FAQ

Six trust signals: Ahrefs authority profile (DR, referring domains, dofollow share), anchor text distribution and spam flags, Wayback Machine yearly history (casino, pharma, adult, parked, hacked), WHOIS ownership churn, live Google indexation status, and canonical recommendation based on backlink distribution.

Ahrefs API (authority, backlinks, anchors), Wayback Machine (historical content), WhoXY (registrar history), and live SERP providers (indexation). All data is deduplicated, cached, and capped per your plan.

We say so, bluntly. Severe Wayback risks (casino, pharma, adult, malware, hacked) cap the trust score. We never hide warnings, even in white-label mode.

Plan credits reset each billing cycle. Top-up credits are valid for 12 months and are consumed only after your monthly allowance is gone.

Yes, anytime, from the billing portal. You keep access until the end of the current period.

No. We pay for the Ahrefs API on your behalf. The cost is built into your plan.
