Ahrefs Scores AI Drafts Against Current Top Pages
Ahrefs added an AI Content Grader inside its writing workspace. The grader compares any draft to the top ten ranking results for the same keyword. It returns a numerical score plus missing subtopics and term gaps.
Marketers gain an external benchmark instead of guessing optimization quality. The score reveals whether an AI draft meets current SERP standards before publication. This shifts review from subjective opinion to data-driven comparison.
Ahrefs customers include the content teams at Zapier and HubSpot. These teams report cutting revision time by half after adopting the grader on every AI-assisted post.
Step 1: Log into Ahrefs and open the AI Writing Tool at ahrefs.com/writing. Step 2: Paste your draft and select the target keyword for grading. Step 3: Review the score and missing topics list, then add the flagged subtopics until the grade improves.
