DeepCrawl
It is useful for our clients to help identify where there are any issues and what improvements should be made. We are able to use all the counts of each elements to work out which to prioritise and create an action plan for our clients. If a team isn't able to implement any of the insights from within this tool, then it probably wouldn't be worth the money

Surfer is well suited for:
  • Creating (and resisting) articles and web pages to increase their SEO relevancy for a keyword.
  • To identify NLP terms and the frequency of terms to be added to the page
  • To find internal linking opportunities
  • To plan pillar pages/topic clusters
Surfer is not a tool for
  • Technical SEO
  • Crawl Audits
  • Serp / Keyword Tracking
  • Project Management

Pros
DeepCrawl
  • The primary Dashboard is pretty excellent—not too much stuff to look at, just the main issues and a hierarchical breakdown of the site structure
  • I love the Broken Links tab—this is a super simple way to find what's broken so you can fix site circulation issues
  • The indexation tab is really nice too—no need to surf through thousands of URLs in a spreadsheet to assess the index

Cons
DeepCrawl
  • DeepCrawl really doesn't have too many problems, to be honest.
  • I would only say that there is a pay per use issue, it is quite expensive. But if I am honest, it is worth every penny.

Surfer
  • AI Writing: This is a new feature, and in comparison to alternatives it's poor both from a pricing and result perspective
  • Monthly Pricing: Surfer used to a clear value for money solution, it's somewhat pricing out solo-operators with the current pricing model
  • Backlinks: Surfer does have a backlink crawler, but it's quite limited

Support Rating
DeepCrawl
I liked the platform overall. It is a good crawler. I no longer use because it's duplicate of what I get with seoClarity. I did not give it 10/10 because sometimes I had a hard time isolating site areas that I wanted and didn't get much technical support from Conductor on how to use the tool

Alternatives Considered
DeepCrawl
DeepCrawl is a great tool when compared to other similar solutions. What sets it apart from the competition in my experience with it, is the convenience of the cloud. In addition to having a multitude of tools faced by a digital marketer in today's landscape from analysis of site backlinks to competition analysis.

Frase gives a lot of content to use, but it doesn't give you the factors you need to rank. This is ultimately why we use SurferSEO over any other editor tool that is out there. The analytics are number one to the entire space.
