Nozzle vs. SpyFu

The Highlight of the SAAS tool is the UI - A work of art to allow fast decisions on focus keys of interest. This will not work without accuracy and the backup of a content plan to increase future SERP positions.

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.

• - It is great that we can change data SERP frequency to be daily / weekly / monthly / etc to save on limits (My current tracker can’t do this)
• - LOTS of data, and many ways to visualize them
• - Customer service is efficient, you can get them on Live chat. They also have an active Slack channel, and replies are really quick

• Keeping a tab on competitors organic and inorganic activities
• Helps identify where the competitor is getting the backlinks from.
• Identify competitors top content and the keywords that's bringing them traffic
• Get proper information of their current and past ADS run on Google.

• It is hard to understand as a novice in SEO, more hover explanations would be helpful
• I do not think they have automatic reports and notifications but this would be nice to have
• Their sign in process is a bit odd, as you sign in and then get emailed a link

• 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 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.

They are quite different in terms of functionality. The unlimited competitor analysis and brand tracking, data integration are a huge plus for me. Ahrefs and Semrush have established players in the market. Nozzle is able to provide additional insights. One of the biggest issues is that it only supports Google SERP.

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.

• Nozzle has been able to identify 3 specific highly ranking pages of mine so that I can improve them to rank 1
• Nozzle was able to identify several high ranking key words and pages of my competition so that I can specific target those keywords next
• It was able to track multiple key words for 3 companies quickly

• 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!
