A big part of SEO isn’t strategy. It’s the menial, repeatable upkeep: re-running the weekly site audit, catching the post that quietly shed a third of its rankings, noticing the DR 80 backlink you lost last Tuesday, checking whether AI assistants still describe your product accurately.
All of this needs someone in the room, reliably, on a schedule, doing the same diligent checks every time. But it doesn’t need you particularly. It just needs to ping you when something’s worth your attention.
This is the part of SEO you can hand to Agent A.
Here are some of the best use cases you can get started with. We’ve already built most of them as skills or apps in Agent A, but I’ve also given you a starter prompt to use if you’d like to build them yourself.
What is Agent A?
Agent A is a marketing agent from Ahrefs—an AI assistant with direct access to the full Ahrefs dataset that can carry out marketing tasks autonomously, rather than just answer questions.

Agent A includes:
- Unrestricted access to Ahrefs endpoints. Every endpoint we use to build Ahrefs is available, including many you cannot reach via API or MCP.
- Serious tech stack underneath. Postgres for state, Flask for UIs, an OpenRouter proxy with 300+ models, web fetch with full-page parsing, PDFs, OCR, scheduled jobs.
- Native connectors to marketing tools. Slack, HubSpot, GitHub, Notion, Linear, Mailchimp, Resend, SendGrid, Stripe, Gong, WordPress, Airtable, Apify, and even Semrush.
- Expert skill library. The Ahrefs team has contributed pre-built marketing skills and applications that encode how we actually work.
