Pros
Very in depth though not overcomplicated, helpful support team, great roadmap, well designed user interface. Amazing value for money.
Overall experience with Squirrly SEO is fantastic, after I made the switch, I see a rank increase significantly, the dashboard is very encouraging as well.
I would recommend to teacher friends who want to independently offer classes and get traction to their businesses. The software is easy to use (once you get the hang of it) and is a good product.
With squirrly seo , ranking becomes powerful and effective. It is faster than any other plugins, and it’s a great backup for Wordpress site , and all the meta data of a web site.
Cons
Personally, got tired of running paid traffic and I wanted to stop being lazy and have decided to learn the secrets behind SEO and how to rank on the first page of Google.
Also, there will be server timeouts from time to time when doing the keyword research, and repeating the task all over again can be daunting as it means I wasted another few minutes just for that.
It was a bit laggy, glitch and didn’t work that well but eh.
Was missing some features but for how it costs I’m not surprised.

"UNEXPECTED BENEFITS USING SQUIRRLY SEO"
Overall: From the day we started using Squirrly it has been 100% helpful. About 2 months ago when trying to upgrade the PHP we didn't know that it some plugins might not work. Our website kept operating but we couldn't log in to admin and after so many people tried to solve our access we reached the stage of abandoning several years of work. We couldn't use our backup to a faulty system but this suppliers got inside and fixed the problem. We had already had cancelled our subscription with Squirrly but quickly had them back on the job. Again unexpected benefits saw them come in and got everything back to normal. These unusual random acts of kindness inspired me to give them a review
Pros: Apart from organising stats, the help our authors of posts receive is first-class. The checklist on the side makes sure you do not forget to do this or that, or to make adjustments to text until you get to 100%. It also helps by providing the length limits. Posting on social media is easy because users can prepare these within the post. We didn't expect so much helpful tutoring. Sometimes however some users do not understand something or an unexpected event creates problems. (See below)
Cons: Good question because there is nothing we didn't like.

"Exceptional Plugin and Service"
Overall: Excellent. Other companies should mirror their level of service.
Pros: I’ve been using Squirrly for 4 years. I’m not a seasoned IT specialist, just a novice user. The plugin is great. I’d tried others, but they didn’t produce the results. Squirrly boosted our non-profit site almost immediately. They also provide exceptional service. If you have an issue, they will reach out and help you solve it. I highly recommend this company.
Cons: I could not think of anything I would ask them to change.
"Be carefull - No pre-information for renew and not refund"
Pros: Nothing, when we discovered other products which are moreSEO friendly.
Cons: We did not receive any pre-information to renew.No refund even if the product is not used anymore.Product, too complicated, doesn't work in efficiency.
"Squirrly is a powerful softwatware"
Overall: I, personally, got tired of running paid traffic and I wanted to stop being lazy and have decided to learn the secrets behind SEO and how to rank on the first page of Google.
Pros: I love Squirrly software as my websites have been indexed fairly quickly by Google and my website isn't lost on the fiftieth page, but my website is currently on page eight, not bad. Squirrly knowledge pages are backed by so much content on SEO along with simple tutorials that I have not had to actually contact support for any further assistance. I can truly say that you should not hesitate to purchase this outstanding software if you take your online presence seriously
Cons: I have not experienced anything negative with this software .
"Squirrly SEO"
Overall: I do believe I would use the paid version if the price was lower because my experience was great. Good job on this product you knocked it out with this one.
Pros: What I liked the most is the keyword research tools
Cons: What I liked least is the cost per month or year.
"Squirrly SEO is a good tool to manage many SEO elements in your site"
Pros: The tool is similar to Yoast but it gives you more elements like SEO monitors and suggestions even its set an SEO Goals for your site I like this element. It also contains the familiar SEO tools from Yoast like adding meta to your pages, key words, and SEO score for each page on your site. I purchased a lifetime offer but I am not sure if it's still available.
Cons: I don't see in this tool the readability score for each page like in Yoast, the good thing is you just can keep using the free version of Yoast for this element, from my experience there is no issue with activating the two plugins at the same time.
"Squirrly Helped Me Rank My Top Viewed Posts"
Overall: I am solving the issue of SEO and ranking with Squirrly.
Pros: I liked the ease of use of Squirrly, and the colour coded improvement of my posts until it reached the target for SEO.
Cons: Sometimes I find Squirrly is less helpful than other times.

"A great suite of SEO tools packaged into a WordPress plugin"
Overall: I haven't fully utilised all the various functionalities of the tool Overall experience has been great so far - a great addition to my WordPress sites.
Pros: Great competitor to Yoast SEO and Rank Math and comes loaded with all the tools and features that you need from an SEO application.
Cons: Post Editor page UI could do with a bit of a rethink. The image search and suggest can be a bit of a hit and miss but it's not a del breaker by any means.
