Deliver a weekly Ahrefs rank tracker overview on autopilot
Checking rankings is one of those tasks that only happens when you happen to remember it, which means it rarely happens. Notis takes it off your plate by running on a schedule and pulling your Ahrefs rank tracker overview so a fresh ranking snapshot shows up whether or not it crossed your mind.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
