What differentiates Ahrefs from other similar products?
The Ahrefs auditing is in-depth and can able to get valuable insights from that. Easy to track broken links on a blog using Ahrefs
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Building backlinks is easier with Ahrefs. Of course we cannot use Ahrefs to build backlinks. Instead, using Ahrefs, we can find all the broken links in a blog and pitch our content to the blog owner to replace those broken links with (follow/no-follow) referral to our content.
What do you dislike most about this product?
It will be bit complex to understand the entire breadth of features within Ahrefs if you are a beginner. It would be great if Ahrefs provides a guidance/notifications within their workspace rather than youtube video tutorials.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Great SEO platform. Must try
