Why I like it: What I like most about Ahrefs, is how they visualize the keyword data they present, into super handy graphs and charts that I can use to make quick decisions.
Ahrefs is the OG of SEO tooling for content creators, and since my early days of blogging and content marketing work, I’ve never stopped using their tools.
