SEOTesting.com is great in monitoring the results of implemented SEO optimisations. SEOTesting.com also has extensive content analysis reports that make it really easy to find long hanging fruits for content optimisation. However, I would not recommend SEOTesting.com for rank tracking and it has no tools for technical SEO. But if you pair SEOTesting.com with some other SEO tools of your preference, you get a really valuable toolset with decent pricing.

A de minimis incentive was given to thank the reviewer for their time. The incentive was not used to bias or drive a particular response, nor was the incentive contingent on a positive endorsement. More Info
The way UpCity verifies items in your marketing checklist (like whether you have social accounts, you're on Google, etc,) helps my business, and others, save precious time having to manually verify them yourself.
I love the impact scores and estimated time shown on each task to give us a feel of how much we are doing each month and what value that time spent is.
The "about" and "how to" section on tasks makes it very clear how to accomplish each task.

SEOTesting.com is NOT all-in-one SEO tool. But what it does, it does really well.
Rank Tracking requires to fill landing page per keyword. That doesn't make sense as the desired landing page is not always the best ranking landing page for each keyword.
Dashboards timelines should have some options to select only the desired timeframe. Then it would be sometimes easier to look at only the last two months for example.
The account person is quick to respond, though issues reported required support of other teams with no SLA. The data is easily comprehensible and the platform is incredibly versatile. Sometimes scanning problems take weeks to diagnose and fix. The learning curve for SEOTesting.com is minimal
Usability is mediocre: They have a dashboard to track things but they have some antiquated system of ranking companies and don’t tell you what the logic is behind it. You also have no way to combat negative ratings or respond and try to correct them.
I received little help from customer service rep, Sarah. She told me I should speak to a manager to “reset my expectations”. Apparently, all the sales promises of more traffic and increase SEO were an issue with my expectations, and not the company failing to deliver.
SEOTesting.com is a very specific, focused too. It's not "better than" the other tools. It does something they don't do well: gets data from your SEO results out into an easily-read, easily-reported format so you can 1. learn from what's working and what's not 2. show your team what success & failure look like 3. demonstrate to your boss/client the short-run benefits of investing in SEO Search Console has all the data in it. In fact, SEOTesting.com gets its data from Search Console. But you are going to waste your time and your colleagues time if you try to monitor granular, week-by-week progress for different pages in Search Console. SEOTesting is awesome at that. Use Ahrefs and/or Semrush to get ideas on how to improve your website's content and tech SEO. Then make the changes. Then use SEOTesting.com to find out if it worked!
We selected UpCity primarily because of the ongoing services they provide. The UpCity software is a simple platform that enables us to easily show progress and ROI to our clients.
