Easy to use tool but with powerful comprehensive features that are presented in a logical UI that is not cluttered. Easy to focus in on a particular area. We tested several solutions before deciding on SE Ranking. There were a lot of tools that limited location, or search engines, but SER gave us all of what we needed with accurate data.
Need more single On-Page SEO limits. When we are working on a client page to optimise we run the recheck frequently and can run out of re-checks on one site. Also the PDF Report Creation Template needs to be easier with a preview of data so you know what you will get in the end result of the report.
Helping clients achieve better SEO for targeted keywords and improve local rankings.
I find the front end on the website is very easy to use. It makes a difference when you are short on time and need to run a report in a hurry. The functionality and setup is very customisable also.
I have not found anything bad as yet, not even a flurry of email marketing! I wish I could add more keywords however I only paid for so many.
Knowing where my online ranking is every week across all my sites. Email reports are automatically delivered if I am unable to login and go looking!
SE Ranking has a great interface that is intuitive and simple to pick up with no prior knowledge oft eh platform
It is a bit expensive for the premium package. I would check out other software first to make sure this fits your needs.
SE Ranking provides a complete set of tools for my companies site to see what my competitors are doing, check my website rankings, and help me with keyword suggestions to rank up in search.
The price is the best feature! Apparently it was on an AppSumo offer (which I missed out on), but plans start as low as $4.20/month. Even their most expensive option, Enterprise with Daily updates, is only $151/month (as of now). For such an inexpensive tool, SE Ranking is REALLY robust. I explored about a dozen options (from free to $30,000/year+) and found the richness of available tools and reports compared to the price was unbeatable. I was particularly interested in their Website Audit tool, though I didn't find issues with any of the offerings. I also loved that, before ever reaching out to ask for a trial account or set up a sales call, they have a demo account where you can actually play with the tool and see what the features look like beyond just a screenshot. (Note: not all features are unlocked in this demo account, or in the free trial account you can set up yourself... however, the sales rep I connected wtih unlocked my trial account so I had full access to all tools before making my decision).
The two SOLE reasons that I chose another option (with annualized fees about the same as SE Ranking's most expensive option) related to the web meeting I had with a sales rep prior to making my purcahsing decision: 1) He was in the U.K., and the tool he used / the phone number given for the call wouldn't work from my phone (and if it had, my company would've had to pay international rates). We were able to make it work via using the web meeting software's option to have sound and mic run through my computer rather than my phone. 2) His internet connection was slow and skippy, and we actually lost connection twice through the call. Other than these issues, he was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. But as my company was investigating much more expensive options with dedicated post-sale support, etc. my fear of using an international company with spotty connections for their sales team led me to go elsewhere. However, if you're on a tight budget, after having played with this during a trial period (where the sales rep gave me full access to all tools and features), I'd still highly recommend SE Ranking!
I chose not to move forward after my trial period with SE Ranking. However, the business problems I am solving with the tool we chose instead (and would've solved with SE Ranking had we gone that route) are: SEO Keyword Research, Competitive Research, Website Audit, Keyword Suggestion, SEO Monitoring, and Backlink Checking / Monitoring.
This was one of the first products I used when starting out in SEO and it was very easy to follow. It makes it very easy to understand different site rankings within each website
Nothing really stuck out for anything I disliked. I remember sometimes the sight would be slow or down, but after we talked to the vendors they fixed the bugs
I was working with multiple customers to optimize their sites. It helped keep things organize and made it easy to draw assments for clients
It's easy to integrate with the SEO strategy for small companies
the integration with the Search Console API and Google Analytics breaks the White Label feature
Ranking SEO keywords SEO Audit Social media automation
I've been using SE Ranking now for about two months and really like the Top10 overview of the competitors. with the authority figures of Moz and Alexa. Reports can also be exported easily and in a Excel and CSV formats. On-Page SEO Audit and the Rankings module is also recommended.
Funny enough is that the navigation of the product is not always userfriendly as expected. When I am in the tools section I am unable to navigatie quickly to earlier sections. Even clicking on the logo doesn't bring me back to the homepage.Just editing the URL soves it though.
Validatiting rankings, insights in keyword difficulty for relevant terms and great on-page audit overviews.
