### "Every SEO should use this tool"

July 9, 2021

5.0

Screaming frog has allowed me to take a lot of super laborious manual tasks and essentially automate them. It's taken my SEO to another level

Pros

Screaming Frog is THE tool. I literally can't think of a single task that this tool can't do/support. Ridiculously cheap compared to other SEO tools on the market.

Cons

The UI is pretty ho hum, and there's a pretty steep learning curve. Those are honestly pretty minor gripes. I have to dig deep to think of any negatives

### "Screaming Frog Review from marketing exec at Financial Service"

October 24, 2023

5.0

Overall I am very satisfied with my experience with Screaming Frog. There are so much data you can get from the tool and can easily export to Excel to do data analysis.

Pros

Screaming frog provides such an in-depth data about your website. And it is very convenient to extract large amount of data very quickly.

Cons

There are a lot of functions that you can use which is a little overwhelming in the beginning until you get used to it but if you have certain things you repeatedly use, it is relatively simple.

Ravie de l'utiliser au quotidien !

Pros

Très efficace, relativement facile d'utilisation, tarif peu cher pour ce qu'il fait. J'aime bien la fonction de comparatif de crawl.

### "Classic SEO tool (and FREE for websites under 500 pages)"

August 31, 2019

5.0

Weekly use for all clients. Mostly for checking if any 404 pages/canonicals/meta tags.

Pros

Free for use for websites under 500 pages. This software has a lot of features that's every SEO guru need to use.

Cons

I wish they had easier guides on how to filter pages and how this tool can help SEO (Case Studies). Can't complain about other options.

### "My favourite SEO tool! "

August 6, 2019

5.0

Would 100% recommend for digitial marketing agencies.

Pros

Range of features - everything from canonicals to href lang. Relatively easy to use - the knowledge base online is great too! Ability to crawl development sites in the run up to a new website launch.

Cons

The tool looks a bit scary when you open it (not the most aesthetically pleasing) - but it's not an issue.

### "Best Technical SEO Audit Tool"

January 21, 2023

5.0

A must-have tool for technical SEOs.

Pros

Screaming Frog is the best technical data crawling and audit tool for SEOs. You can crawl your website and check how's your website doing in terms of technical SEO standpoint. If you're a technical SEO, this is a must-have tool. The free version is adequate for getting started. In fact, if your website has less than 500 pages, you're good to go with the free version. If you want advanced functionality and own websites with thousands of pages, you should get the paid version, which is an excellent value for the price.

Cons

No complaints. It's a great tool for the price. And the free one is also good.

### "Very powerful at a very low price"

April 28, 2020

5.0

Pros

I love that it's cut and dry - if you're experienced in SEO, you'll love it because it gives you more answers more quickly than anything else I've found.

Cons

It's less intuitive than some of the other Softwares out there - again, if you're experienced, you'll love it. If you're new to the world of SEO, you might get a bit confused. I do not have new members of my team use it until I think they're capable of understanding it.

### "The Only Crawling Tool You'll Ever Need"

November 13, 2019

5.0

It's great. You can do all sorts of interesting scraping with it.

Pros

I love that it isn't a cloud based app and is instead a desktop app. It includes every feature you could ever want.

Cons

I wish it was a one time purchase instead of a subscription.

### "Cost-effective solution with no sacrifices"

December 6, 2019

5.0

Couldn’t be happier. With a little time invested in learning, we have a highly productive tool set at a steal of a price.

Pros

It can do just about anything you need from a crawler, and at a fraction of the cost of other top tools. Interface is straightforward and simple.

Cons

There’s a lot in the tool, so finding each part and learning it takes time. CSV exports for large sites are huge - an excel or other compressed version would be ideal.

Reason for choosing Screaming Frog SEO Spider

### "Awesome tool in order to crawl website"

September 29, 2020

5.0

I use this software as I'm a web integrator. When I deliver a new website, I use this software for URL rewrite. For SEO, it's very important to have a good structure. When I deliver a new website, I'll often change the URL structures. With this tool, I can easily crawl the website and don't forget any URL in order to redirect them !

Pros

The software is quite hard to crawl a website and will get you every informations you need ! Very useful of you need to setup redirections on a website !

