Every competitor page, every keyword they rank for, every backlink they earn, every content piece they publish, every schema they deploy, pulled daily, scored weekly, summarized in a briefing your strategist reads before the meeting.

07Intelligence FAQ
Common questions about competitor intelligence.
Ahrefs gives you raw data in a dashboard. We deliver synthesized intelligence in a weekly briefing. The synthesis is the value, knowing what moved, what matters, and what to do about it, instead of staring at graphs.
Typically 5 to 10 direct competitors, 20 to 30 adjacent competitors, and 10 to 15 category leaders. We tune the set with you at kickoff and adjust quarterly.
Content velocity, keyword coverage, backlink profile, technical posture, product and messaging, AI visibility. Six lenses scored weekly, summarized in plain English.
24 hours for most signals. Our crawler runs daily. Rank changes, new content publish, schema deploys, and AI citation shifts all surface within a day.
Yes. Every briefing ends with three recommended plays, content, technical, PR, or AI citation. Not vague suggestions; specific moves your team can execute this sprint.
We track publicly available signals. Private dashboards, paid tools, and closed platforms are not in scope. If a page, keyword, or link is public, we watch it.
No. Our crawlers respect robots.txt and look like any standard browser. We do not scrape, we read.
Gap-queries captured, content lifted, backlinks earned from opportunities we flagged, AI citations recovered from competitor dominance. Measurable wins tied to briefings.
