Open Site Explorer, used by The Search Guru's technical services and analytics reporting teams, is a valuable tool for examining the quality of clients' and competitors' link profiles. Users heavily rely on the Domain Authority metric to gauge a site's strength in search engines compared to others in the same industry. SEO professionals use Open Site Explorer to analyze backlinks, develop link building strategies, and gain valuable SEO insights such as an overview of sites linking to a website and Page or Site Authority numbers. The tool also helps users gain insight into their competition's inbound links and identify the types of links needed for their own websites. Moz Link Explorer is trusted by marketing teams to improve SEO performance, understand inbound link profiles, and track the success of their link building strategies while assessing new sites linking to their domains.
Helpful Link Comparison Feature: Many users have found the link comparison feature in the tool extremely helpful, allowing them to easily compare link metrics side by side among multiple sites, including both their own website and competitors' sites.
Convenient Filter Options: Reviewers appreciate the ability to filter links based on various criteria such as link equity, followed and redirected links from external sites and internal pages. This feature makes it convenient for users to analyze specific types of links and gather valuable insights.
Export to Excel Functionality: The export to Excel functionality has been praised by many users as a great addition. It allows them to examine the links in detail and easily sort them according to their preference, enhancing their ability to work with the data outside of the tool.
Slow Excel report generation: Some users have mentioned that generating Excel reports in the tool can be time-consuming. They state that it takes a while for the reports to generate, which can be frustrating when they need quick access to data.
Lack of instant data export: Several reviewers express their desire for an instant export feature to quickly access and download data without any delays.
Advanced reports require subscription: A number of users note that advanced reports, necessary for larger websites, are only available with a subscription to Moz Pro, which may incur additional costs. Users find this requirement inconvenient and would prefer if these features were included in the standard offering of the tool.
