    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.

    It's best used for small to mid-sized businesses that need to track a modest number of keyword phrases - perhaps 100 to 500 - across multiple search engines, in a limited number of geographies, against three or fewer competitors. It's less useful for large enterprises or small businesses that need multiple SEO functions handled by a single tool.

    Cons
    CognitiveSEO
    • 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

    • The interface is very rudimentary, it is not an interface that we would be comfortable adding clients the ability to access.
    • All results must be pulled into other programs for inclusion in monitoring reports.
    • Adding separate keyword targets for mobile and non-mobile is cumbersome and results must be tracked separately.

    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

    This is an area where AuthorityLabs really shines. It's one of the few Martech or SEO tools vendors about whom I can honestly say I've never had a complaint about their customer support. The team there consistently responds to any questions I've had or issues I've encountered quickly, helpfully, and in a way that feels personal.

    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.

    Very comparative as far as price [goes]. Some of the competitors have different features but you get trade-offs depending on who you are comfortable using.

    Return on Investment
    CognitiveSEO
    • 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
    • Anchor text monitoring also sped up our toxic review

    • We did not any process in terms of reporting on ROI in regards to SEO, but we only paid a very small monthly charge so it was a no-brainer to use it. It definitely helped our business.