The home dashboard gives me a great overview. It's quite different from all the other tools, it's very straightforward and I just "got it" instantly. I also like the "online marketing plan" which is a nice list of things to take care of.
Some of the secondary features are bit harder to find, although they are there, so it's bit of a shame. I still forget about them, because I have to find them in menu under "Tools".
SE Ranking allows me to see the rankings for my keywords for all my projects at one glance.
Hands down the robustness of the product! Not just within the product itself in terms of drilling right down across multiple metrics but the fact that this can be done against databases in multiple regions. SE Ranking updates current lists and is doing new countries on a regular basis!
Learning Curve - for someone who bought this "off the shelf" there has been a very steep learning curve. SE Ranking has created a lot of helpful materials and tutorials, which are really good and to the point - but unless one really commits to pushing through, the learning curve may be 'too steep'. (Of course, this is all very relative; I'm speaking from the perspective of someone who needed a sound SEO 'advisor' without a lot experience background with current software/strategies. This software may be very easy to use for someone with relevant background).
Better understanding of how to create synergies between our website/IG platforms and better use of hashtags within IG.
It's very easy to understand how the tools work. It helped me a lot while i was designing my website.
The extra costs of the usage of some tools. I think it should be free for paying members.
Our website was not up to date. Besides that people weren't able to find us on google. We improved a lot!
It is an affordable long-term solution for a small business. As an embryo of an agency, white label feature is just priceless - I feel that I am set up for coming months.
Keyword checker is paid per use but at 0.01 per use it is entirely decent.
I am starting two websites; http://stretchymummy.com and http://skilfulmeans.com both need to keep an eye on what keywords to target and monitor the progress.
I use and like the lead generation functionality best.
I get the leads by email, i would love to get them by Zapier
The benefit is that i can help my visitors with an automated SEO scan. And i have the possibility to reach out to those visitors.
The system feels much more sophisticated than our previous SEO tool. The ability to track specific queries and set the location basis for the search engine adds a new level of details to our SEO activities. There's an emphasis within the system on tracking your/client competitors. I can easily see the top 10 competitors for specific keywords, providing me a way try and get highly relevant backlinks. The backlink management itself also feels great, as I can add poor links to a 'disavow' list to export and upload to Google Webmaster Tools. The reporting functionality is also very good, allowing us to create attractive monthly reports for clients.
Occasionally the links within the system break, but usually these resolve themselves after I reload the page, so this hasn't really presented an issue yet.
We're using SE Ranking for ourselves and client SEO activities and I'm already feeling a lot more informed about the ranking positions.
SE Ranking not just gives daily ranking for keywords, but it also gives option for multi-users and also for manually editing any changes required. The Dashboard: It gives average keyword ranking for your website. So, if you're analyzing historical ranking, you will observe the performance of your keywords. Below the dashboard is another feature which is my favourite. The Social feature in SE Ranking. SE Ranking not just allows to schedule posts for social channels through it's platform, it also gives analytics and insights on number of impressions, views and clicks.
The ranking accuracy is one factor sometimes with SE Ranking. As it happened with me like a month before, when there was inaccurate results.
I am using for keyword ranking, backlinks exploring for Top 5 competitors website. Yes, SE ranking really helped with the keyword rankings, because considering a website which has 600 + keywords, it takes a major chunk of your day finding them.
The platform allows you to cover on-page/off-page/technical SEO all in one space. Icing on the cake is being able to white label the platform.
Lack of online content crawling. By this, the ability to search the web for specific words across the web. E.g, looking for unlinked brand mentions.
Automating/systimising tech audits (website audits) and giving clients a platform for full transparancy.
The product is good, with lots of great features. I especially like the Website Audit tool. But it is a shame they do not track website audit changes (up and down arrows) on the dashboard.
Dealing with support is painful. They only seem to have this live chat thing and they are only available US and UK times. So for me I ask a question, get a response hours later when I am asleep and it takes days and days to get to the bottom of my query.
It enables us to audit our client websites and ensure we are maintaining a great on-page SEO standard. This does cost us extra time, but means we deliver a better result for our clients.
The dashboard is simple and easy to use which any beginner can start using. Also, the filters (such as search volume, keyword difficulty, word count, etc.) for keyword research will help you prioritize the keyword list.
