Lumar vs. Whitespark Local Citation Finder

If someone is looking for a SEO tool that excels in finding technical issues for a site, Lumar is a fantastic choice. Not only does it outline everything that's wrong, it does a much better job than other tools as to showing you how it the issue is presented. For instance many tools could outline a temporary redirect on your site, but Lumar will show you where that redirect starts, if there's a chain involved, and why it's worth fixing

We have a client base within our organization of about ~5,000, so it can be difficult to keep track of all of their marketing status/standings. The Whitespark Local Citation Finder removes the aspect of human error and ensures that we are providing fast, reliable results for thousands of our clients. Being able to see our competitor's citation summary is a large advantage, not other products such as this provides.

• I find the loading panel during a crawl to be a bit deceptive. It's very hard to tell how long a crawl will take—a more accurate estimate would go a long way.
• I love the "fetch time" tab in theory, but I have a hard time believing it—not that the figure they give is untrue, but I find it at wide variance with other tools. PageSpeedInsights will have a site looking disastrous and DeepCrawl will log it all fetching "quick". But perhaps page speed is just notoriously difficult to assess.

• One small improvement I'd recommend is creating the ability to connect to 3rd party platforms, such as Google Data Studio

It's great once you know how to use it... That being said there can definitely be some hiccups trying to learn the program. Even when writing this review i originally gave it an 8 and realized how many things I didn't even know existed after using it for a couple of years. Not the best 'usability' if you can't even find all the features you might want to use.

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

All of the products I have used have been amazing in their own way, but DeepCrawl makes it easier to put it into visuals. Sometimes when you look at results, it can be quite difficult to get something easy to understand. DeepCrawl gets rid of that, the results are so easy to comprehend. I would recommend it to any data consultant (DC).

We have used BrightLocal in the past, which was a great platform. The biggest difference between Whitespark and BrightLocal is its usability. BrightLocal can be difficult to navigate, while Whitespark is much more straightforward and easily navigatable. Within our large organization, we also use the Whitespark Rank Tracker, so being able to utilize multiple Whitespark products streamlines a lot of our processes.
