The agent can query Site Explorer data including Domain Rating, backlink counts, referring domains, and organic keyword positions. It also accesses Keywords Explorer for search volume, keyword difficulty, and traffic potential. Essentially, anything available via Ahrefs API becomes conversationally accessible.

You train the agent on your preferred explanations. When someone asks about Domain Rating, it does not just return '67', it can explain that this is a strong authority score, above average for the industry, suggesting the site has a solid backlink profile. Context makes the data actionable.

Yes, each query the agent makes uses your Ahrefs API credits according to their standard pricing. The integration does not add extra charges, but Ahrefs bills API usage separately from their main plans. Monitor your credit usage in your Ahrefs dashboard.

Absolutely. Using Ahrefs' batch analysis endpoint, your agent can pull Domain Ratings, backlink totals, and traffic estimates for up to 100 domains at once. Ask 'Compare these five competitor sites' and get a formatted comparison table in seconds.

Ahrefs API access requires an API subscription, which is separate from standard Ahrefs plans. Contact Ahrefs sales for API pricing. Enterprise customers often have API access bundled. Without API access, this integration will not work, even on premium Ahrefs subscriptions.

The agent pulls live data from Ahrefs' API, which reflects their most recent crawl. Ahrefs updates their backlink index continuously and recrawls the web constantly. Your queries return the same freshness you would see logging into Ahrefs directly.

Yes. In your Tars tool configuration, you can enable or disable specific Ahrefs capabilities. If you only want the agent to check Domain Ratings but not pull full backlink lists, disable the backlinks endpoint. Granular control ensures the agent fits your workflows.

Dashboards require logging in, navigating menus, and interpreting raw data. The AI agent answers natural language questions like 'What is Nike's domain rating?' or 'Find keywords under difficulty 20 about running shoes.' It is the difference between searching and asking. Teams who are not SEO experts can self-serve without training on Ahrefs.
