GroSocial (Discontinued Product) vs. Link Research Tools

If you use social media and need to grow as a company this is the tool for you! However, be prepared to learn a lot on your own.

Incentivized

Definitely the best tool for prospecting potential links and helping to clean up link profiles. It also helps you to consider other potential link opportunities that you may not have thought about. Its ability to find more links than most other tools certainly sets itself apart from most of the competition.

• Increase Leads
• Increase Sales
• Increase Customers

Incentivized

• fast Google penalty recovery
• keeps a healthy backlink profile
• calculates the opportunity or risk of potential links that are not built yet, so you can go only after the good ones
• gives you fresh data from 26 link sources and lets you analyze the full backlink profile. Google search console gives you only a sample of your backlink profile.
• powerful link prospecting made easy
• possibility to connect with Pitchbox (professional outreach tool for link removal and link building campaigns), SEMRUSH, Ahrefs, GSC

• When Infusionsoft purchased GroSocial it seemed like product development ceased. Many other companies surpassed their abilities.
• They are very expensive for what they offer. Many other companies now offer better platforms, for far less.
• When there was an issue (ie in a campaign, or link broke etc) the support team would blame the client first, when in most cases it could be proven to be a software malfunction.
• Tabs are no longer smart phone friendly. When we stopped using GroSocial they had not set up the redirect link at that time. This may have changed now.
• When you manage multiple accounts, your client could stop your access to their account. They could then stop paying for the service, and their tabs would still be live. GroSocial is the only one who could disable the tabs. It was not automatic.

• Accessibility - the layout is not as intuitive as it should be. Of course, this is a professional tool and not meant for the faint of heart. However, the design elements could be more intuitive.
• Redundant tools - our company utilizes several of the tools to help audit and augment our client profiles. Some of the tools may be a bit redundant. However, it's not a terribly big deal, as we just don't use those tools.
• Limited searches for certain price points - I understand that there has to be competitive pricing especially with the level that Link Research Tools is offering. However, it would be nice to have unlimited searches.

Incentivized

GroSocial quite simply does not stack up to the competition. They are years behind in development. We have moved all our clients to other platforms.

Link Research Tools are the only tools that gives us the most backlinks. No other tools finds as many backlinks to the website than LRT. LRT takes Backlinks from 25 Sources, even historic Backlinks from Majestic (>5 Years). It is very important if you disavow links that you have the best view on the links and that you can have as many Backlinks as possible for your audit.

• The idea of GroSocial far outweight the frustration you experience when using the platform.
• We saw no marked increase in anything using this product.

Incentivized

• When we removed Google Manual Penalty, SEO visibility went up and we saw some sales increase
• We now have cleaner and healthier backlink portfolio and not in danger of any radical Google interventions
• We now know in advance which websites are good to build links on - this is not only good for traffic but for SEO visibility and at the end for sales overall
