Index Ahrefs data in LlamaIndex

Call `get_serp_overview` and pipe the results into your vector store. LlamaIndex turns these search results into a searchable history of your rankings. This lets you query your historical performance. You get answers grounded in your actual API data instead of generic SEO advice.

Perform semantic search on Ahrefs metrics

Use `list_top_pages` to feed your index with your best-performing content. Your agent can then compare these results against your internal documents. It effectively turns your SEO reports into a queryable database. You ask questions about your site health and get precise answers derived from live API calls.

Ground your RAG agent with Ahrefs

Combine `get_keyword_volume_history` with your internal sales data in the index. Your RAG setup can now correlate search trends with your own revenue logs. This builds a unified view of your business. Your agent uses this combined knowledge to draft reports that actually reflect your current market position.
