Ahrefs in numbers
Ahrefs team takes great pride in collecting, processing and storing large amounts of data for search marketing professionals.

We process large amounts of clickstream data to maintain the world's biggest third party database of search queries with refined monthly search volume and advanced keyword research metrics.
