Ahrefs adds AI discoverability audits and page type data
Ahrefs pushed out five product updates in September 2026. The two that matter most for operators running SEO: a new AI Discoverability issue category inside Site Audit, and Page types now showing up in Site Explorer.
AI Discoverability in Site Audit
AI Discoverability is a brand-new issue category in Site Audit. According to the release notes, it surfaces issues that affect how well your site gets picked up by AI-powered search. If you’re trying to stay visible as traffic shifts from traditional SERPs toward AI overviews and chatbot citations, this gives you a dedicated checklist to work from.
Page Types in Site Explorer
Site Explorer now classifies pages by type. That kind of segmentation lets you compare performance across homepages, product pages, blog posts, and landing pages without building custom filters manually.
The Ahrefs team says there are three more updates in the September batch as well. Full breakdown is on the Ahrefs blog.
