How it works

From connection to autonomous action in three steps

Connect

Connect your Ahrefs account via API token. Improvado authenticates read-only access to your projects, rank-tracking campaigns, and backlink index. No changes to your Ahrefs workspace or billing.

Ask

Ask natural-language questions about keyword movements, backlink acquisition, competitor gap analysis, or page-level SEO health. The agent pulls rank history, referring-domain counts, anchor-text breakdowns, and traffic estimates without you touching the Ahrefs UI.

Act

The agent creates monitoring rules for rank drops, schedules backlink-audit exports, flags broken backlinks on high-authority pages, and surfaces link-building targets based on competitor analysis. It writes findings directly into your BI dashboard or Slack.
