"SE Ranking for SEO"
What do you like best about SE Ranking?

I like the SE Ranking because for Google SERP tracking I can choose any region. This is very important for projects for which I do Local SEO. I really like the fact that I can configure access to projects. When working with clients it is very important. I also like the fact that the SE Ranking analyzes the entire Google SERP, not just the organic results. Using SE Ranking I also tracking Google AdWords and Featured Snippets. I like the fact that I can create one project and set many regions for the site. I do not need to create a separate project for each region.

What do you dislike about SE Ranking?

I like the fact that I can set the 'search range' in the Google SERP. But the maximum value is '100' (TOP-100). In my work, it is important to analyze the TOP-200. I like the fact that I can specify a 'check frequency'. But I can choose only one of the suggested values: 'Daily', 'Once in 3 days', 'Weekly', 'Monthly', 'Manual'. I can not select specific days. It so happens that I need to check the position of the site on Monday and Friday. I have to use the 'Manual' method, but this is not convenient. I like the SE Ranking that I can get reports by e-mail. Now I get reports once a week. This is convenient. But it would be even better if I could receive reports not once a week, but 2 times a week (on Monday and Friday).

What problems is SE Ranking solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use the service for different tasks: 1) Position tracking (SERP tracking); 2) Technical SEO Audit.

"Decent rank tracking software"
What do you like best about SE Ranking?

Fairly reliable, can track a lot of keywords (thousands), can make multiple users/logins, you can manually edit changes. So if there is something wrong, you can manually change it so that it is portrayed correctly. Other useful features include: showing which page of your site is ranking, easy to use when tracking 10s of websites, easy to add specific cities to track location in, can track Google Local results. You can have rankings checked at different intervals, daily, or less frequently. That is useful.

What do you dislike about SE Ranking?

The rankings are not always 100% accurate. My least favorite two things are 1) when the software shows something jumping onto page 1 when it's not and 2) when the software shows something dropping off page 1 when it's still there. In general my least favorite is the discrepancies I find.

What problems is SE Ranking solving and how is that benefiting you?

Not having to manually check rankings, ability to quickly see how someone is ranking, ability to see which page is ranking and fluctuations, etc.

"Fairly High Degree of Difficulty - But Worth Investing Your Time (I Think)"
What do you like best about SE Ranking?

Being able to follow on from where I left off. The SEO "To Do" list. Being able to compartmentalise activities The graphs are better than some other similar platforms.

What do you dislike about SE Ranking?

I haven't had the value from it until I have started understanding how it works properly. Additionally, I have found the Keyword planner a little confusing. Once I recognised there was a reason the search ranking links were in red, life became easier. I would like to see more, shorter You Tube tutorials, with specific features covered in greater detail I would find it helpful if the "Paid Traffic" gave an accurate rank. It seems strange that I have the ability to see a "Paid Search" column, but cannot add my GoogleAds account.

What problems is SE Ranking solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was tempted to go elsewhere - but I had a look at some other systems and decided to buy another period. It's rather nice to be able to suspect a problem and then see details about what might be causing it. I am going to use the To Do list from start to finish and see how this changes my opinion.

"Too much tools in 1 app"
What do you like best about SE Ranking?

I really love seo tools and Se Ranking is a tool with all inclusive. the best from SE RANKING IS - Keyword tracker for several search engine - Snippet view (you can see how look on google) - Nice Report - tracking backlinks - Website Auditor - Keyword research tool Also you can give level access to your team or client. Se Ranking is really good and usefull but i think is perfect tool for a small marketing agency If you are looking for a tool with several features SE Ranking is good.

What do you dislike about SE Ranking?

The cons on Se Ranking are they offert too much tools but they are not the best so you get kind good-mediocre results Others tools - The UI is not very friendly - Too much tools and they are not very friendly so new people on seo can get confuse - The tools are hide in the ui - Some service you have to pay extra (if you compare against other tools like ahreff or semrush) - Too much tools and is not the best in 1 The pricing is expensive

" SE Ranking Review (updated)"
What do you like best about SE Ranking?

I like that it looks clean most of the time and that it creates usable page audits. Keyword rankings are precise.

What do you dislike about SE Ranking?

I dislike the speed of the web app, the lack of, that is. Also, sometimes it's not very intuitive and you could see it needs a lot of polishing. There are two UIs to the web app and the other is located once you click the "Competitor SEO" submenu in the "Tools" menu and this makes it very confusing (shuffling between the 2 interfaces).

What problems is SE Ranking solving and how is that benefiting you?

Website audits and tracking keywords.

"Good, in theory, but not completely baked yet"
What do you like best about SE Ranking?

