You can add keywords that are important to you to their database (a certain number per day), that's a huge bonus for us because we are in a niche. They offer very good filters for all their reports.
At the beginning of a test it said there were 10,000 but the results only showed around 2000, wasnt sure was this because of duplicates, or limitations in the software. Either way it was misleading.
Beyond the clean interface and snappy, responsive design, the insight it gave me into my own link backs, and my competitors link backs were very helpful in planing future SEO moves.
When scrapping sites with lots of pages it seems to get lost a little.
Their pricing is very flexible and great for startups. Lastly, they also have a great blog that can help users to maximize the tool and to learn new strategies.
Originally, the volume of links found was inferior to other competitors, and keyword results were only a partial match, in comparison to Google Analytics.
If you suggest a feature, they will seriously consider it. The keyword research functionality is superb, this includes clustering, the ability to automate workflows using their API etc.
Completes my checklist didn't find any thing missing has of now.
I love how it guides you step by step in plain English on what you need to do in order to improve your search rank for the keywords you're currently ranking for or would like to rank for.
Furthermore, I ran into certain errors that I couldn't immediately troubleshoot due to inadequate documentation.
The competitor analysis tool is particularly useful and gives great insight into the pages and words they are outperforming you on.
The downside is the tool doesn't always get it right.
The quality of their customer service was also impressive, as I was able to efficiently get in touch with an expert whenever needed.
Free plan is VERY limited. Sometimes it can be information overload.
I found CanIRank to be particularly useful because of its in-depth reports that provide detailed information about a website's health, effectiveness, and competitors.
I also got several errors during use. Some of the content suggestions are a bit low quality.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
