The times when [ContentKing] is most useful is when working with migrations, or changing dynamic websites that you want to continuously monitor fix and rapidly resolve issues. Because you can share URLs to key issues and create segments out of them it is very easy to highlight issues. Because it isn't charged a per user level this does mean you can give access to clients and their development teams.

UpCity
- Customized marketing checklist is incredible!
- The way UpCity verifies items in your marketing checklist (like whether you have social accounts, you're on Google, etc,) helps my business, and others, save precious time having to manually verify them yourself.
- I love the impact scores and estimated time shown on each task to give us a feel of how much we are doing each month and what value that time spent is.
- The "about" and "how to" section on tasks makes it very clear how to accomplish each task.

Cons
ContentKing
- It is a single host only, which means that if your website spans mulitple subdomains it falls down
- It isn't as easy to control as desktop crawlers, the continuous nature means you can't just give it a set of URLs to monitor.
- Some of the issues it highlights aren't always issues, and so you need an expert user

UpCity
- Unwillingness to help dissatisfied customers
- Unwillingness to address issues
- False advertising regarding the number of click throughs and leads
- Rude customer service reps that don’t help with your issues
- Expensive service
- Little value for money

Really like the walkthrough onboarding of the app to get your bearings when you sign up. You can quickly glance at the interface and understand where everything is located and what each feature is used for. The dashboard is incredibly useful to understand the health of your site and address any persistent issues on your site quickly.

Usability is mediocre: They have a dashboard to track things but they have some antiquated system of ranking companies and don’t tell you what the logic is behind it. You also have no way to combat negative ratings or respond and try to correct them.

They respond very quickly and have deep technical knowledge so they will always find a solution to your problem. They are based in Europe but are planning to open offices soon in the USA that will help with time-difference issues. If you are based in Europe, you will get an answer in 15 minutes.

I received little help from customer service rep, Sarah. She told me I should speak to a manager to “reset my expectations”. Apparently, all the sales promises of more traffic and increase SEO were an issue with my expectations, and not the company failing to deliver.

Alternatives Considered
ContentKing
Content King provides a much more immersive dashboard. Additionally, the reports offered by Content king give us much more granular data allowing management to see the results country site by country site. The other tool would have required us to hire an external developer to create a custom dashboard to provide reporting. This to, us made the decision easy.

- UpCity was costly for us because we were small. If we were a 10 person agency, the price would be right in line with what we need.
- UpCity has taught us many processes we needed to continue helping our clients be successful.
