Ahrefs

We are a marketing platform founded in 2010. We help brands get discovered across search, AI, and the web.

We support both Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), providing tools to research demand, analyze competitors, find content opportunities, track backlinks, monitor performance, and measure visibility across search and AI. Our main tools, Brand Radar and Rank Tracker, cover areas like Brand & AI Search, Competitive Intelligence, Content Marketing, Local SEO, Social Media, and Reporting. We use AI to help with tasks such as tracking brand visibility across AI search and Large Language Models (LLMs), speeding up content production, optimizing for global markets, detecting AI-written content, and applying technical SEO fixes.

Our extensive data infrastructure includes 3 trillion external backlinks, 28 trillion internal backlinks, and 3 trillion HTML snapshots; altogether, we manage 320PB of data. We filter 28.7 billion keywords from 110 billion discovered keywords and cover over 217 countries. We also run our own search engine, Yep, which helps with our infrastructure and web crawling.

We serve marketing professionals from fast-moving startups to 44% of Fortune 500 companies. Our enterprise solutions offer API access with over 100 endpoints, integration with AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Copilot, custom reporting, and security features like single sign-on, two-factor authentication, and ISO27001 certification. We offer support through free courses, certifications, guides, live training, and customer service.

Our mission is to help marketers get their brands discovered online.

We operate by the motto: “First do it, then do it right, then do it better.” We emphasize thinking big, starting smart, and moving fast, valuing agility. We are committed to ensuring brand visibility as the web and search landscape evolve, including traditional search, social platforms, and emerging AI assistants. We foster a culture of moving fast, staying sharp, and adapting, while also valuing autonomy, informed decision-making, ownership, and driving progress.

We are a global team of 154 people working from 26 locations, with our headquarters in Singapore. We operate as a lean, multinational startup.

Our work environment is fast-moving with a flat hierarchy. We encourage independent decision-making and taking on new tasks. Our team is an “offbeat mix” of people from various backgrounds who share a passion for technology and challenges. We foster a low-ego culture where autonomy is central, valuing employees who make smart decisions, take ownership, and drive initiatives forward. We offer opportunities for growth and shaping meaningful work.

We offer an annual company retreat, a conference budget for professional development, and generous paid time off with a flexible vacation policy. Our Connect Program allows employees to spend two weeks each year working from our Singapore or Palo Alto offices. We also provide a modern office setup and a remote equipment budget to support home office needs.
