Everyone has a tool they can’t work without.
A MUT for Most Useful Tool.
I think we don’t talk enough about these.
Mine is Ahrefs.
Another central piece in my toolbox ecosystem could have been Zapier.
But the perceived value of the tool is different. Ahrefs can help me learn
which page, search query, or SERP will impact the bottom line.
Taking their online course on keywords research some years ago was the defining moment that got me to become a true power user.
This video course was probably the best combination of how to solve a business problem with the right tool as the answer that I have taken.
How I use it in most of my projects
Is this website getting any traffic?
For any website that I discover, I want to know if anyone else visits them and how they find it.
Which pages bring the most value
What are the whale pages that bring the major part of the traffic for this site and which keyword is it associated with?
What are my competitors doing with content and paid ads?
Track regularly or check a new entering competitor. Do they target anything I am not working on at the moment?
Rank tracker
When I put some work into my pages, is it moving anything in terms of search results ranking?
Tiny content pieces
Which video, tweet, or a small bite of content can be interesting to a group of readers. Find the questions that are crying for answers across all platforms.
And you what’s yours?
