Best Tool for Competitive Analysis and Website Audit
Majestic SEO has been used by our organization since five years ago when I recommended it to my management members. It is used for our clients' website analysis, to rid all the onsite issues, and to increase website visibility on search engines. Majestic SEO is used by all our organization and we also recommend it to our third party clients too. We are generally using it for onsite analysis and competitor analysis for our clients.
- It gives very strong onsite analysis report.
- Its customized report is very helpful when an interactive report is needed.
- Its link explorer is also very powerful feature when you're stuck in backlink creation.
- It is not for developers' understanding.
- Backlink explorer does not cover all the links.
- It also excludes some business profiles.

Best Resource to Grow Your Website Usability and Traffic
I have personally used Majestic SEO the past 5 to 6 years, and in our organization, we use it for all of our digital marketing projects and get a very informative approach to fulfill the client's desires for results and conversions. In our organization, only digital marketing teams are using Majestic SEO but, often, it is used by developers too. It helps to track link context, trust flow, referring domains, bulk backlink checker, custom reports, and many other useful website tactics.
- Link context is a very important and useful factor for a website and it is easily got by Majestic SEO.
- Backlink history is also a very important key-factor that is tracked by Majestic SEO.
- You can create custom reports for your clients with this tool too.
- The Keyword checker and rank tracker is also a very useful feature in Majestic SEO.
- Its API for developers and big companies sometime don't give the actual data.
- Rank tracker is not 100% accurate, but you can create a rough estimate by the report.
- Backlink history is also missing some links, but I found them mostly.
- Sometimes site explorer does not give the actual report, so you should check manually too.

A Good All-Around SEO Tool
Currently, Majestic SEO is only being used by our SEO team of three people. There are instances in which we collaborate with other teams that we take advantage of Majestic's simple interface to make presentations and create buy-in, however, the tool is usually only used by our SEO team, who find it very effective and powerful.
- It measures trust and authority very effectively.
- It has accurate backlink profile tracking.
- It is fairly user-friendly.
- Not very effective in keyword research.
- Less powerful than certain competitors.
- Hard to generate reports.

Great and trustworthy tool for backlink and competitive research
We use tools like Majestic for research purposes among other things. It works well to analyze websites that we are considering to outreach for content placement. While many of the other tools on the market can do the same thing, their metrics can be more easily manipulated. I think that most marketers agree that Majestic is the gold standard when it comes to researching the validity of a companies natural growth over time as it relates to their backlinks.
They are also great for competitive research. This is especially true if you monitor any competitors closely as you can search for activity by dates which is not offered by many of its competitors.

- Backlink research.
- Competitor research.
- Tracking backlinks.
- Index of backlinks could be bigger
- Date range for searching backlink history could be larger as well, would be awesome to have an unlimited time frame instead of 90 days.

Majestic SEO is a Great Tool for Medium to Enterprise Businesses
We use Majestic SEO in the marketing department to help inform online content decisions. In conjunction with Moz and HubSpot, Majestic provides a valuable deep dive into how content is working on search engines. Majestic provides a clean and reliable database of links that are not mixed with irrelevant links. It enables us to see how content has performed over time, even before the Digital Media Specialist role existed.
- Site and Search Explorer
- Historical backlink checker
- Powerful API for full customers
- Pricing gets expensive, quick
- Historical charts could go back further, but this is a rather unique feature anyway.
Majestic SEO is a cornerstone of solid SEO strategy. They're one of the best in the industry for monitoring and improving inbound website links. With Majestic you can track new, leaving, and existing inbound links, while weighing their overall value, so you can make positive recommendations for ongoing link-building strategies.
Their Site Explorer and Trust Flow are an invaluable piece of SEO and have yet to be matched by other large SEO platforms.
Their Site Explorer and Trust Flow are an invaluable piece of SEO and have yet to be matched by other large SEO platforms.
- Backlink review is really done well. Majestic set the standard when it came to creating a full historical backlink review platform as the highlight to their functionality.
- Competitor SEO Analysis is very useful with Majestic, being able to not only pull all SEO data, but historical information as well, which allows you to track the ongoing SEO efforts of your competition.
- The Search Explorer tool is really handy. It allows you to scan the Majestic index to see where certain keywords appear in SEO. This is extremely useful for very large websites that have a lot of evergreen content.
- Many competitors to Majestic are adding the same functionality as Majestic, so it makes it hard to keep all the tools when they all have similar functionality.
- The Trust Flow and Topical Trust Flow are based on the Majestic standards. It would be nice if there was a standard practice to creating these SEO Ranks that could be used universally.
- There are extra features such as Subnets and IPs that I've never really found useful, but that doesn't mean they aren't. I would prefer if Majestic could stick to implementing new features for backlink acquisition if possible.

