HighLevel
HighLevel is a great "all round" system for managing marketing campaign, for both your own business and for the campaigns of clients. It has all the tools you need to build and run campaigns successfully. It is less well suited for specialized services, such as building landing pages and the the fast load of those pages.

Pros
HighLevel
  • All-in-one
  • Intuitive
  • Cost-effective, especially for a small business
Read full review
SeoSamba
  • Automates multisite SEO, so we can stay focused on great content that attracts the right audience for our two entirely different strategic business units.
  • Eliminates the surprises we used to get with other plugins when Wordpress makes unannounced changes that crash other plugins.
  • Agile, easy to use, and saves hours of time and creative resources
  • Automates metric capture: site analytics, keyword/phrase capture, search engine page results etc...in an online dashboard (and it's free).

SeoSamba
  • It has a lot of features. So, it's kind of difficult to get started and to learn every feature in the software. However, once you get used to SambaSaaS, it's fairly easy to navigate.

Usability
HighLevel
HighLevel is a great tool, and is a real "all rounder" that helps agencies keep costs down and profits high. It really does serve the majority of marketing agency needs, but it does fall down slightly on some specialist areas, where a dedicated CRM would be best for example. It can be a little tricky to use and buggy, which does cause some frustration sometimes.

Alternatives Considered
HighLevel
HighLevel is all-in-one, so varying functions of the aforementioned tools are all covered by HighLevel, albeit not as robust as each of them when stacked against their features and functions. But since small businesses usually would not have that deep need, HighLevel is the cost-effective solution that puts everything in one place.

SeoSamba
Prior to SeoSamba we were making manual changes. Then we started researching several possible other plugins but the reviews all said the same - that if WP made significant enough changes those plugins would become ineffective. SeoSamba's ability to automate optimization and keep up with/stay ahead of those changes was the deciding factor for us.