Data accuracy is a major issue of SERanking that should be improved as other competitors like Ahrefs and Semrush has more keyword database and more indexed backlinks.
A major problem in the SEO industry is the high price of SEO tools. This is where SERanking is helping SEOs and marketers. However, the data accuracy can be improved but considering the price point
It covers a lot of different tools for SEO and PPC including research, competitor analysis and website and on page SEO analysis, plus the audit to-do list.
It's a little overwhelming at times. I'd also like to see more of the popular social media platforms available Instagram, Pinterest etc.
Analysing, monitoring and organising keywords and improving website content
The ease of setup and the support has been amazing!
Nothing, the service has been great to date.
Keyword tracking and competitive analysis.
We primarily use SERanking for reporting on results to clients and creating a dashboard they can quickly reference to see how they're ranking.
We still use other tools to quiclky see if there's anything we're ranking for outside of the terms we're tracking in SERanking.
Easy client reporting and target keyword tracking.
The userfriendly ux and manipulation of keywords, selections, filters, quick buttons.
Got onto support because i did not understand the weekly update schedule of rank positions. Alex helped me, they updated adhoc, and could continue using the tool. I needed some onboarding
SEO analysis and management
The best Feature for this product is how cheap the offers are compared to other sites whilst providing the same quality of service compared to other tools.
"Sometimes the Search volume does not reflect the volume generated from other sites which shares similar volume information. I also would like the software to have a more customizable dashboard or any piority search tactics."
This tool allows our team to closely monitor the movement of competitors making us equipt to deal with any actions they take.
Reports and comparisons of sites. Easy to set up and receive reports but hard to get the fixes implemented.
I learn best with video clips on how things work and I can't find any that help me.
Things that need fixing but need to wing it too often and find outside help.
The reporting features (SEO Analisis, Ranking reports, etc.). The site is great for creating reports for customers and it runs very smoothly.
The fact that you are limited to 5 websites, and 50 keywords for the lowest cost plan makes it a difficult choice. I'd rather see limitations on features and not in what most small businesses use the most.
It is helping us to keep track of website rankings, identify issues with websites, identify lack of SEO readiness, etc.
The keyword monitor tool, and the seo ppc competitor checker. I think they're a great tool to start building a site, or even to audit.
The website audit. There are things in the website audit that should be considered. For example it's not possible to manually validate when something is corrected. For instance, there are some warnings / error that shouldn't come up. Example: DUPLICATE H1 title: Well it's normal to have this if you have a page called blog in different languages. Another thing is the report generator. It's really bad that reports can't be saved and edited after.
Keyword monitoring. Backlink monitoring
Se clean lay-out, and the option that you can choose how often you want to check the rankings. For me it's not necessary to check it everyday, so it's great to save money that way. Another great feature is the marketing plan/checklist with the additional information, and the backlink area where you can track you backlinks.
That you have to pay extra for checking backlinks f.e.
That i can check my rankings regularly, and have a overview of my SEO status.
I used it to track keyword ranking on a daily basis
When tracking many keywords, it takes awhile to update. I haven't found other features too useful. There are too basic. For example, Ahref can help you find keyword gap from top competitors.
So far I only used it to track keyword ranking on daily basis. As for other features I am not sure how beneficial they are.
Easy to use interface and reliable ranking data. The recent Data Studio integration makes it easier to produce Data Studio reports and cross reference the data against that from other tools. The online support is always quick and helpful.
The traffic data in the competitor analysis tool does not seem reliable when compared to other tools. The report builder is not particularly user friendly and I personally would not use it to produce client reports.
Keyword research, client reporting, competitor analysis
The reporting system is super easy and prints great with very accurate google rankings.
Sometimes when just login in the updates run and can take a bit long.
Making reporting easy and effective.
Continuous development, listening to users, high precision of rankings, number of useful functions. White label is also a plus, same as lead generator. Worth to add handy ReportZ integration. If I am honest, I have not used all the functions of the tool yet. And there are a lot of these features, so there is still a lot to discover. Still something new is added.
Well, SE Ranking is a kinda pricy tool. The interface could be better, more intuitive, sometimes finding a function take some time.
I'm not gonna write it's a life changer for me. Because of my small limit of 300 keywords, I'm using SE ranking just for one primary project. I also use a website audit as a support audit for most of my sites.
