, Semrush, and Ahrefs. I always return to SISTRIX because the pricing is affordable and fair. When they have new features, they give them to you without trying to upsell regularly like other big enterprise platforms. The data is reliable, and SISTRIX maintains high-quality features as it is still founder-led.

How was the initial setup?

The setup experience was very easy and straightforward.

What was our ROI?

Though we have not formally measured the ROI, the savings in time clearly indicate a positive ROI.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Pricing, setup cost, and licensing were very easy and straightforward.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I evaluated Ahrefs, Semrush, and Searchmetrics, among others.

What other advice do I have?

I would advise others to purchase SISTRIX. Begin with the smallest SEO package if there are any doubts, and the value of the tool will soon become evident. Additionally, I would rate SISTRIX a 10 out of 10 because the tool performs what it is supposed to do for a fair price and is very reliable.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud
