I am also curious about this but I wonder how reliable the results would be if the data is only being manipulated in Ahrefs Would be interested to know if anyone has tested this recently and what the actual benefit was

For legitimate automation, it would be better to use Ahrefs’ available API/features where applicable, or build a bot around your own data and workflows rather than trying to manipulate the service itself.

Ahrefs gets search volume from real clickstream panel data, so standard search bots won't change those metrics.
Here is what you need to know:
Bots Don't Work: Ahrefs tracks specific user panel activity. Raw bot traffic through proxies gets filtered out instantly.
Build Real Volume: The only way to increase branded search metrics is to drive real users to search your brand name through ads, PR, or social campaigns.

I’d avoid trying to manipulate Ahrefs with bots or proxies. It’s better to focus on genuine traffic and links, as manipulated data can be unreliable and risky.

If you're trying to test Ahrefs at scale, I'd avoid trying to manipulate or bypass their systems. For legitimate automation, their API or approved data sources would be the safer route. It also makes the setup more stable than relying on bots and rotating proxies.

ahrefs traffic isnt real traffic, its a formula. rankings x search volume x CTR, summed. ahrefs literally never sees who visits your site. so a bot cant "add traffic" to it, theres nothing to add to. only thing that moves it is actual rankings. branded volume side is clickstream + keyword planner and bot queries get filtered as noise. not worth the setup imoo
tbh fake Ahrefs growth is just a vanity metric. Better to build actual brand searches through content, social, PR, and user demand — those signals usually follow naturally.
