How businesses use Ahrefs + Lyro

Each card is one request a support team gets, and the Ahrefs actions Lyro runs to close it.

  • Audit a site's backlink profile

    Lyro pulls the full backlink list for a domain or URL, the referring domains sitting behind those links, and the summary statistics on top, so a link-building conversation starts from the current profile.

    Fetch All BacklinksFetch Site Explorer Referring DomainsBacklinks Stats Retrieval

  • Research a keyword before anyone writes for it

    Lyro returns the overview for a keyword, splits its search volume across countries, and expands into related and matching terms, so a content brief is built on demand that actually exists.

  • Track how a site's authority is moving

    Lyro charts Domain Rating over time, the site's Site Explorer metrics across the same window, and the URL Rating history for an individual page, so a change is measured rather than felt.

  • Find what to fix and who to beat

    Lyro lists the broken backlinks pointing at a site so they can be reclaimed, names the sites competing for the same organic rankings, and ranks pages by estimated organic search traffic.

How it works

Get started in 3 steps

Connect once, then just ask. There is no workflow builder to learn and nothing to maintain — Lyro reads the Ahrefs actions it has and picks the ones a request needs.

  1. 01

    Connect Ahrefs

    Authorize the Ahrefs account your team already uses — one consent screen, no API keys, no mapping tables. Lyro can only do what you granted that account, and you can disconnect it at any time.

  2. 02

    Tell your agent what you need

    Describe the job the way you would hand it to a teammate. Lyro maps it to the Ahrefs actions that close it and chains as many as the request needs.

  3. 03

    Watch it work

    The agent runs the actions inside the conversation the customer is already in, so nobody copies data between tabs and your team can take over at any point.

Everything else about Ahrefs

Setup, permissions, and the limits of what Lyro can do inside Ahrefs.

  • The subscription behind the connected account. Retrieve Subscription Limits and Usage returns the current limits and how much of them has been spent, so the cost of a heavy Site Explorer or Keywords Explorer run is visible before it happens rather than after the allowance is gone.
