Ahrefs + Ceres
Connect Ahrefs to Ceres — your AI Growth Officer — so its specialist agents work from your real Ahrefs data. Track backlinks, keyword rankings, and competitor SEO data for your domain.
What Ceres does with Ahrefs
Your backlink profile, keyword rankings, and competitor SEO data for your domain.
Ceres reads from Ahrefs to inform its work. It does not write back to Ahrefs — this connection is read-only.
What Ceres reads from Ahrefs
- Your domain's backlink profile — total backlinks, unique referring domains, and the anchor text pointing at your site
- Domain Rating (DR) and URL Rating (UR) — Ahrefs' 0-100 measure of your backlink strength, tracked over time
- New and lost backlinks and referring domains, so you can see your link profile growing or eroding
- Your organic keyword rankings — which queries you rank for, current position, and position changes
- Estimated organic traffic and the top pages pulling it in
- Competitor SEO data — rival domains' DR, backlinks, referring domains, and the keywords they rank for
- Keyword and content-gap signals — terms competitors rank for that your domain does not yet cover
How Ceres uses Ahrefs
Once you connect Ahrefs, Ceres reads it on a schedule — pulling your backlink profile, Domain Rating, keyword rankings, and the same data for the competitors you care about. This connection is strictly read-only: Ceres looks at your Ahrefs data to understand where your domain stands, and it never writes, changes, or pushes anything back into Ahrefs. Every finding it surfaces is grounded in the exact numbers it read, so you can trace a recommendation back to the referring domain or ranking it came from.
Your SEO Expert turns that raw data into work: spotting which keywords are slipping in position, which competitor pages are out-ranking you and why, and where new or lost backlinks are moving your Domain Rating. Your GEO Strategist reads the same rankings and competitor visibility to judge how your domain shows up in answer engines and where authority gaps are holding you back. Both agents cite the Ahrefs figures behind every call, so a content brief or a link-building target arrives with the evidence already attached.
The honest value is a standing SEO-intelligence capability that runs for you without you logging into Ahrefs and reading dashboards yourself. Instead of a one-off audit, you get a continuous read on your backlinks, rankings, and competitive position — every observation cited back to the Ahrefs data it came from, so you always know exactly why a recommendation was made.
In practice
The SEO Expert cross-references Ahrefs keyword difficulty against your topic queue, so it prioritises posts you can realistically rank for this quarter — not vanity terms you can't.
