AHREFS AGENCY: BUILD YOUR SEO STRATEGY THAT ACTUALLY RANKS

STEP 1: COMPLETE SEO AUDIT & COMPETITOR ANALYSIS

We start by auditing your current SEO situation and understanding who you’re competing against.

We analyze your backlink profile (referring domains, Domain Rating, anchor text distribution, toxic links), run a technical Site Audit to find crawl errors and on-page issues, check your organic traffic trends and top-ranking pages.

Then we deep-dive into competitors. We identify who ranks for your target keywords, analyze their backlink profiles (where they get links from, what content attracts links), study their content strategy (what they publish, what ranks, what drives traffic), and find content gaps (keywords they rank for but you don’t).

We also check your domain’s historical performance (traffic drops, algorithm impacts, ranking changes) to understand what happened before.

At the end of this step, you have a complete picture of where you stand, what competitors are doing better, and where opportunities are.

STEP 2: KEYWORD RESEARCH & CONTENT STRATEGY

We build your content strategy based on real Ahrefs data, not guesses.

We use Keywords Explorer to find keywords with real search volume that you can actually rank for (considering your Domain Rating and keyword difficulty). We analyze search intent (informational vs transactional vs navigational) to match content type to what searchers want.

We run content gap analysis to find keywords your competitors rank for but you don’t, prioritize quick wins (low difficulty, decent volume), and identify long-term targets (high volume, competitive, worth building authority for).

We also analyze your existing content. We find pages that rank but could rank better with optimization, identify pages getting traffic but not converting, and spot content that needs updating or pruning.

At the end of this step, you have a prioritized content calendar with exact keywords to target, search volume and difficulty for each, and content type recommendations.

STEP 3: LINK BUILDING & OPTIMIZATION

We execute link building campaigns that improve your Domain Rating and rankings.

We identify link opportunities using Ahrefs: sites linking to competitors but not you, broken links you can replace, resource pages in your niche, guest post opportunities on relevant high-DR sites.

We analyze which of your content attracts backlinks naturally (using Content Explorer), create linkable assets that people want to reference, and execute outreach campaigns to get placements.

We also audit your existing backlink profile. We identify toxic links hurting your rankings, disavow harmful backlinks, reclaim lost links (sites that used to link to you), and monitor new backlinks to spot negative SEO attacks.

We optimize internal linking structure using Ahrefs Site Audit recommendations to distribute PageRank effectively and help important pages rank better.

At the end of this step, your backlink profile is clean, growing with quality links, and your internal linking is optimized.

STEP 4: MONITORING & CONTINUOUS OPTIMIZATION

We track your progress and adapt strategy based on what works.

We set up rank tracking for your target keywords, monitor your Domain Rating and referring domains growth, track organic traffic trends and top-performing pages, and watch competitor movements (are they building more links? Publishing more content?).

We use Ahrefs Alerts with Make automation to get notified when you gain or lose backlinks, when competitors publish new content, when you get mentioned without a link (opportunity for outreach), and when technical issues appear on your site.

We analyze what’s working. We identify which content drives traffic and conversions, which keywords improved rankings, which link building tactics worked best, and where to double down.

We adjust strategy monthly based on data: update content that’s losing rankings, go after new keyword opportunities, pivot link building tactics if something’s not working.

At the end, you have a system that constantly improves rankings and adapts to what Google and competitors are doing.
