I need to know how my competitors are ranking, what keywords they are targeting and which backlinks are most important. SheerSEO instantly helped me get clarity on the competition which has allowed me to create a content plan to rank. Pros SheerSEO is jam packed with incredibly useful tools to maximize your SEO efforts. I absolutely love the competitor research tools and toxic backlink monitoring. It replaces so many big name tools! However the main thing is the support. It is unbeatably great. I've never in my life been met with such responsive and helpful support. The software is worth purchasing for that alone. I definitely recommend SheerSEO to anyone wanting to improve their SEO game. Cons Nothing, everything I have used has been great! Alternatives considered [Ahrefs](https://www.capterra.com/p/176340/Ahrefs/)[Semrush](https://www.capterra.com/p/151962/SEMrush/) Reason for choosing SheerSEO Same reason I made the switch. I've used the big name tools and their cost, customer support and features didn't align with my needs. SheerSEO has everything I need and their support is beyond exceptional. Switched from [Moz Local](https://www.capterra.com/p/116352/Moz-Pro/)[Ahrefs](https://www.capterra.com/p/176340/Ahrefs/)[Semrush](https://www.capterra.com/p/151962/SEMrush/) The features and the pricing are far better for my use.

Owner / Founder Design Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "SEO at your fingertips in a sensible, easy to read format" August 4, 2022 5.0 It is easy to spend too much time on SEO... without giving the serach engines enough time to register any changes you have made. The weekly report ensures that you give it enough time and yet flags any potential issues too. 10/10!!! Pros I really love SheerSEO. It provides a weekly prompt via email so you can track keywords and more. Plus the Dashboard provides many tools that enable you to dig deeper and see (at a glance) which areas of the website may need some extra effort. Cons It does seem to contradict other (on-site) SEO tools occasionally. However - as a general overview and prompter - I really can't fault it. Switched from [Screaming Frog SEO Spider](https://www.capterra.com/p/185765/Screaming-Frog-SEO-Spider/) Screaming Frog kept freezing my PC and was blocked by Google, whereas SheerSEO works in my browser and causes no issues Review Source jV jd V.

Support not knowledgeable and incorrect info" March 17, 2022 1.0 Pros Sheerseo has a lot of good features and there are a lot of possibilities if it would work Cons We get a lot of errors, we contacted support several times but they simply say 'we dont get that error'. They provide no support, when they provide support they redirect you to an old and outdated support article. So total waste of money Review Source Response from SheerSEO.com March 23, 2022 I personally take care of support and wrote the code. Managing the product for 14 years now. I never respond with "we don't get this error" unless I ask for an explanation on how to recreate the issue. The support is done by me and I respond even during the weekend. Never takes me more than a day to respond. I'll be happy if you show me the original issue and let me resolve it. Ayal, CEO and creator of sheerseo TI Ted I. Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great value, and a constantly evolving set of useful features" August 9, 2020 5.0 My main business problem is just understanding where customers rankings are and where to improve. The feature that displays ranking history color coded going back 12 weeks is highly valuable for figuring all this out, and I send that to clients every month - it's very actionable stuff and makes it obvious what sort of content you should be working on. Pros The \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] of the company is very open to user feedback and has made several changes to the product based upon requests I've made. I've found it very easy to use, reliable, and it outputs very understandable reports I can share with clients. I also like the white labelling aspect of it for agencies. Cons There are a lot of features I actually don't use (for instance, for audits I just use Screaming Frog like many do). SheerSEO is packed with features and I feel I probably am not doing the rest of it justice and should poke around a lot more. Alternatives considered [Semrush](https://www.capterra.com/p/151962/SEMrush/) Reason for choosing SheerSEO I know SEMRush is very popular, but I view that as more of a keyword research tool (I gather they do rank tracking too), but SheerSEO is laser focused on SEO, where SEMRush is used for both SEM and SEO. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] of Evolving SEO did a great roundup review of various rank tracking products some years ago; I had already chosen SheerSEO but based on that I felt I had made the right choice. Review Source RG Robert G. Managing Member Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Love SheerSEO" June 29, 2022 5.0 Perfect software for what we need. When ever there is an issue its fixed within hours... Pros Love this software. Its easy to use and they are not constantly changing the interface which is great. Customer service is awesome!! Cons No Cons love this software and will continue to use it for years to come.

