    Prior to adopting Cronycle, our research team had a variety of different ways in which they would discover, store
    and share information. These methods were often inconsistent, with many smaller
    teams or sub-groups of researchers operating independently of others. In many cases, content that was potentially useful to more than one
    colleague was not being shared at all. We had thousands of different sources,
    accessed through varying methods and stored in different locations/systems, and
    very few colleagues would have had an idea of which sources other team members
    were using. Furthermore, we became aware as a team that while between us we
    were pulling in a lot of information, much of what was being discovered was not
    necessarily being acted upon, or indeed being read by the colleague to whom it
    was most relevant. We also needed to become more targeted, and indeed more
    selective, in the information we were seeing, and Cronycle -specifically through the Sources Library, the Feeds, and the tagging and notification functionality - has enabled us to do
    just this. There has been a genuinely transformative outcome to our information gathering ability, borne out by specific metrics, which Cronycle has also provided us with via the Enterprise account.

    Majestic SEO
    Majestic is a really great tool if your company is spending considerable resources on ongoing SEO efforts. In general, Majestic isn't for beginner SEO users, but a more advanced tool to get into deep SEO tactics. I would recommend this for agencies that have a significant investment in SEO. If you're a small team or a small business looking to improve SEO for yourself or company, there are platforms that offer a variety of tools for new to moderate expertise.

    • I like Majestic's own metrics Trust and Citation flow, that are very representative of the real value of the website and it's potential effect on the rankings of the website it's linking to.
    • Also, theme (topic) of the website is very useful in the backlink report. This allows to easily identify backlinks relevant to your business.
    • The index of number of backlinks that is provided by Majestic is usually a lot bigger than the indexes of their competitors.
    • Lost link tracker is very useful for tracking dropped links of your projects (you can verify and track multiple domains). This allows to keep track on how many of your ads and articles stay live and sometimes we contact publishers to tell them that their changes on the website (i.e. updates) caused our article or link to go down.

    Cons
    Discontinued Products
    • For some reason logging on for a few months does not go as easy as usual, because nowadays I need a least two attempts to log in.
    • I think I do only use the core functionality of Cronycle: getting indication info by keywords via multiple sites.
    • Vice versa: if people come to me with a suspected issue, I double-check via Cronycle by entering that issue as search in found results. A low occurrence often indicates the suspected issue likely is not so severe.

    • Its API for developers and big companies sometime don't give the actual data.
    • Rank tracker is not 100% accurate, but you can create a rough estimate by the report.
    • Backlink history is also missing some links, but I found them mostly.
    • Sometimes site explorer does not give the actual report, so you should check manually too.

    Once you've grown accustomed to the depth and accuracy of Majestic's crawl, it's hard to consider paying for anything else (or settling for free options). SEMRush and MOZ can get you somewhere, but in the right hands, a tool as powerful as Majestic can do a lot for a business's link building strategy.

    Any issues with the platform have always been resolved quickly. I have never previously worked with a third party software provider whose support team is as responsive.

    In started when our team started to use this tool, we had trouble understanding many of its features, so its customer support team was our teacher to understand all its complicated features and also how they are used to get better results. Nowadays we are working very efficiently without any help.

    Hootsuite publication prep and scheduling is great, better than Cronycl (a manual process) Cronycl management of feeds, filtering creation of topical boards are excellent, Hootsuite doesn't offer this. Cronycle I find it easier, more attractive, and better filtering than Buffer, though Buffer was slightly better at the publication prep.

    Majestic has features that most of their competitors don't. The backlink index is better than SEMRush in my opinion which also lacks being able to look at links from a range of dates. Their metrics are harder to fool when compared to Moz and I would say that AHREF's is a good competitor but each company keeps their own index of links so its good to use more than one tool

    • ROI is difficult to ascertain in healthcare marketing, mostly due to privacy laws. Although, Majestic has improved our insight into our digital content, giving us data to work with on the primary site, which has led to an overall increase in organic search.