"Squirrly SEO - life changer!"
Overall: It save me Time and helps me in Getting work done in time.
Pros: It is Easy to Use and Fast searching compared to others.
Cons: The quick respone rate which is similar to all other softwares.
"Best AI based AI consultant"
Overall: Squirrly is an intelligent SEO tool that is capable of handling all aspects of SEO automatically. It offers a highly functional WordPress plugin and an AI mode that serves as an autopilot for users without any SEO knowledge. Squirrly provides suggestions for optimizing websites at various stages and makes recommendations for necessary changes. It has all the necessary features of a comprehensive SEO platform, including keyword research, keyword ideas, site auditing, Google rank tracking, and on-page optimization. The bulk SEO setting feature allows users to track the SEO of multiple posts from a single dashboard. Squirrly also offers the ability to check search engine visibility and manage meta tags from a single window. Users can import their settings from Yoast if they are considering migrating to Squirrly.
Pros: Squirrly is a AI based SEO optimization platform that is based on cloud technology and utilizes both AI and machine learning. This platform offers a variety of features, including keyword research and idea generation, SEO site auditing, management of meta and title tags, and a search engine ranking page checker.
Cons: Squirrly is an excellent SEO tool that uses AI to provide autopilot and highly effective SEO capabilities. It is particularly useful for individuals who want to automate their SEO efforts while still achieving optimal results. Till now, I haven't seen or observe anything in this tool to dislike.
"All in All, Not a Bad Tool"
Overall: Over all, I like this tool, but feel that some of the more recent updates have actually created more problems than they've solved.
Pros: I like being able to look for long-tailed search terms that will improve our clients' online visibility. And in the past I appreciated how it pointed out things I might have missed.
Cons: 1) Squirrly's latest update has created a lag where there wasn't one before. It can take at least a couple of minutes to see the changes in the score. 2) When working on the backend, it often doesn't "see" the search terms that have been included in the text and will call for them to be inserted when I've already added them. 3) It doesn't "like it" when text is placed in different text boxes and sometimes doesn't see the title. 4) Of late, in Word Press there's a notable difference in the score when working on the backside vs when I'm working front end. And it means switching back and forth to ensure I'm getting the best outcome.
"Best Customer Service ever!"
Overall: Squirrly has been my favorite app for so many years but now I want to tell everyone about how awesome they are. :)
Pros: I have never been so happy about customer service before. I had a problem with a plugin called staff list. It was not spitting out the title and the image when I was sharing a page on social media that I was hoping for of a dynamic page created in staff list. I was about to set up 500 manual pages for all the staff on the website and put shortcode into each when I reached out to Squirrly as a last try if they can help. And after many emails from them and lots of work on their side they got it to work today. I am blown away with [SENSITIVE CONTENT] and his teams customer service and programming knowledge and willingness to help me even though it was not their app that was not working correctly.
Cons: Nothing. I love the software and customer service
"Best SEO software and great people "
Overall: Love it easy to use. Can’t get as many blog articles in as suggested. The newsletters are also very interesting to read and always helpful.
Pros: I like the quick list on the right in Wordpress that slowly turns to green if you follow the instructions.
Cons: There is not much to not like. I could use some page load speed advise sometimes. Maybe that could be an addition for the future or also some alerts for ada compliance

"Excellent SEO Management Tool"
Overall: Squirrly SEO has succeeded in letting me optimise my Wordpress site quickly, easily, and effectively, where other plugins I've tried just left me confused.
Pros: It makes things easy for the user, holding your hand through the set up and deployment of the system and explaining what it's doing. It also has a lot of features to guide you through! With other SEO plugins, I've gotten overwhelmed going beyond the basics - not with Squirrly!
Cons: There isn't much to dislike here, but some of the explanations weren't quite clear. This didn't stop me from getting there in the end, but some of it would have been easier with a little more explanation.
"Very easy to use and effective SEO app"
Overall: We have had a very good experience with Squirrly SEO so far. We used the free version of Yoast SEO before switching to Squirrly SEO and never looked back ever since. The plug in is easy to install and deploy on WordPress sites, everything is very straightforward. The app offers options for both users who know a thing or two about SEO and for complete newbies. The Focus Pages feature seems to be a great idea, enabling you to focus on your most important pages and keep a close eye on them. I like it very much although so far we've been mostly using it when writing new content, we are yet to dive into it further to improve our existing content. So far a great experience overall.
Pros: It was very easy to deploy on our WordPress sites, and just as easy to use on an ongoing basis. Our writers got used to the new app very quickly and have no issues using it as they are writing content.
Cons: Perhaps the design of the dashboard (the visual) is not quite my style, however, the functionality is all good.
