Onboarding

Hey Emre, 
 
 Welcome to Ahrefs Webmaster Tools (AWT) – a set of tools that offers you free website analytics, technical audits, and SEO metrics for your verified websites. 
 Like Google Search Console, you’ll need to create a project (website) and verify it to gain access to the data, features, and tools. In case you missed the features, here’s how AWT stacks up against GSC.

 Note: The quickest way is to connect your Google Search Console. 
 After you’ve verified your website, I’ll send you a workflow video for Site Audit and some actionable SEO use cases to get immediate value from AWT. 
 Chat soon, Sam  P.S. You can also plan and schedule social media posts for free with the Social Media Manager tool included in AWT.
