Tips for Clean Exports

• Ahrefs exports can be large — use filters to narrow down to relevant data before exporting (e.g., only keywords with 100+ monthly search volume)
• Backlink exports include a Domain Rating (DR) column which is useful for quality assessment in clariBI analysis
• For Rank Tracker, export weekly snapshots rather than daily to keep file sizes manageable for trend analysis
