Ahrefs + Ezoic Integration: Track Keyword Rankings Directly in Leap Dashboard

Ahrefs + Ezoic Integration: Track Keyword Rankings Directly in Leap Dashboard

Let’s be real for a sec: managing SEO on one dashboard, ad revenue on another, and keyword tracking on yet another tool? That’s a productivity nightmare 🧠💥.

But what if you could track your keyword rankings inside the same dashboard you use to manage ads, page speed, and earnings? That’s what I’m about to show you — how to pull off an actual Ahrefs + Ezoic integration, so your Leap dashboard becomes your all-in-one money machine.

This isn’t your typical “how to use Ahrefs” guide.

This one’s different:

  • It plugs a gap literally no one’s filled yet (zero guides on this)

  • I’ll walk you through real Zapier automation steps

  • And I’ll show you how to track ranking + revenue in the same dang place (without switching 9 tabs)

Let’s get messy 🔧


Why Even Bother Integrating Ahrefs and Ezoic?

Because if you’re running a content site in 2025, data fatigue is real.

You’ve got:

  • Google Search Console showing you impressions

  • Ahrefs telling you rankings

  • Ezoic (Leap) showing page-level earnings

  • Analytics showing user behavior

  • And spreadsheets doing mental gymnastics to connect all of them.

Here’s the truth 👉 Money doesn’t come from rankings alone. You need to know:

  • What keywords are ranking

  • What those pages are earning

  • Whether to update, delete, or double-down

This integration solves that.
You’ll see rankings from Ahrefs, connected to your Ezoic-earning pages… inside Leap.
No more spreadsheets. No more guessing which blog post is silently making bank.


What This Integration Will Look Like (In Plain English)

After we’re done:

  • Your Leap dashboard will display keyword rankings pulled from Ahrefs

  • You’ll be able to match each keyword to an article, and each article to actual ad revenue

  • You’ll set up an automation (via Zapier) that updates this automatically, daily or weekly

  • You’ll finally have a damn dashboard that shows you what’s working and what’s not

Here’s a visual (placeholder below, replace with your actual screenshot):

The Tools You’ll Need (Don’t Worry, They’re Free to Start)

  • Here’s the toolbox:
  • Ahrefs Keywords Explorer (even free accounts can export some ranking data)

  • Ezoic Leap (make sure it’s active + set to monitor URLs)

  • Google Sheets (as a connector)

  • Zapier (for automation)

  • One-time setup = about 45 minutes
    Time saved later? Hours per month.


Step 1: Export Your Keyword Rankings from Ahrefs

Let’s first get your rankings.

Go to Ahrefs > Keywords Explorer

Search your domain or any key article.

  1. Hit the “Organic Keywords” report.

  2. Filter by Top 50 positions (or however aggressive you wanna be).

  3. Export to CSV.

  4. Format it so you have:

Keyword Position URL Volume KD Date

📸 [Insert Screenshot: Ahrefs export window with filters]

Save it in Google Sheets. Call it:
📂 Ahrefs_Rankings_Ezoic.xlsx
Or something less boring. Up to you.


Step 2: Connect Google Sheets to Zapier

Now we’ll automate this.

Inside Zapier:

  • Create a new Zap

  • Trigger: New File in Google Drive (Ahrefs CSV)

  • Action: Update Row in Ezoic Data Sheet

You’re basically telling Zapier:
“Every time I update my Ahrefs rankings sheet, go add those rankings into a dashboard I can view inside Leap.”

(We’ll get to how to make it visible in Leap below)

Pro Tip:
Use Zapier’s Schedule trigger if you want to automatically check once a week.


Step 3: Get Page-Level Revenue Data from Leap (The Secret Sauce)

Now go into your Leap dashboard.

Under Big Data Analytics > Landing Pages
Export the report. It gives you:

| URL | Pageviews | EPMV | Earnings | Load Time | Bounce Rate |

This is money info. Literal money.

Merge this sheet with your Ahrefs rankings sheet using URL as the key.

What you get is magic:

| Keyword | Rank | URL | EPMV | Earnings | Volume | KD |

Now you see:
“Hey, I rank #4 for ‘low competition niches’, it’s making $12 EPMV — I should write more of that stuff.”


Step 4: Automate the Full Pipeline

Here’s the full Zapier chain:

  1. Trigger: New CSV from Ahrefs exported to Google Drive

  2. Action: Format + clean columns via Formatter

  3. Action: Look up matching URLs in Leap earnings sheet

  4. Action: Create a combined Google Sheet (that feeds your reporting)

  5. Bonus: Send it to your email, or even Telegram (if you’re fancy)

Step 5: View Inside Leap (Advanced Only)

Okay, let’s be real — Leap doesn’t natively let you pull in Ahrefs data.

But you can do a workaround:

  • Set up a custom dashboard in Looker Studio (Data Studio)

  • Connect the merged Google Sheet as a data source

  • Embed it inside Leap via Leap’s Custom Widgets or Reporting iframe tool

Too advanced? Skip it.
Otherwise, here’s a 1-line summary:

“Use Looker Studio to mash your SEO + revenue together. Embed the dashboard into Leap using Leap’s reporting view.”

What You Can Track After Integration

Here’s where it gets fun. With this full setup, you can:

  • Track keyword drops before traffic tanks

  • Spot high-EPMV articles with low rankings (easy updates!)

  • Find keywords with zero RPM — delete them or repurpose

  • See ranking changes vs. revenue changes side-by-side

Basically… you’re no longer guessing.

You’re optimizing based on:
✅ Rankings
✅ Revenue
✅ Velocity

You’re now running your blog like a mini media company.


Future-Proof It: Add These Enhancements (Optional)

  1. Originality Score column via Originality.AI API

  2. Word count from your CMS (using WP REST API)

  3. Image-heavy pages (flagging slow Leap pages)

  4. Top 10 keyword alerts (Zapier sends Slack DM if you hit top 10)

Wanna go even further?
Use OpenAI API inside Sheets to write next-topic suggestions based on high-EPMV posts.


Final Thoughts (The Rant)

Here’s the realest part of this whole guide:

If you’re blogging in 2025 and not connecting the dots between SEO and earnings, you’re stuck in 2019.

Most bloggers are still:

  • Writing content blindly

  • Obsessing over positions instead of profits

  • Ignoring page-level RPM

But the game has changed.
AI isn’t just changing how we write — it’s changing how we analyze.

And this integration? It’s your unfair advantage.
Because when others are looking at “Rank #1” — you’re looking at Rank #1 + $18 EPMV.

And that’s a whole different flex.


TL;DR – The Integration Steps in 60 Seconds

  1. Export keyword rankings from Ahrefs

  2. Export earnings from Ezoic Leap

  3. Combine both in Google Sheets

  4. Automate with Zapier

  5. (Optional) View inside Leap via embedded Looker dashboard

You now track which keywords are making you money. Not just traffic.
And that’s how you scale smarter.
