Backlinks that make money
Backlinks are only worth what they bring. Glow puts referring domains next to clicks and revenue per product, so you can tell a link-building service that works from one that just moves a number.
What Glow shows from Ahrefs
Referring domains and DR
Per product, week over week.
Links to clicks to revenue
Joined with Search Console and Stripe per channel.
Service ROI
“+11 referring domains, 0 clicks, $0” on a directory blast is a lever, not a win.
Exactly what Glow can access
Glow asks for an Ahrefs API v3 key (Lite plan and above).
- Site Explorer GET endpoints only
- Subscription limits and usage (to cap the units Glow spends)
How Glow checks it
Glow checks the key against the limits-and-usage endpoint and caps API units per day, because units cost you money.
Honest note. The Ahrefs API needs the Lite plan ($129/mo) or above. Most founders start with Search Console and free Ahrefs Webmaster Tools, and Glow works fine that way.

Ahrefs + Glow: questions
Is Ahrefs required?
No. Search Console covers clicks and queries for free. Ahrefs adds backlinks if you already pay for it.
Can I disconnect Ahrefs later?
Any time. Remove the connection in Glow and the sealed key is destroyed; revoke it at Ahrefs too if you like. Your history stays until it expires.
