A new **AI Discoverability** issue category in Site Audit flags pages that AI crawlers such as ChatGPT or Claude cannot reach, read, or cite, which could keep those pages out of AI‑generated answers. The rollout will later include a score widget, a dedicated report, structured‑data tips, stale‑content detection, and more integrations.\n\nThe **Organic pages by type** widget in Site Explorer now breaks down traffic by page type—blog posts, tools, landing pages, etc.—so users can quickly see what drives a competitor’s visits. **Semantic filters** in Keywords Explorer let users match keywords by meaning, cutting manual filtering when researching brands with common words. **Bot Analytics** now connects directly to Vercel, Amazon CloudFront, and Fastly, simplifying log‑data setup. Finally, API and MCP unit limits have been doubled across all plans to remove bottlenecks for users pulling Ahrefs data into AI assistants and automated workflows.","keyPoints":["Ahrefs adds AI Discoverability category in Site Audit to flag pages AI crawlers cannot read.","New Organic pages by type widget in Site Explorer shows traffic sources by page type for any site.","API and MCP unit limits have been doubled on every Ahrefs plan as new endpoints are added."],"whyItMatters":"Ensuring AI crawlers can access content protects SEO visibility in emerging AI‑driven search, while the new widgets and higher limits streamline competitive analysis and AI‑powered workflows for marketers.","category":{"slug":"marketing","name":"Marketing & Small Business","url":"https://digestai.news/category/marketing"},"entities":{"companies":["Ahrefs","Vercel","Amazon CloudFront","Fastly"],"models":["ChatGPT","Claude"],"people":["Kamila"]},"firstPublishedAt":"2026-10-28T08:34:28Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-28T08:34:28Z","sourceCount":1,"hasPrimarySource":false,"sources":[{"outlet":"Ahrefs Blog","title":"AI Discoverability, Page types, and more (September 2026)","url":"https://ahrefs.com/blog/new-features-september-2026","publishedAt":"2026-10-28T08:34:28Z","type":"press","primary":false,"lead":true}],"sourceNotes":null,"discussions":[],"thread":null,"cite":{"text":"Digest AI, \"Ahrefs adds AI discoverability audit and page type widget to its SEO platform\", 28 October 2026, https://digestai.news/story/ahrefs-adds-ai-discoverability-audit-and-page-type-widget-to-its-seo-p","publisher":"Digest AI","title":"Ahrefs adds AI discoverability audit and page type widget to its SEO platform","datePublished":"2026-10-28T08:34:28Z","url":"https://digestai.news/story/ahrefs-adds-ai-discoverability-audit-and-page-type-widget-to-its-seo-p"},"generatedBy":"Written by Digest AI's editorial model from the linked sources; the sources are the record.","license":"Headlines, digests and key points are written by Digest AI and may be quoted with a link to the story page.