July 7, 2022 5.0 Pros We like ease of use so when you can get neck deep in data in a couple minutes, that immediately becomes a great asset in your tool belt. Cons I am not sure I have any cons to report yet. Alternatives considered [Raven Tools](https://www.capterra.com/p/121696/Raven-Tools/)[Semrush](https://www.capterra.com/p/151962/SEMrush/) Reason for choosing SheerSEO cost, speed, simplicity. Review Source Wale A. Editor Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A tool I've used since 2013" August 30, 2020 4.0 Pros One thing I've always liked about SheerSEO is its simplicity. Back in 2013, I wasn't really conversant with SEO tools but I got the hang of it in no time and started getting valuable data regarding my keywords ranking in search results. Used the free plan for years and it did work for me before going for the standard plan a couple of years later. The support is quite good and pricing is very reasonable, especially for a small business with no budget for an expensive SEO tool. Cons Well, just some complex features found in more expensive SEO tools. But this is understandable considering the pricing. Review Source SG Sevak G. CEO Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great SEO Tool" June 23, 2021 5.0 Overall has been great working with the software. Everything is simple to use and well laid out. Pros Ease of use and functionality is good compared to other tools. Cons I think the software needs a UI upgrade but real SEOs care about the numbers, not the look. Review Source HK Herman K. Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good tool for SEO, super support." August 10, 2020 4.0 We use it to monitor the websites of our clients, for SEO en functionality. Works excellent. Pros SheerSeo's features are very similar to competing tools, but the support they provide is better. Very personal. Cons I missed an option to have a viewer account for our web developers. When we asked for it, it took 2 days to create an Excel download which is a good alternative.

President Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "SheerSEO provides excellent keyword research tools as well as competitor tools that stand out." July 28, 2022 5.0 I am doing keyword research for blog posts. Pros I enjoy the unique and useful keyword research and I especially like the competitor research for keyword ideas. Cons The documentation could be a bit better. Review Source AJ Antonio J. Owner Law Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Daily Rank Checker" August 20, 2020 5.0 Pros This software emails me on a daily basis with my website rankings. It allows me to see if there is a potential problem before it becomes too late. Cons This software is great for rankings. I do not use it like I would Moz or Ahrefs. But for daily polling, this is great. Review Source PM Peter M. Manager Used the software for: 2+ years ### "We use SheerSEO to daily SEO ranking reports" October 10, 2017 4.0 Pros \- Daily email digests of SEO rankings are great, because you can see if your rankings are falling or increasing. - Easy way to add all the keywords to track - Can track multiple websites and keywords Cons \- Doesn't have all the complex features that the competitors do - The interface looks a little outdated but gives you all the features you need. Review Source HG Henry G. President Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My Go-To Keyword Rank Tracker" July 20, 2021 5.0 Very positive. Pros I like these things a lot: 1) all my sites and keywords are in one easy to use display 2) I like the daily rank movement emails I get. They are my early warning system. 3) I like the support I get from the company. It's fast, responsive, and helpful. Cons No issues at all with it. I am a long-time, happy user. Review Source AG Atila G. CEO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "SheerSEO and the day goes as expected!" August 14, 2020 5.0 Pros It is very easy to use, CS always prompt and helpful. Cons None so far. I really love the software.

August 9, 2020 5.0 Excellent Pros Thirteen years ago in 2007 , as a webmaster for numerous customers, I need something to help me with SEO. SheerSEO was exactly what I needed.

Review Source BB Babak B. ceo Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great tool to understand your keyword ranking" August 30, 2020 5.0 Pros We like to monitor how we are doing in our Google keywords. Our favorite feature is the email snippets we get daily to see how many keyword have increased or decreased. Cons No complaints for the price point, but maybe the platform needs a reskin to make it look a little more modern. Review Source JD Josias D.

Director Maritime Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Shear SEO for ranking" September 5, 2018 4.0 I need this tool to get the best ranking I can so am fining it very informative at the moment. Pros Well, to be honest, they all seemed pretty much the same to me as this is a new field. I went with his one as it offered a free 60-day trial as opposed to the others who offer 30 days but want your credit card details anyway. Cons I am finding the technical side and terminology quite challenging. Review Source CC Chris C.
