Ahrefs SEO WordPress Plugin

Automate content audits, monitor backlinks, and grow organic traffic to your WordPress website.

Not another SEO plugin… well, not quite!

The Ahrefs SEO plugin is complementary to other SEO plugins and focuses on one task: automated content audits that kick back content suggestions.


Run a full content audit to optimize for organic traffic

Don’t let outdated pages die a slow, painful death. Get a clickable summary of under- and well-performing pages and understand the overall health of your content.


Suggested actions scale

Depending on a page’s performance, we’ll suggest different improvement actions.

  • Do nothing: If your article is ranking for its target keyword in Top 3.
  • Update: If your article is ranking for its target keyword in Top 3–20 and the target keyword is unique across all pages.
  • Merge: If your article is ranking for its target keyword in Top 3–20 and the target keyword is not unique across all pages.
  • Exclude: If your article is not ranking for its target keyword in Top 20 and traffic is above the traffic median of all analyzed pages.
  • Rewrite: If your article is not ranking for its target keyword in Top 20, but traffic is below the traffic median of all analyzed pages.

Understand how much traffic and backlinks your content gets everyday without leaving your WordPress admin.


Integration with GA and GSC

Ahrefs WP plugin doesn’t just pull GA and GSC data into your WordPress dashboard. But rather enhances it to provide you with better targeted keywords and content recommendations.

Each content audit combines data from Ahrefs, GA, and GSC - including:

  • Total traffic and organic traffic (GA)

  • Number of backlinks (Ahrefs)

  • Position of the article's target keyword (GSC)

  • Traffic median of all active articles included in the content audit (GA)

All GA and GSC data is stored in your website’s database - never sent to Ahrefs.


Integration with other SEO plugins

No need to enter target keywords if you have them preconfigured in complementary plugins - like Yoast, RankMath, or AIOSEO.

Ahrefs SEO plugin will pull and update them automatically with every content audit.
