How To Use Ahrefs for Keyword Research

Updated on:
April 6, 2026
By:
Madhav Bhandari
Interact with this step-by-step demo to discover how to leverage Ahrefs for comprehensive keyword research.

‍

Here's a step by step tutorial on how to do keyword research on Ahrefs:

  1. Google Search the category/niche you are in. (E.g. Interactive Demo Software)
  2. Find a competitor that offers the same product/services that you do and copy their domain name.
  3. Now go to Ahrefs>Site Explorer.
  4. Search for the domain you copied. (Your competitor's domain)
  5. You can see their Ahrefs stats like Domain Rating, Backlinks, Traffic, etc over there.
  6. Click on the number that shows up their Organic Keywords. (E.g. 7.9K keywords)
  7. A page with a lot of keywords will pop up. These are your competitors keywords.
  8. Click on Position to sort the keywords based on their ranking on Google. These are their top ranking keywords.
  9. Click on Traffic to sort the keywords based on their page traffic. These keywords have driven the most traffic to their website.
  10. Hit the Export button and export it as CSV so you can select the most relevant keywords for your product/service.

📌 Why this matters

Competitor keyword analysis reveals the exact search terms already driving traffic to businesses like yours, giving you a proven roadmap instead of guessing what might work. You're essentially reverse-engineering successful SEO strategies that competitors have already tested and validated with real traffic data.

Beyond finding new keywords, you discover content gaps in your own strategy and spot emerging trends in your niche before they become saturated. This approach saves months of trial-and-error testing since you're building on keywords with demonstrated commercial value.
