SEO is very important as it decides the amount of traffic you will be getting. For example, people only tend to visit links on the first page of google and rarely visit the second page. So, the first three links get 70% clicks and hence the maximum amount of traffic than others. Hence, SEO is very important for you.

USING AHREFS
Do remember, Ahrefs is not just a tool but a suite of SEO tools, and I’m covering just a few of them here and others you need to discover yourself by playing with Ahrefs.
AHREFS KEYWORD EXPLORER
Ahrefs Keyword Explorer lets you perform keyword research on the following platforms:
Google
YouTube
Amazon
Bing
Yahoo
Yandex
Baidu
The keyword explorer is complemented by Keyword list feature which let you save the keywords that you search for future reference.
You can also use the pre-built filter on the left side to populate more keywords.
CONTENT GAP
This feature lets you find profitable keyword opportunities.
You can quickly compare your domain with your competitors to find out what keywords they are ranking for, and you are not. This is another great way to find profitable keywords by performing Competitor Analysis. Now, we are talking about Ahrefs but I should mention that there is also an excellent tool on Neil Patel’s blog that helps you know more about any domain’s organic keywords, traffic and paid ads status. You can visit that page here.
AHREFS CONTENT EXPLORER
This feature is designed for finding link opportunities and competitor analysis. Content Explorer by Ahrefs also lets you find the most popular content around any topic or from any website.
In the search box, you can type any topic, and it will show you the most shared content on the web. You can also pick from available filters or put some domain names to refine your search.
You also may be able to find trending topics on other’s website and broken links(this will help in creating backlinks to your blog/website).
Site Audit

Ahrefs site audit tools require you to add a domain name and it crawls your website(we’ll see what that means in a minute) just like Google does to give you suggestions that you can implement to improve your site’s overall SEO.
