Put demographic context behind your Ahrefs market research
Turn keyword opportunities into a clearer picture of the places and populations they may serve.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action

Why this helps
Market research can reveal search demand without showing who lives in a target geography or how local conditions differ.
- Pair market research with Census estimates in one repeatable review.
- Compare selected geographies using user-specified variables.
- Get a run report with findings and gaps to follow up on.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ahrefs and Census bureau once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to review Ahrefs keyword and site research for your target areas, then retrieve ACS five-year estimates for the geographies and variables you specify.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real market area and confirm the report includes sources, caveats, and missing inputs.
Questions about this workflow
Which Census data does this workflow retrieve?
It uses ACS five-year estimates. Specify the geography, year, and variables in your instruction; Notis can flag missing inputs.
Does Ahrefs automatically identify the target geographies?
No trigger event is available from Ahrefs here. A schedule starts the workflow, and your instruction should name the areas or explain how to identify them from available Ahrefs research.
Can the report prove local search demand?
Census estimates add demographic context. They do not measure search demand, so interpret them alongside the Ahrefs research.
