I’ve been using SEMrush for KW research and Ahrefs for back links and content gaps as my third-party SEO tool stack for ages now. Google Search Console and Analytics are accurate, but clunky and overwhelming so I prefer Looker Studio custom dashboard. And, I also rely heavily on Microsoft Clarity.
Then there are other specialised tools or plugins that I use on need basis.
I’ve found all these tools to be accurate for the specific purpose I use them for.
And I keep distance from Ubbersuggest
It really depends on how much you are welling to invest, Ahrefs is very good, but it depends on your budget. Do you have limitations on how much you are welling to invest?
The reality is that all of tools pull data from various sources and make guesses.
I’ve seen wildly different numbers using any of these SEO tools.
Usually the mix of industry knowledge with known common questions and doing some keyword research are key to making the right choice for keywords to target.
Google does.

Unless you’re using Adobe Analytics, GA4 and GSC should always be your single source of truth.
Period.
If we wanted to check reliability of the data, what would we compare it to?
Ahrefs has the closest data by far to me
The pricing is ridiculous. Ahrefs was 99 per month per platform. But the just raised it to $199.
Semrush is 99 per domain per month.
I just bought a SE Rankings subscription for $119 a month that includes multiple platforms. Trying it out now.
Semrush
Ahrefs?
I see u/WebLinkr reshared this.
