Keyword volume on AHREFS

Hello BHW,

How accurate is the keyword volume tool on Ahrefs?

In my experience it's usually inflated, sometimes by bit, sometimes by a lot. Get two extensions "Keyword Surfer" (FREE) and "Keywords Everywhere" (PAID, only $10 for a ton of credits). Then compare the volumes and make an educated guess.
 
Try to use many different sources and estimate based on all the tracking tools
 
Try Google Adwords for the better keyword search volume and am not recommended other seo tools
 
For me it's accurate.. SEmrush does same. But i like Ah refs competition difficulty. : )
 
All these tools are somehow accurate..
You can’t relay on only 1 tool.
 
I think it is quite accurate, you also have to look ate the clicks, for example you could have 1 search term with 8k search volume and 9k clicks on the results, and a nother could be 8k volume with 6k clicks on the results
 
Ahrefs is most accurate. Others including google keyword planner are big liars.
 
I think it differs from niche to niche.
In my niche for example, Ahrefs is not accurate at all. Sometimes you can get 600 monthly clicks from KW that reports 0 or 10 monthly searches in Ahrefs...

Instead of relying on tools, try to use common sense. Learn something about the niche of your choice, and, looking at different keywords, think whether people can be realistically looking for them.
 
Just as any other tools, it's an estimate.
Cross check between multiple tools for more clarity. I favour Ubersuggest and kwfinder for the same.
 
No tool will provide you accurate results of the latest, everyone has their own set of algorithms to measure the metrics. For keyword volume, the most successful tool is ubersuggest from the SEO legend Neil Patel.
 
Almost always shows more than what's really happening. IMHO if you really want to find out how much traffic sits on a keyword the only way is to PPC page one it for a day and see.
 
When using G KW Planner, be sure to increase each keywords CPC to the max $ limit to get the most accurate impressions and click stats.