All in one solution really caught my eye. Their pricing appeared to be pretty good too - especially because they offered a deal on AppSumo They appear to be strong for rank tracking. I suspect this was always their core business. I like the idea of the SEO Potential tool but I don't know if it's really got any legs yet. Pay for performance is an interesting model though so I think agencies will offer it.

What do you dislike about SE Ranking?

This solution is difficult to have confidence in since it appears half baked at times. Interface is clunky . Things are often cut off by frames. Often slow and laggy. Hangs on certain reports - a lot. Ratios for some features are a bit skewed. The package you get is not the number of websites you an effectively work with IF those sites are in any way decently established. Rank tracker • Rankings appears accurate. They don't give you any indication of how they run them. I suspect this is their core business so it's probably solid. (UPDATE: they told me they run these rankings locally off of proxy servers - which is how it should be done) Traffic • This tab is nice because it's basic and simple but it's nothing you couldn't get from Google Analytics - in fact that's exactly where this comes from since you integrate GA into your account. Competitors • Unless you know exactly who your competitors are and add them to the system there is zero discovery value here - unless you indeed feel like dictionary.com, wikipedia, and thesaurus.com are your competition. (UPDATE: they told me that they were going to revisit this and try to serve up actual relevant competitors. • And only track 5 competitors. Really? (UPDATE: they said that since they have to store the data for every competitor across all of the keywords you are using that this limit was necessary. I disagree considering the cost of storage these days but can respect their feelings on it.) Online Marketing Plan • I find it not useful as a Marketing and SEO pro. You already know what you have to do. For this it's a nice little todo list Site audit: • is wonky as it picks up on tags and categories that it flags as duplicate/missing titles/descriptions . • W3 validator is completely busted. (Not their fault but they should pull it if that's the case) • Gives you a sense that the site is in really bad shape when it's really not. Lots of false positives here. • No way to do a site audit for a competitor or prospective client (most audits) on the fly without burning a website account (UPDATE: they took this feedback in and said they'd look into it. I think it could be one of their best tools if they fix it) Backlinks • No matter what package you get, you will NEVER have enough backlink monitoring to monitor all the allocated sites in the account. They basically offer you about 1500 backlinks per site at best. That's never every going to be enough. (UPDATE: you can remove irrelevant data and bring down your quota which is nice and will make it more likely to keep you within your limits. IMO there still should be more here from EVERY vendor in the industry) • If you want more, don't worry, you can just pay them and double the price of your subscription. • The info it gives you is pretty good but it doesn't give you a comprehensive picture - like what page the link is on coupled with the actual link to your site. I would think that would be fundamental. (UPDATE: they said they are going to work on the interface to make it more intuitive and give you info easier) Social • This is kinda a throwaway tool that should be marked in beta. It does't bring any value compared to lots of other (some free) tools out there.

What problems is SE Ranking solving and how is that benefiting you?

We get a good idea of how rankings are looking and it gives us an indication of what may be wrong with the site form an SEO perspective. I like the reporting system that automatically sends you reports to your clients. I'd like it to be more white label from an email server perspective.

"Good tool, but dark UX patterns around pricing"
What do you like best about SE Ranking?

detailed reporting but clunky and hard to use at first.

What do you dislike about SE Ranking?

Dark UX patterns around pricing. On the front, it seems like the only user pricing limitation is around admin users; as soon as you upgrade, client users are locked out, and you're asked for $20 per month per user. There is also copy on the pricing pages that states you only get certain features if you pay for a year upfront, which is entirely false.

"SE Ranking - Does What It Saids On The Tin"
What do you like best about SE Ranking?

What I liked best is that I was able to get for a one-time lifetime payment via an AppSumo offer It is ok on a whole if you are looking for a very basic solution, but I would have not been happy to have been having to pay a monthly subscription for what I get It covers all the major Key points needed to establish Good All Round On-Page & Off-Page SEO

What do you dislike about SE Ranking?

I have just found it a very basic software solution, with not really much to talk about. I literally do not have anything positive to say about it as it is just such a basic software solution, and I feel that there are much better overall ranking solutions in the market place I say this as it offers many things that can be accessed via many nonpaid websites if you know where to look So that is my feeling on the matter, in that it offers several solutions all under one roof but they are really quite basic solutions that can be located for free on the web

What problems is SE Ranking solving and how is that benefiting you?

Specific Keyword Tracking/Tracker Basically does what it says on the tin Check other things such as Website Load Time Competitors Analysis Search Visibility Ranking Historical Data Website Audit Report Website Important & Semi Important Fixes Website Content Analysis Backlink Checker
