Backlink Review Platform: Majestic's backlink review platform has been well-received by users, who find it to be comprehensive and efficient. It allows them to track historical backlinks and perform competitor SEO analysis, providing valuable insights into ongoing SEO efforts.

Search Explorer Tool: Users highly praise Majestic's Search Explorer tool for its usefulness. They appreciate the ability to scan the extensive Majestic index and easily identify where specific keywords appear in SEO. This feature is particularly beneficial for large websites with a substantial amount of evergreen content.

Extensive Database of Links: The vast database of links offered by Majestic is seen as a significant advantage by many users. They value the ease with which they can find backlinks and obtain metrics such as trust flow and citation flow, which provide an overview of the health of these backlinks.

Limited Backlink Index: Some users have expressed a desire for a larger index of backlinks. They feel that the current index is not extensive enough to meet their needs.

Restricted Date Range for Backlink History: Several reviewers have mentioned that they would like a longer time frame for searching backlink history. The current limitation of 90 days does not allow them to analyze long-term trends effectively.

Lack of Value in Extra Features: A number of users have found the additional features offered by Majestic SEO, such as Subnets and IPs, to be not very useful. They believe that these features do not add much value to their SEO efforts.

Users commonly recommend the following based on their experiences with Majestic:

  • Try out the free features: Users have suggested trying out the free features of Majestic before making a purchase. This allows users to get a feel for the tool's capabilities and determine if it fits their needs.

  • Use in conjunction with other tools: Many users recommend using Majestic as a supplement to other SEO tools, such as Moz and Ahrefs. By combining the data from multiple sources, users can obtain a more comprehensive dataset for their analysis.

  • Learn and understand metrics: Users advise taking the time to understand the Trust Flow (TF) and Citation Flow (CF) metrics in Majestic. These metrics provide insights into the quality and quantity of backlinks to a website, which can be valuable for improving SEO strategies.

Overall, users find Majestic to be a reliable and valuable tool for analyzing website traffic and improving backlinks. While they suggest exploring other backlink tracking sites before making a decision, many users consider Majestic to be the gold standard in terms of backlink investigation.

  • Faster approval of backlink strategy because it was easier for internal and external clients to grasp strategy
  • Won accounts because of data used in technical site audit
Feel that Majestic data is more trustworthy, consistent api - maybe not as flashy but dependable.

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.
I would highly recommend Majestic SEO to any agency, or consultant. It is a vital tool in any digital marketers toolbelt. Remember, if you have your GWMT account linked to Majestic any websites verified in your GWMT receive free reports!
  • Efficient monitoring of backlinks and proactive link removals allow us to retain clients throughout algorithm changes whilst also opening up a new sales channel for SEO recoveries.
  • SEO PowerSuite,Moz,RavenTools
Amazingly, the ability to receive free reports for websites your own is something I don't see it's competitors offering anytime soon.
Negative SEO is becoming rampant in this industry. YOU MUST MONITOR LINKS ALL THE TIME NOW.
Change management was a major issue with the implementation

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 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.
Are you interested in discovering virtually EVERY back link your site has? This is the software you want to buy. If somebody is targeting you with a black hat campaign you want to combat, or if you're dying to figure out what a competitor is doing back link-wise (and want to divine their strategy on an extremely granular level), Majestic is the tool you want.
  • Improved rankings in SERPs (Google & Bing).
  • A more refined vision of what our link building strategy should be.
  • A better understanding of how bloggers share our content.
  • SEMRush,MOZ
Majestic SEO lacks some of the features of SEMRush and MOZ, but these features are simply not what the software focuses on (or even claims to focus on). Majestic's all about the crawl--from what I've seen (and I've compared monthly crawl data provided by these other platforms to the crawl data provided by Majestic), Majestic SEO's crawl is the most comprehensive and the most regular. It also provides data that are marked up in a way that is extremely useful to SEOs, and it's easy to configure reports to give you only the data you want.
Once you've grown accustomed to the depth and accuracy of Majestic's crawl, it's hard to consider paying for anything else (or settling for free options). SEMRush and MOZ can get you somewhere, but in the right hands, a tool as powerful as Majestic can do a lot for a business's link building strategy.

I use this product to analyze backlinks
  • Displays historical backlink data
  • Displays current backlink data
  • Displays competitor data
  • Freezes on export
if you are not technologically savvy you may have difficulty understanding. It requires at least basic knowledge of seo reporting.
  • it allowed me to identify spam links from a previous link building service that should have been deleted years ago
  • Moz,google analytics,webmaster tools
It has a much richer backlink analysis tool. Open site explorer from Moz is a runner up, but I feel like Majestic SEO is more comprehensive.
I do not feel that there is any other service available that provides as much in depth and accurate backlink analysis as Majestic SEO.
