Centralized SEO research has streamlined competitor analysis and guided ongoing keyword strategy
In my opinion, the best features Ahrefs offers include competitor analysis and the keyword ranking tool. While using these tools, we can find out where we need to work. If we have a few keywords, we can determine which keywords we need to prioritize, enabling us to work easily. The competitor analysis tool helps me decide which keywords to prioritize. For example, in a local context such as finding a good pizza restaurant, I would search for "best pizza in [area]", and a few restaurants will appear in the results. We need to identify which one is the top one, two, or three for those keywords. If a business owner wants to create a new local restaurant, we will ensure a strong search engine presence for them due to the insights gained from competitor analysis and keyword ranking. Ahrefs has positively impacted our organization because it provides a clear picture of what we need to do and what our planning will be for a week or day, helping us determine our growth on search engines such as Google and Bing. Since using Ahrefs, we have tracked the traffic on the website as a specific outcome we have seen improve.

Targeted content has increased AI search visibility and drives informed buyer intent strategies
The best features Scrunch AI offers that really stand out to me include automatically assigning the prompts to the buying cycle, whether it's awareness, consideration, decision, and providing the intel on where it's pulling its sources and how it's generating the response. The automatic buying cycle assignment works for me in practice by helping with strategy, so I can focus on those consideration and decision-making prompts first and foremost, get those solid, and then go back and work on awareness. Scrunch AI has positively impacted our organization because it's helped us increase our visibility in AI search for the prompts and the areas that we care about. We saw a 100% improvement where we weren't getting mentioned at all to getting mentioned every single time by using the intel from Scrunch AI to then build out that appropriate content and place it on the appropriate site. We got a 100% increase in improvement. It's also giving us insight into where we are still struggling, and we can go make those decisions and those changes with data and intelligence.
