Connect your Ahrefs account if you have one. No worries if you don’t; you can opt for a free Authorization code. The free code is temporary and expires every few weeks, so you’ll have to reconnect the plugin each time this happens. This connection to Ahrefs is needed to pull backlink stats for your articles.

Then, connect your GA and GSC accounts to pull rankings and traffic stats. <a href="https://help.ahrefs.com/en/articles/4666920-how-do-i-connect-google-analytics-search-console-to-the-plugin">Learn more</a>

Next, select article categories and pages to include or exclude from the audit. Exclude pages whose purpose is not to rank in organic search, such as "Privacy" or "About”. You can also schedule content audits to run automatically each day, week or month. All these settings can be changed later in Settings.

Voila, that’s it – you’re ready to use the plugin!
