Curious—has anyone compared Google Search Console vs Ahrefs data accuracy for keyword clicks lately? I noticed GSC under-reports some branded queries.

It depends on the purpose you're going to use it for. Ahrefs is great for research; however, GSC gives accurate data, as Google knows it.

GSC data is more reliable. It's easy to manipulate keyword data on Ahrefs.