Majestic SEO is a Must Have for SEOs
I am a very small agency and tools are super important to me. We use Majestic SEO to research and audit the SEO of our prospective clients and their competition. We also use it to measure our clients' progress. Majestic's proprietary metrics - Trust Flow and Citation Flow (TF-CF) - are the standard in the SEO world. It helps us analyze the strength of a domain and gives us clues as to what can/should be done to grow. The backlink analysis from Majestic is critical.
- Topical Trust Flow
- Citation Flow
- Backlink Profile & History
- Anchor Text profile
- Can be confusing to beginners until they start learning what they're seeing. Lots of confusion about what REALLY is Trust Flow and Citation Flow
- Some very valuable/critical tools are only available in the PRO level (minimum $99/mo). So it can be pricey if you're just getting started
- Free version is extremely limited.

Great for your backlink analysis. But that's about it
Majestic is most beneficial when I need to pull all backlinks for my SEO backlink analysis. I have yet to find a better tool that would provide this much and detailed data.
We've used Majestic as part of our strategic analysis on a bi-weekly basis.
We've used Majestic as part of our strategic analysis on a bi-weekly basis.
- Provides the most comprehensive list of backlinks I have yet to find anywhere else.
- While Majestic is a fantastic tool for discovering yours and competitors' backlinks, the rest of the features are not so useful, and I always have to use the tool in combination with Moz, SEM Rush, and Ahrefs.

Fast Website Impression
Majestic is the tool we use first to check out a website as a quick overview of the trust and citation. The topical trust overview gives us a bit of an insight in where backlinks come from and then we go further to the backlinks.
Majestic is fast and gives a good overview. To go deeper into the backlinks, other tools are better.
- Fast website profile
- Topical trust, information into topics/categories
- Trust and Citation parameters
- Majestic could have more backlinks
- Some countries have less data than others

Majestic SEO - Old School is the best school
We use Majestic in Marketing department and it's mostly used to track backlink profiles of our competitors. Majestic provides the ability to track how backlinks of competitors websites change, so it easy to find out if a recent move in competitor rankings had anything to do with new backlinks. On top of that we can download those backlinks with a lot of additional information like theme of the website (very useful for identifying relevant links for your website) and other more common metrics.
- I like Majestic's own metrics Trust and Citation flow, that are very representative of the real value of the website and it's potential effect on the rankings of the website it's linking to.
- Also, theme (topic) of the website is very useful in the backlink report. This allows to easily identify backlinks relevant to your business.
- The index of number of backlinks that is provided by Majestic is usually a lot bigger than the indexes of their competitors.
- Lost link tracker is very useful for tracking dropped links of your projects (you can verify and track multiple domains). This allows to keep track on how many of your ads and articles stay live and sometimes we contact publishers to tell them that their changes on the website (i.e. updates) caused our article or link to go down.

