Advanced Web Ranking vs. WordTracker

If you want a reliable and accurate keyword rank tracking tool that can spit out beautiful monthly reports for your clients, then AWR is the tool for you. It is also cloud-based so you don't have to deal with the issues of proxies and VPNs like you would if running a similar program from your own server. It's not the cheapest option but it's probably the easiest to implement and most accurate option when it comes to cloud-based rank tracking software. Customer support has always been responsive and pleasant to deal with, I haven't had many issues, but have always had a good experience when I needed support.

To get a quick handle on keyword metrics and ideas, this tool really is idea. It is sooooooo much easier to work with than Semrush, which does a lot and is organized, on the whole, rather poorly.

• Google Analytics coordination or integration is an incredible procedure.
• Hyper link management is another merit.
• Rank tracking increases the reliability of a report.
• Content authoring and management allows us to have the right word taxonomy.

• Over the years I have learned that WordTracker's KEI is particularly good at revealing a keyword's relative value.
• WordTracker finds related search terms which helps us develop a more comprehensive keyword strategy.
• WordTracker also enables practical sorting across columns which helps us select competitive keywords quickly.
• We use WordTracker frequently in our first phases of keyword research and have found it to be very solid.
• This tool provides us with data to support our recommendations for changes that may need to be made to be successful in the SERPs and is also helpful in explaining our overall strategy to our clients.

Incentivized

• The ability of the program to produce dashboards in web page format. While it can do this, it saves them out as HTML files on your hard drive or cloud server, which makes it super hard to share with others.
• The cloud version is a bit more expensive, which offers the same tools as the desktop, which I found a little troublesome and it didn't make sense to me.
• Their customer service was a little lacking. I had a couple of general questions and I was on hold for about 15 minutes...which isn't good when you're in the middle of a busy workday.

• More accurate impression rate per phrase - even if a phrase gets only 15 impressions a month, those impressions might be valuable customers/sales.
• Pricing could be more affordable
• Better explore keywords that indicate a customer is ready to purchase

• Good bang for the buck.
• Makes the work flow easier by being able to extract data faster.
• Quick for my team to learn how to use.
• Lots of data. Really really lots of data.
• Good for general SEM and SEO work. Nice overall for nationwide campaigns. Since we are not uber local, no worries on the lack of the data there

BrightEdge is a lot more expensive, but we began using it when funds allowed us to, primarily for the online reporting and features not found in Advanced Web Ranking. But, as I mentioned earlier, we did not stop using Advanced Web Ranking when we introduced BrightEdge because it does have some plus points not found in BrightEdge.

I only use WordTracker, rather than the old Google keyword research tool. In my experience, WordTracker is the best keyword analysis tool because it's easy to understand, use, and find the information for which you are looking. I also think WordTracker is the most well known and trusted amongst its competitors

• Well worth the money, easy to implement, and accurate reporting, which is vital for rank tracking software.
