GroupHigh vs. SpyFu

I'd say GroupHigh is well-suited for anyone who is looking for a mass amount of influencers with ranging topics. It's very helpful in finding an abundant amount of influencers with very specific topics. If you're looking for something with very accurate numbers, this probably isn't the best bet as I have found many discrepancies

If you have a Google ads PPC campaign and then I would say this is more or less essential if you want to know what your competitors are doing. You can get very useful data out of it even if you subscribe for one month. And the pricing is very reasonable. Even if you don't use Google ads, I would say this is still useful for your SEO/SMO team since it gives you a great idea of what keywords and traffic your competitors are working on.

• My biggest problem with GroupHigh is that most times, their numbers are way off for the influencers. Sometimes, it tells me that an influencer has only 200 unique monthly visitors when they really have tens of thousands.
• I'd love if they had email addresses for all influencers.
• The UI can be a bit tricky to navigate at times.

Incentivized

• As with any database, their keyword database has limits, so the data returned is relative to their database, not necessarily the full picture.
• When SpyFu database or scoring chances, the data provided can spike, thus causing confusion among stakeholders, we're reporting to.

Love this tool but would like insights from all 3 major search engines not just Google. I would also like deeper understanding of the placement for local businesses on Google Places/Maps. Insight into mobile search rankings and best landing pages per industry would also help :) Overall, SpyFu is a necessity for serious search marketers.

SpyFu is an easy to use tool, and has a self -explanatroy dashborad to generate the data needed to provide insights into any B2B SEO and PPC campaign. It is not comprehensive, but it certainly provides good enough insight to make it a valuable part of any agency tool stack

SpyFu comes with a link to tutorial videos. I recommend you watch them. The software is capable of so much you really need to watch the videos and learn how to get the most out of it. When I have a question 90% of the time it's there. When it isn't, and I reach out to them, support is always quick and concise.

While Tracx can be useful in finding influencers based off of certain keywords, I find that GroupHigh is more reliable in providing an abundant amount of options for me to choose from. The UI for Tracx is also a bit trickier than GroupHigh so if I had to choose, I'd go with GroupHigh over it

I was surprised to find I preferred Semrush when it comes to keyword research. SpyFu is great (and less expensive than Semrush), but I felt the data Semrush provided was vaster than SpyFu. I was able to get more competitors spending insights in Semrush than SpyFu. Overall, I liked the ability to use both in our keyword research for both paid and organic marketing.

• It's helped us source influencers so I'd say it helps us with KPI (key points of interest)

• Helping us track our ranking.
• It helps solve the problem of ambiguity when it comes to Google Ads. It makes the strategy more clear.
• You can sift through lots of different online analytics to find the information, but it takes way too long. SpyFu has it all in one place!
