Likelihood to Recommend SEOGadget is ideal when using vendors like
Moz and Majestic for analysis of your backlinks. It is not the tool to use if you need to gain more backlinks or want to increase your backlink. It can help you edit your backlink profile and understand where the links come from. It is probably ideal for in-house teams studying larger sites with lots of links and trying to understand their link partners, or an agency/freelancer that needs to import data from multiple sources to help clients with link profiles. It is not the tool to target new link opportunities, but with some ingenuity you could probably use it for this if you an access your competitor data. It's also good for anchor analysis which is something few teams really look into.
Read full review Yoast Wordpress SEO Plugins is really great for any application - home pages, blogs, etc. It saves a lot of time researching keywords, but it is time-consuming crafting content, which I think is a necessary evil. I wasn't really seeing the immediate results I had hoped for, but there could be a variety of reasons for that (cookies, caches, etc.). Overall, if you have the time to dedicate and utilize the tool, it's awesome!
Read full review Pros Authentication is simple and requires no real in-depth knowledge Importing of data into Excel saves time and saves us an extra step which is really important Working with the data we need to see is much easier and faster Collects multiple sources and saves time logging in Data analysis is simple and straight forward Read full review Evaluate the SEO score of any given page's content. Makes it simple to manage the title and description for a page (what shows up on Google search results). Boils down complicated topics such as canonical URLs for non-technical users. Easy explanations for any and all options, including why to use or not use an option. Read full review Cons More flexibility in creating tables would be easier, as not all tables were able to be created this might be user error in some cases More data imports would be nice this could be more of a one-and-done package, right now it only imports links Added functionality to analyze data would be nice Read full review Density: Because even the free, basic Yoast SEO tool has SO MANY FEATURES, if you're brand new to SEO as a concept/practice, you might feel a little overwhelmed at first. Just go watch the training videos! Bulk Title Editing: I'm sure this tool can be useful, but I've never found it to be particularly intuitive or helpful. Limitations: I'm grasping at straws here, but it would be nice if some of the premium (paid) features- specifically the social media previews- were available in the free version. Like I said, grasping. Read full review Likelihood to Renew I see no reason to discontinue using Yoast as it has been very beneficial for my website and my business.
Read full review Usability All the information is integrated on-screen while writing content and the scores and related score elements (i.e. paragraph/sentence length, transition words, keyphrase density, etc.) are all updated live as I write which I think is amazingly helpful.
Read full review Support Rating There are plenty of amazing articles published on their site, however, I don't rate their actual support team as being particularly helpful. I made multiple points of contact regarding the internal link counter not working and even though they began troubleshooting I think when it became too hard it was just forgotten about and so is still unresolved.
Read full review Alternatives Considered This includes more data and makes backlink analysis easier because you don't have to build sheets and tables from scratch. While it doesn't directly compare (it uses some of these services) it is better suited for the custom analysis of data and that is a big help when you do a lot of data manipulation. It's easier and more streamlined than Knime, and Knime does not allow you to import directly from
Moz or Majestic so a step is saved here. It can't do as much as Knime but most of the things you want to do it can do, and you can do them faster.
