Searchmetrics does a great job when doing optimization of your content and keywords. It is less appropriate when doing off page optimization like backlinks.

Cons

It would be helpful if the Issues page under Website showed the WCAG level for each issue (A, AA, AAA). You currently have to look up the guideline to find the level.
There is no indicator that a page is currently being scanned. During a website scan, some of the reports are blank or missing information. Having a notification on the main page showing which websites are being scanned would be helpful.
Some ADA compliance items are left off, such as keyboard navigation, tabbing, etc.
It doesn't view the websites on mobile devices or if using a screen reader. Some pages or formatting changes depending on resolution. The DQM, from what I have seen, doesn't account for that.

Searchmetrics 3.0

Based on 1 answer

We are currently using an agency and do not need Searchmetrics services at this time. If we do need research metrics in the future, we will probably go with them. The only deterrent is that we got suckered into an additional year with them because we were a few days late on opting out of the auto-renew. Although I was very upset about getting stuck an extra year paying for services I do not need, that is probably the only issue I have with the company, so if you can avoid that, it's a pretty good product.

To be quite honest I am literally addicted to the tool, over the weekend rescans happen and as soon as I wake up on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday new scores have come in that I love to already take a [peek] at. This is just because the tool is so fun to work with and the dashboards give some great insights directly. The only reason why it doesn't score a full ten is [that] there's no way to go back to the homepage when you're on an individual item page and it's not possible to fully customize the dashboard (I'm now keeping track of past scores [through] a manually filled in Excel).

Online support [is] always quick to reply and usually [has] a fix ready and implemented within hours. Regular catch-ups with Account Managers [have] ensured that issues are addressed even more quickly, with the ability to see the results within days following a re-crawl of the sites. Suggestions for improvement are always taken on board.

Crownpeak Digital Quality Management (DQM) has all the tools in one dashboard for all possible needs of a website to resolve SEO and other issues. Whereas WordPress is more of searching for the right plugin to assist in finding all the issues you might have a need to address.

We originally selected Searchmetrics because we got more bang for our buck. On the research end, we could do unlimited searches without the cost of the service going up. As for the historical data, we could store more trending data and do deeper research than we could with the competitor. The monthly fee was almost half (if i remember correctly, but it's been a few years) of what what we were paying before with a competitor.

Return on Investment

DQM was definitely a positive ROI. We were able to find and fix several issues because of it. This will undoubtedly save us from possible future lawsuits.
DQM has gained IT more trust from Legal. They see that we are being proactive when it comes to potential legal issues.
DQM has taken some of the guesswork out of development. We can easily identify issues and steps to correct them. It has also given us best practice techniques.

It had a positive impact on the ROI. As the websites rank better the revenue raised.
Searchmetrics Suite is an expensive product, it is too expensive for small websites.
