    Analytics SEO (t/a Authoritas)
    I think there are a lot of better tools out there, functionality and design-wise, as well as pricing. Authoritas is a simple tool and is suitable for small businesses. If you're a more prominent company, using more enterprise tools is best. This suffices if you're looking for a tool that gives you basic data on your site.

    CognitiveSEO
    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.

    • The interface can be clunky
    • It's a bit too all-in-one for me as I use other solutions for features like rank tracking and mentions
    • You are unlikely to use all the features you are paying for

    Usability
    Analytics SEO (t/a Authoritas)
    It's a pretty simple dashboard. Simple UI/UX. It's not particularly fun and engaging compared to other tools out in the market, but it gets the job done. It's good for the basics only. This tool will fit your needs if you have multiple websites and or are an agency.

    Alternatives Considered
    Analytics SEO (t/a Authoritas)
    I prefer SE Ranking as it tracks mobile, and has a separate competition analysis that works on old domains whereas Authoritas the site has to be live to get any results. It depends on your requirements as an agency probably does not research as much as an affiliate marketer as example.

    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.

    • We've cleaned up link profiles which clients have appreciated
    • With the on-going link monitoring we've spent less time re-auditing link profiles