A Truly Majestic SEO Tool
I use Majestic to find valuable domain properties that have relevant links and to determine if they may be penalized for spam. I usually evaluate these domain properties if they are newly expired so that I may acquire them and use them for relevant projects. Domains that I don't use can be resold for a profit or can be held until we need them.
- Provides useful backlink profile. If you can see who is linking to a particular domain you can usually tell if the domain is worthwhile.
- Ranks trust factor of domains. Very useful in determine if the property is trustworthy and therefore more valuable.
- Give insight into competitors' linking strategies. It's always good to know what your competitors are up to.
- The user interface could be a bit easier to navigate.
- I'd like to see a better explanation of terms used when exploring a domain.

Majestic SEO is an essential tool for us!
We are a Search Engine Optimization company and we use Majestic SEO all the time. This tool is used across the whole organization and is like a swiss army knife for our team. For example, when we are doing a backlink audit of a website, we can check its backlinks with Majestic and quickly determine the number of referring domains, which tells us how many links website has.
- Majestic SEO provides a detailed list of backlinks that a website has
- It's great for backlink audits
- Looking at the anchor text profile you can determine how "spammy" backlinks are of some websites if they use too aggressive and keyword rich anchor texts
- Top linked pages can tell you which pages on the website got most links. This helps to determine which topic has a link earning potential.
- Interface is quick and easy to use but it could be a bit nicer looking
- Dates, when links were indexed, seem to show weird numbers sometimes. Old links are shown as freshly indexed.
- Charts with backlink history are also sometimes showing weird graphs.

Majestic SEO is an all in one tool. A must have for any SEO.
Majestic SEO is primarily used by the SEO team. They use it for making sure we are not getting spammed and keep a close eye on the competitor activities. Majestic SEO can be very helpful in deciding the marketing strategy of the company as well as supporting the Sales team in market research.
- Has a lot of data and pretty quick in updating the fresh as well as the historic database.
- Cheaper compared to other tools.
- Easy to use and the tutorial explains everything.
- Data can be easily exported and analyzed further in Excel.
- Can be slow sometimes, but depends on how much data is being loaded.
- Has limit with respect to downloads.

How do you improve SEO ranking?
Majestic SEO is being used by our marketing department. We use it as one of our tools in determining the quality of websites we interact with.
- Majestic SEO provides accurate information for trust and citation flows which are very useful in our analysis.
- It also provides relevant data for making conclusions and reports when needed.
- I also find it very convenient since everything is one click away.
- Sometimes, Majestic SEO can be slow, especially when used with a Chrome plug in.

Majestic - It just WORKS and it is AFFORDABLE
We use Majestic for backlink analysis for our clients as well as for competitive analysis and for identifying prospective new clients for our business.
- Majestic has one of the largest, if not in fact THE largest, inventory of internet links. For backlink analysis that's extremely important.
- Majestic does everything we need at a MUCH more affordable price than their main competitor.
- Their clique hunter tool is very interesting for identifying backlink opportunities.
- Their Chrome browser extension is very clever and useful.
- Their UI is dated and a bit hard to understand.
Majestic SEO, in my eyes is one of the pioneering tools in SEO landscape. We have been doing SEO for a long time and ever since I remember, we have used Majestic SEO for a long time now. We widely use the tool in consulting when doing SEO/backlink analysis for our clients.
- One of the best uses of the tool is to find backlinks.
- It's a great tool to get trust flow and citation flow that provides an overview about the health of the backlinks.
- Also we love the anchor text option in the tool.
- The tool is also very helpful in showing anchor text distribution.
- Majestic SEO can do a better job in presenting the data in a better and more useful form.
- Maybe Majestic SEO can refresh their database more often as often times there is a big discrepancy in the number of links found by the tool and its competitors.
- Its too much focused on links. Other tools like SEMRush also show rankings etc.
MajesticSEO is been extensively used when my team and I are performing link analysis on our brand and sometimes on our competitor sites. The tool definitely comes in handy to understand where my brand stands when it comes to link building and how much effort needs to be added to our roadmap for link earning initiatives.
- Analyzing historic and recent links to a website
- Researching on any link related Google penality
- Monitoring link earning project performance
- Link Audit
- Link reporting
- Project management for Link building initiaves
- Identify links from penalized websites
- Monitor to say how close are you to getting penalized by Google
- General characteristics of spammy links from all the data that Majestic SEO has

