Ahrefs Organic Keywords

Fetches top organic keywords a domain ranks for, sorted by estimated traffic (highest-value keywords first).

References

@skills/seo/references/mcp-degradation.md @skills/seo/references/ahrefs-api-reference.md

Inputs

domain: The bare domain to analyze (e.g., example.com). Strip https://, http://, and trailing slashes before passing to Ahrefs tools.

MCP Check

Before proceeding, verify Ahrefs MCP is available:

Use ToolSearch with query +ahrefs
If tools are returned → Ahrefs MCP is available, proceed to Execution
If no tools returned → display the Ahrefs MCP error template from references/mcp-degradation.md and stop

Execution

Step 1 — Call Organic Keywords

Call mcp__claude_ai_ahrefs__site-explorer-organic-keywords with:

target: the bare domain (e.g., example.com)

Returns per keyword: keyword, position, volume, cpc (CENTS), traffic, traffic_percent

Step 2 — CRITICAL: Monetary Conversion

cpc is returned in CENTS. Divide by 100 before display. Format as USD per click: $X.XX.

Example: API returns cpc = 250 → display as $2.50/click

Step 3 — Sort and Cluster

Sort by traffic descending (highest-value keywords first)
Identify top 3 keyword clusters by topic (group keywords sharing root terms or intent — e.g., "seo tools", "seo software", "best seo tool" form one cluster)

Output Format

## Ahrefs Organic Keywords: example.com

### Top Keywords (by Traffic)

| Keyword | Position | Search Volume | CPC | Est. Traffic | Traffic % |
|---------|----------|--------------|-----|-------------|-----------|
| seo tools | #3 | 22,000 | $4.50/click | 3,200 | 12.4% |
| best seo software | #5 | 8,100 | $6.20/click | 890 | 3.5% |
| keyword research tool | #8 | 5,400 | $3.10/click | 410 | 1.6% |

### Summary
- **Total organic keywords:** 12,450
- **Total estimated traffic:** 25,700 visits/mo

### Top Keyword Clusters
1. **SEO tools** — "seo tools", "best seo software", "seo tool comparison" (combined traffic: 4,500)
2. **Keyword research** — "keyword research tool", "find keywords", "keyword tracker" (combined traffic: 1,800)
3. **Backlink analysis** — "backlink checker", "check backlinks", "link analysis tool" (combined traffic: 1,200)

Error — Ahrefs MCP Not Available

If MCP check fails, display the Ahrefs error template from references/mcp-degradation.md:

## Ahrefs MCP Not Available

The `/seo ahrefs keywords` command requires the Ahrefs MCP, which is not
currently connected.

**What you can do:**
- Use `/seo audit <url>` for a full static SEO analysis without live Ahrefs data
- Use `/seo technical <url>` for technical SEO issues without backlink/keyword data

**To connect Ahrefs MCP:**
- Ensure the Ahrefs MCP is registered at user scope in ~/.claude/mcp.json
- Verify with: cat ~/.claude/mcp.json | grep -i ahrefs
- Ahrefs MCP must be registered at user scope (not project scope) to work in subagents
