What users say

Pros

  • Rank tracking and basic keyword research sit in one platform at a price that suits tighter agency budgets.
  • Holds up over years of daily SEO work without needing a replacement, backed by fast, helpful support replies.
  • Daily prompt checks run on schedule and the AI visibility dashboard shows results in a readable layout.

Cons

  • Paid AI visibility plan listed Perplexity tracking that was later confirmed wrongly advertised and never delivered, with no refund.
  • Backlink data exports as a raw list with no client-ready summary of referring domains, authority or follow-nofollow split.
  • Rank tracking produced complete failures with no data for days during a week when keyword trackers crashed.
  • Identical local AI Mode queries swing sharply between back-to-back pulls, so single-pull visibility reports carry heavy noise.
  • Content work stops at data tables, with no automated keyword-to-article brief workflow to get pages published.