Solid link analysis and presentation ready visuals
Majestic SEO was brought on as another tool to analyze backlinks for current customers and prospects. It was used in addition to the information given in Google Search Console (GSE) and Moz's Open Site Explorer (OSE) to get the most accurate view of backlinks, as well as little more history on backlinks as well, which GSC and OSE can lack on. With past Penguin updates and an upcoming one, this is a good tool to help identify poor quality links.
- It takes a more visual approach than other backlink tools which can be used for presentations or just simply analyzing the data in a new way. The anchor text word cloud is a favorite.
- It dives into backlink history which is so useful when analyzing prospects. It's something not a lot of tools offer.
- The pricing for the amount of info you get is reasonable.
- It offers a lot of information but there's usually some training or reading that has to happen to understand what all of their terminology means and refers to.
- While it does links well, it only offers that. In comparison, other tools don't offer as much detail, but enough to get by. And they have more functionality and analytics features.
- Since it's only a link tool, it can be a hard sell on budget when you already have a tool like Moz's Open Site Explorer. OSE doesn't do as much but it can still do a lot.

Being that Majestic SEO is a link-based SEO tool I found it's most effective use (aka when I'll subscribe) happens to be when I'm assisting in an SEO recovery.
When reviewing a backlink profile I will useMajestic SEO in addition to the Google Web Master Tools "latest links" export feature to ensure I've got a complete scope of my clients inbound link profiles. It's amazing to see what Majestic will have picked up that Google Web Master Tools hasn't yet. Without a doubt if you're reviewing a website's inbound link profile Majestic is a Must.

- Extensive database of links. Coupled with GWMT link export will provide a near perfect link audit.
- Provide a phenomenal historical link index, when picking up new SEO clients the historical data will prove to be vital in assessing previous optimization engagements.
- Link your GWMT account to Majestic to receive free reports for all your verified GWMT websites.
- PDF Reporting! I need not say more.
- Needs much better support. Contact forms are simply not enough.

Majestic SEO - Find all the links

I use Majestic SEO to determine our own site's back link profile from month to month. While I have trained other members of the content team on this this software, I am the software's primary user.
Majestic helps us determine the quality of our own back links and the quality of competitors' back links so that we can refine our link building strategy to improve our search engine rankings. It also helps us track down and deal with spammy links that are created unnaturally without our approval.
Majestic helps us determine the quality of our own back links and the quality of competitors' back links so that we can refine our link building strategy to improve our search engine rankings. It also helps us track down and deal with spammy links that are created unnaturally without our approval.
- Majestic has a "fresh" and "historic" index, which is fantastic because it allows us to compare our historical back link profile to our extant back links. This provides us with some decent metrics for getting a rough idea of how our back link profile has improved over time.
- Majestic's crawl is one of the most comprehensive I have ever seen. MOZ and SEMRush (both services we pay for) have a crawler that finds back links, but it turns up only a fraction of what Majestic does in a given month.
- Majestic's reports provide really handy flags for discovered links (mention, alt text, rel="follow"/"nofollow", etc.) that allow me to make judgment calls about each link without having to look at the site code. The reports the software spits out don't need to be cleaned up much in Excel, either--they're set up pretty logically already. This allows me to sort and filter by the presence or absence of these flags so I don't have to look at things on such a granular level.
- Majestic is extremely generous with running reports on our own domain. All you need to do is add a .txt file to your root directory, allow Majestic to discover it, and then back link reports on your own domain become free. Reports on competitors' domains cost credits.
- Majestic is powerful, but not particularly intuitive out of the box. Fortunately, they provide free training over the phone (first come, first serve) and their customer service is wonderful.
- Majestic lacks features often present in other SEO suites like MOZ and SEMRush (think keyword research tools), but their back link crawl is so comprehensive that the software is well worth the money.
- It's a little bit on the pricey side.
