CognitiveSEO is a very useful tool for any company looking to boost its marketing effort substantially. While telemarketing is an excellent way to generate new business, online marketing campaigns are crucial in today's society when it comes to prospecting for new business opportunities. Occasionally it can be difficult to reach new audiences who are in fact an appropriate fit for the products you offer. CognitiveSEO helps you target market those audiences and utilize the most out of your marketing efforts.

They do not respond quickly to any questions or the one time I had an issue. I had resolved the issue myself before they gave a response

• allows to group keywords (by tags) and reports tags as a bunch of kws
• competition reporting (with keywords positions and rank tracking in time)
• SoV - share of voice - metric, that allows you to see true potential of your keywords
• search intent - identifies informational/navigational/commercial/transactional keywords (even in Polish!)
• integration with Google Analytics and Google Search Console gives more and more data that you may analyze

CognitiveSEO specializes in target marketing for more efficient marketing campaigns and lead generation. While I am not too familiar with other competing products, I would highly advise using CognitiveSEO above all due to the efficiency, turnaround time, and customization features to attract new leads based on specific criteria that relate to your products and daily procedures.