Cons

There is many informations when you crawl a website. Maybe it's not so easy, but if you spend some time on the software, you'll understand quite easily

August 24, 2021

A very good program to see where your website can be improved with better SEO.

Pros

We used Screaming frog to see if our keywords are working and also to improve our SEO on our website.

### "Consigliato, ideale per le migrazioni "

October 6, 2022

5.0

Lo consiglio a tutti, seo e non, ottimo strumento per analisi architettura, http, url, intestazioni e meta.

Pros

Uno strumento fondamentale per analisi e scansione siti, e per la creazione di archivi. Particolarmente utile per le migrazioni, per avere tutto sotto mano.

Cons

La versione free scansiona fino a 500 URL, una limitazione per color che devono analizzare siti grandi. Tuttavia, la scelta di limitare la quantità di url nella versione gratuita è corretta.

### "Great Value in this Tool for My SEO Process"

December 7, 2020

5.0

I have found the tools inside of Screaming Frog to be extremely powerful and easy to use in order to gain an understanding of my clients' websites. The crawls allow me to gain insight rather quickly to find weaknesses in a website so that I can address the problems and ultimately help my clients to improve their technical and on-site SEO issues.

Pros

I like how easy it is to get the comprehensive reporting done very quickly with clear action items to improve my website.

Cons

I would like more functionality and formal reporting that I can show to my client instead of having to create the reports myself from the crawls.

### "SEO Tool For All"

November 14, 2019

5.0

Used this tool for site audits for various sites and industries. Using every tab that screaming frog spits out, going through it, and implementing any changes you need on your site is super helpful for SEO.

Pros

Any SEO worth their salt should use this tool. It is the best tool for site audits. It will help you uncover any and all issues with your site. I love this tool for SEO. One of my favorites.

Cons

Crawling large sites can take a while. Not really a fault of the product though, just a reality of the situation. Sharing licenses can be a hassle for agencies.

### "Excellent tool for technical SEO audits"

September 14, 2020

5.0

Great and affordable website crawler that will allow to identify many opportunities for improvement.

Pros

The tool is invaluable when doing technical SEO audits and allows to quickly get an overview of the website structure, internal links, redirects, title tags, h1 tags, meta descriptions. It makes it easy to see all the pages that link to a certain pages, identify broken links and redirects.

Cons

No major dislikes or flaws. It may take a while to understand the full functionality of the software so perhaps it could be easier to use.

April 29, 2022

5.0

Excellent, would recommend this to anybody involved with SEO.

Pros

Screaming Frog is the quickest way for me to crawl a site and identify immediate issues. It's easy to compare those issues and identify where they occur on multiple pages.

Cons

Crawl limit on the free version but I suppose that's fair enough!

### "Very fast tool to check your website links"

May 9, 2022

5.0

Pros

Screaming Frog is my favorite SEO tool when it comes to analyzing all website links at once, the final report shows all link error codes so your web developer could easily fix them, and the annual fees of the paid version is very affordable.

Cons

I think it would be better if they develop the software to be cloud based instead of being desktop solution only.

### "A really good tool to understand the SEO health of a website"

January 25, 2022

5.0

Screaming Frog is the best crawl software out there in my opinion. SEMRush Site Audit is pretty good, but is littered with red herrings - everything Screaming Frog displays is always accurate.

Pros

The crawl-ability that Screaming Frog features is second to none. For finding 404s, and other errors, I would always go with Screaming Frog. It has some really nice visuals to understand the hierarchy of a website, to help with SEO.

Cons

It's quite a difficult UX to understand, which generally results in struggling to use all of the features effectively.

### "Must-Have Tool for SEO Audits!"

July 22, 2021

5.0

I like how everything is organized inside the Screaming Frog app including each of the tabbed areas.

Pros

I love the many features that Screaming Frog offers but I especially like the Tree Graphs under Visualisations where I can quickly show my supervisor a snapshot of all interlinked webpages.

Cons

I can connect accounts such as Google Analytics, Ahrefs, PageSpeed insights and Google Search Console but when I close the app, then reopen it, I have a reconnect those accounts. Not a big deal and it's easy to reconnect but would love to see those accounts stay connected.

Reason for choosing Screaming Frog SEO Spider

I've heard great things about Screaming Frog and wanted to try it and glad I made the move which has been a huge time-savor for me.
