How to create a dashboard report with Ahrefs SEO tool

1 – Connect your account

Connecting Ahrefs to DashThis requires 2 quick steps.

• – In the Integration Manager, choose Ahrefs and click on Add.

• – You’re then redirected to Ahrefs. Sign in as usual.

The integration is now added to your DashThis account!

1.2 – Add the sources

Now that DashThis has access to your data, you have to add your sources manually.

– You land on a page asking for your client’s information:

Give your source a name: It can be anything you want. This name will be how your client will be designated in our tool.

Provider Key: It’s the website URL.

Please note that HTTP and HTTPS sites are tracked separately by Ahrefs. Therefore, you need to add both as sources in DashThis to track them. If you omit the “http” or “https” of an URL,  both results in your source will show in your data (e.g., http://example.com, or http://www.example.com, or https://example.com, or https://www.example.com).

 2 – KPIs, metrics, and dimensions

The following standard KPIs are available from the Preset widgets drop down menu:

• • Anchor text used
• • Domain Rating
• • External backlinks
• • Referring Domains

The available metrics and dimensions are:

Metrics

• • Domain Rating
• • Referring Domains
• • Backlinks

Dimensions

• • Anchor Text

Unfortunately, the Ahrefs' API doesn't provide precise KPIs allowing DashThis to import your keyword ranking data into your reports.

We are constantly following the updates made by Ahrefs in order to eventually add those metrics once they are available in the API.

There is no historical data in the Ahrefs’ API. Don’t worry we got your back! We keep your historical data in the system starting at the moment you create any Ahrefs widget, so your number can evolve over time.
