What is Ahrefs’ email format?
Format | Example (fictional name: Maya Chen) | Share of known addresses | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
{first}.{last}@ahrefs.com | maya.chen@ahrefs.com | 88% (LeadIQ); 74% (Prospeo) | Current, standard |
{f}.{last}@ahrefs.com | m.chen@ahrefs.com | 23% (Prospeo) | Second most common at Prospeo |
{first}@ahrefs.com | maya@ahrefs.com | 6% (LeadIQ); 1% (Prospeo) | Rare |
{f}{last}@ahrefs.com | mchen@ahrefs.com | 3% (LeadIQ); 2% (Prospeo) | Rare |
{last}@ahrefs.com | chen@ahrefs.com | 3% (LeadIQ) | Rare |
LeadIQ puts {first}.{last} at 88% of Ahrefs addresses (LeadIQ) and Prospeo at 74% (Prospeo) (both checked Nov 4, 2026). Snov.io’s sample addresses are all first.last too (Snov.io). Prospeo’s runner-up is {f}.{last}, so if maya.chen@ bounces, try m.chen@ next.
Ahrefs’ own blog shows the pattern: a 2024 post ends with its author’s first.last address (Ahrefs). Some long-time staff predate it: CMO Tim Soulo has published his {first}{last} address on the blog for years (Ahrefs).
Why an email verifier may not confirm an Ahrefs address
Two of Ahrefs’ outreach guides, last updated in 2023, say that mail sent to a made-up address such as tim@ahrefs.com is “picked up by our catchall” (Ahrefs). A catch-all domain accepts mail for any name, so if it is still in place, an email verifier can only report an ahrefs.com address as “accept-all”, not valid. Treat a guessed address as unconfirmed even when it doesn’t bounce, and prefer a first.last address you’ve seen in use.
Which domains does Ahrefs use?
ahrefs.com: the website, the app and all staff email. Its mail runs on Google Workspace, and its DMARC policy is quarantine with strict alignment, so mail that fakes an @ahrefs.com sender should land in spam. Its SPF record also authorizes SendGrid, Intercom, Mailchimp and Greenhouse to send for it (DNS checked Nov 4, 2026).
yep.com: Ahrefs’ search engine. Its search API answers at support@yep.com and sales@yep.com (Yep).
letaido.com and firehose.com: Ahrefs’ AI marketing agents and its web-mentions API, each with its own support@ inbox.
ahrefsevolve.com: Ahrefs’ conference, which uses events@ahrefs.com (Ahrefs Evolve).
ahrefs.net: a hostname suffix for Ahrefs’ crawlers, alongside ahrefs.com (Ahrefs). No staff mail uses it.
Is that email really from Ahrefs?
In early 2026 a phishing campaign bought Google ads for “Ahrefs” that led to a near-perfect clone of its login page, hosted on Squarespace, Cargo and Neocities subdomains (Push Security). It stole Google logins, and some victims lost over $30,000 from their Google Ads accounts. Ahrefs’ advice: “If it’s not exactly ahrefs.com or accounts.google.com, stop.” (Ahrefs)
No discount codes. “We do not offer any promotional or discount codes,” Ahrefs says, and a subscription bought from a reseller can be blocked with no refund (Ahrefs).
No group buys. Shared “group buy” accounts break its terms, and Ahrefs bans them (Ahrefs). Sellers that use the name, such as “Ahrefs Group Buy” on X and LinkedIn, are not Ahrefs.
No recruiters. “Ahrefs does not engage with agencies or third-party recruitment providers” (Ahrefs). Real openings are on ahrefs.com/careers and applications go through Greenhouse (Ahrefs).
Check the domain after the @: genuine Ahrefs email comes from ahrefs.com, or from yep.com, letaido.com or firehose.com for those products.
Is that bot really AhrefsBot?
AhrefsBot is Ahrefs’ web crawler, and fake bots copy its name. Ahrefs publishes the IP addresses it crawls from, and the reverse DNS of a real AhrefsBot IP always ends in ahrefs.com or ahrefs.net (Ahrefs). It identifies itself as AhrefsBot/7.0, Cloudflare lists it as a verified bot, and it crawls from Singapore, the UK, France, Canada and Germany (Ahrefs). Complaints about crawling go to support@ahrefs.com.
What is Ahrefs’ official email address?
Ahrefs’ main support channel is the chat in its app and help center; its published addresses are all on ahrefs.com. It has no contact page, no sales inbox and no security inbox: enterprise buyers use the form on its Enterprise page.

Which other companies are called Ahrefs?
No other company is called Ahrefs. Similar names in contact databases include Ahrend, a Dutch office-furniture company, and “Ahrefs Group Buy” resellers. There is no “Ahrefs Inc.”: the company is Ahrefs Pte. Ltd. in Singapore. The name comes from the HTML link tag, a href, and Ahrefs says it is pronounced “H-refs” (Ahrefs).
