Questions
How is budgetSEO so much cheaper than Ahrefs Lite?
We focus on rank tracking, keyword research, competitor overviews, and competitor keyword alerts. Free accounts check rankings when you click. Starter and Pro update automatically, and every lookup is cached so we pay for data once and pass the savings on.
How accurate are the rankings?
We check Google’s live results for the exact country, language and device you choose, and report your exact organic position anywhere in the top 100.
What counts as a lookup?
A Keyword Explorer or Domain Overview search that is not already cached. Searches anyone ran in the last 1-3 days load instantly and do not count.
How do free rank checks work?
Free accounts track 15 keywords on one site and check them when you click. Each keyword can be refreshed every 30 days. Starter and Pro check automatically.
Can I track rankings daily?
Yes, on the Pro plan. Up to 100 of your ranking keywords can be rechecked every day, on top of automatic weekly updates for the rest of your list.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Manage or cancel your subscription in one click from the billing portal. Your data stays on the free plan.
