SE Ranking is a fantastic tool if you are a marketing agency or freelancer looking for a single tool for the majority of your SEO work. It also includes B2B tools like their lead generation widget and white label reports that can help you generate new leads for your business. It would get 10 stars if their database was larger to accommodate research for small geographic areas, but they are always expanding their database so it may just be a matter of time. Research SE Ranking has pricing plans available for every budget.

• Rank racking. It’s really important for us that the ranks are tracked accurately.
• Monitoring of changes made on the website. We’ve found this feature really useful.
• Reports. This includes auto reports and manuals. We can easily and quickly create reports to check our SEO progress month by month.

• action dashboard - with commands what to do today, what should I focus on first place, to create targets and a way how to reach them
• email reports - should be embeded into message, not added as pdf attachement. Just like Google Search Console is doing it.
• add Google Places as a separate report/tool

• I really don't think SE Ranking has many flaws. They are also rolling out an app at the moment - SE Ranking Pro - need to test that one.
• Some more video tutorials on the site on how to use some tools would be helpful.
• More in-system popups would be more helpful too.

They had a huge update recently and the platform is now even better. Although not all the tools are yet in the new design.

The support is great but they don't have 24/7 support. And time zones can also be an issue sometimes. On the other hand there are plenty of guides and videos around to get yourself started. I never really needed support for "big" issues. And the help I got was good enough.

• 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

SE Ranking is better than Serpstat or MOZ or Ahrefs when it comes to tracking keyword rankings, but it lacks in every other SEO category, such as onsite and offsite SEO metrics, content analysis, etc... It's a good choice for agencies that are interested in tracking keywords for their clients, but other than that it underperforms in every other SEO category.

• + it was easier to see what competition is doing - you may see their "backstage"
• + easy way to monitor group of keywords (tagging) so no need to focus on particular keyword
• - takes some time to analyze whole domain
• - no whitelabel reports (it would save a lot of time)

• The website "health" report has allowed us to fix things that Google might find strange or cause us to lose rankings, which has been very helpful.
• It's given us more visibility into what exactly our SEO management company is doing and how they are performing, and if things are changing or not. It's very easy to see right from the dashboard.
• Being able to see how our competitors stack up against us has helped us know where to improve, what to focus on, and how to be even better.
