Frequently asked questions
Common questions about connecting Ahrefs and SEMrush.
Connect your Ahrefs and SEMrush accounts once, pick an action in one app and an action in the other, then map the fields so data flows automatically between them. [3]
Example: use Ahrefs's "Add a Keywords List" action to perform SEMrush's "Compare Backlink Summaries" action. Ahrefs has 57 actions (including Add a Keywords List, Add Competitors, and Create a Project); SEMrush has 60 actions (including Compare Backlink Summaries, Compare Domains, and Get API Unit Balance). Add filters and transforms between steps when you need them. [1]
Yes — pick an action in either app, then an action in the other, and map the fields between them. [2]
No. Ahrefs-to-SEMrush automations are built visually on the canvas. You can optionally add custom JavaScript with Functions when you need advanced logic. [4]
Yes. Trigger-based automations start the moment Ahrefs (or SEMrush) fires a new event — webhook-backed apps run within seconds, and polling-only apps re-check on a schedule you control. [7]
A first automation typically takes 5–10 minutes: connect each app's credential once, drop a trigger + action onto the canvas, map the fields, and turn the workflow on.
You can build your Ahrefs + SEMrush automation on a 3-day trial with every feature unlocked. Cancel anytime. For your protection, a small deposit is charged to your card when your trial starts. It counts toward your first payment and is non-refundable. [8]