"Good for managing SEO elements in the website"
Pros: This tool provides more features than Yoast, including SEO monitors and suggestions, as well as the ability to set SEO goals for your website. I particularly appreciate this feature. In addition to these, the tool also includes standard SEO tools like adding meta tags to pages, identifying keywords, and assessing the SEO score for each page on the website. I was able to purchase a lifetime offer for this tool, but I'm uncertain if it's still available.
Cons: Unlike Yoast, this tool does not display a readability score for each page. However, it's still possible to use Yoast's free version for this feature without any issues. In fact, I've had no problems using both plugins simultaneously.
"I Can't Live Without Squirrly!"
Overall: I love Squirrly. The PRO membership has so many great benefits. The stock images are my absolute favorite. I do notice the difference in the number of visitors to my website when I am using Squirrly vs. when I didn't. This is very useful. Whoever made it is a genius.
Pros: My favorite feature is the stock images. That saves so much money and is very convenient.
Cons: The price. It is very expensive. Especially for those of us just starting out.
"Very useful SEO TOOL"
Overall: I have been using the software now for keyword research and to be honest, I like the way that the software can generate important and useful keyword.
Pros: What I really like is that keyword research which is very useful in terms of ranking and finding the right keyword for my website. It is a kickstart in launching my website. It has also 400 features in which I can use for future use. I really like it.
Cons: In the meantime, I can't say or I can't recommend any about the software.
"Great plugin for SEO management "
Overall: I'm satisfied with Squirrly SEO and all that it offers. I'm looking forward to seeing ranking improvements.
Pros: First of all, I like the program '14 Days Journey To Better Ranking'. It's a great way to get to know how Squirrly works and it's full of practical tips on how to boost the ranking of your chosen page. My favourite Squirrly features are 'Focus Pages' and 'Rankings'. Thanks to them is easier than ever to focus on important SEO aspects and to see your results.
Cons: So far there's just one thing I don't like about Squirrly - the UI. It definitely needs improvement to fit into WordPress design.
"By far the best SEO plugin I’ve used!"
Pros: Squirrly SEO Plugin by far supersedes others with features like automated SEO checks, tailored progress tracking, and strategic keyword suggestions, elevating content and boosting search rankings effectively for users. It’s can seem overwhelming with so many features, but you’ll quickly learn that it’s relatively easy and best part, it gets the job done correctly!
Cons: I don't see any cons at this time, but the only thing I can see that may be misconstrued as one is that it's pretty extensive. IMHO, that's a plus!
"Review for Squirrly SEO"
Overall: A good SEO is essential to our industry and Squirrly delivers.
Pros: I like that it is automated. It greatly improved SEO on our site.
Cons: The user interface is really not that good. But, overall it is still great.
"Squirrly is a great software"
Overall: My overall experience with this software has been great as it has a lot of great features. The pro membership is what I'm using and it has many great features/benefits. The software is user-friendly and the dashboard is very effective.
Pros: Without the help of an expert in SEO or sourcing out someone, Squirrly helped me rank the company I work for on the first page of google. Squirrly guides you through optimizing and researching keywords for your website as you build it, so it basically walks you through the whole process. The software is a great value for money.
Cons: Since I started using this software I have not experienced any cons as yet. I've been using the software for over 6 months and I am still satisfied thus far.
"A great alternative to Yoast"
Overall: Overall, I like how Squirrly saved me a lot of time and hassle when it comes to optimizing my site pages for SEO and providing personalized research metrics based on my site authority rather than other ranked sites.
Pros: What I like about Squirrly plugin is that it's lightweight. When I said lightweight, the contents in the plugin are loaded from their servers rather than using my server host resources. Plus, Squirrly is like a private SEO consultant, but run by robots, a.k.a the A.I. It feels great to have the tedious tasks of pursuing technical SEO and content optimizations done automated, as well as showing me issues and providing me personalized recommendations that I need to fix on my end.
Cons: The UI definitely needs some improvement as it is not as slick as Yoast or even Ahrefs (in the case of keyword research tool). Also, there will be server timeouts from time to time when doing the keyword research, and repeating the task all over again can be daunting as it means I wasted another few minutes just for that.
"It's a great SEO plugin for WordPress."
Pros: Almost a month ago, I bought this and am still testing all of its features. While using this plugin, I feel as if I am actively improving the On-Page SEO of my website. There were a few mentions in Facebook groups that this plugin requires a lot of configuration - of course, this is true. Activating an SEO plugin won't automatically configure everything for you. It automatically covers the basic SEO principles that should be on any website, and the rest you have to configure yourself - there are so many things involved in SEO! There were also reports about the UI being outdated. The user interface was very intuitive and comfortable to use. Similar to Ahref's side panel popup, the user interface is clean, informative, and provides all the information you need. In addition to educating you, the plugin guides you through all the features and aspects of your website.
Cons: It is still in testing, so I can't comment on its capabilities yet. Love it so far.
