Compares keyword rankings and organic search performance with competitors.
Why this helps
Competitor names and websites sit in reports, while search comparisons require starting another research session.
- Reuse a documented competitor set
- Compare search performance in Ahrefs
- Keep target and competitor assumptions explicit
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda and Ahrefs once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in plain language or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Ask Notis to identify the target website and named competitors in the report supplied with the request, then retrieve the Ahrefs competitors overview.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and report destination.
- 5Test with one real report and verify the target and competitors before interpreting results.
Questions about this workflow
Can the automation select a target website if the report omits one?
No. The target domain must be supplied in the report or request. Otherwise Notis should flag it as missing.
Does Ahrefs' overview prove a competitor is commercially relevant?
It provides search competition context. Commercial relevance still depends on your market and business goals.
