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.,9,Very cost-effective.
Easy to use and to train on.
Even though it is cost-effective, it has a high monthly cost.,SEMRush, Ahrefs Site Explorer and Moz,Moz, SEMRush, Ahrefs Site ExplorerNathan RichardsonGreat and trustworthy tool for backlink and competitive research2018-12-20T19:40:04.028ZWe 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.,10,Having associations with sites that have bad backlinks can be have a negative effect on SEO which means negative ROI in your efforts.
On the flip side, doing the proper research can help your outreach efforts and increase ROI significantly, it is hard to scale and attribute it directly to the tool but it definitely saves time and effort from not associating with bad sites and that is worth a lot.,Moz, SEMRush and Ahrefs Site Explorer,Moz, SEMRush, Ahrefs Site ExplorerRamon KhanMajestic SEO: In-Depth Backlink Analysis for Large-Scale SEO Programs2018-12-12T17:57:56.137ZMajestic 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.,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.,8,We've used Majestic to acquire new backlinks for clients by scanning competitors, reviewing their backlink profiles, and targeting some of the same domains. These backlinks have had solid performance improvements for client SERPS leading to increased conversions from organic.
With many various tactics underway for SEO, it is hard to attribute exact value to Majestic, except knowing it's a critical tool in any SEO arsenal. We cannot say the $99 Pro Tools have attributed to a 10x ROI, for example. So it's a soft positive ROI, but definitely worth the price.
Providing clients with in-depth SEO reporting gives clients the opportunity to review data to help bring about more positive SEO changes, primarily content, which can promote long-term organic growth.,Moz, SEMRush, Ahrefs Site Explorer, Yoast Wordpress SEO Plugins and Screaming Frog SEO SpiderAaron MetzgerMajestic SEO is a Great Tool for Medium to Enterprise Businesses2018-12-12T18:01:21.275ZWe use Majestic SEO in the marketing department to help inform online content decisions.

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.,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.,5,It was very useful in terms of pulling those backlinks. However, we were essentially paying for that one functionality.,,SEMRush, Serpstat, DossierKsenia NewtonFast Website Impression2018-05-09T15:20:56.928ZMajestic is the tool we use first to check out a website as a quick overview of the trust and citation.

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.,UI is not the best, navigation in Ahrefs is a lot more intuitive.
Freshness of backlinks index is not always the freshest (it takes a couple more days to see new backlinks than in Ahrefs).,9,It definitely had positive ROI for us, as we saved time on link building, but exporting competitor data and giving it to cheaper freelancers (i.e. the ones that didn't know how to mine the data themselves).,Ahrefs Site Explorer, SEMRush and Conductor Searchlight,Ahrefs Site Explorer, SEMRush, Conductor SearchlightVerified UserA Truly Majestic SEO Tool2018-02-05T15:45:40.290ZI use Majestic to find valuable domain properties that have relevant links and to determine if they may be penalized for spam.

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.,8,T summarize: it delivers on the promise. It's a site management/link profile analysis tool and it does a great job with that.

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.

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 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.,8,Improved rankings in SERPs (Google & Bing).

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.,6,Helped our team scope prospects effectively. Gives us insight into if a prospect has done manipulative link building in the past and helps us to determine if they are a good fit.
Helps our team generate nice reports and presentations with their visuals like anchor text word clouds, graphs and charts. Easier for customers to digest.
