Overall Satisfaction with CognitiveSEO

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I primarily use the content optimization features to ensure our content is structured to perform well in search and the link auditing features to mitigate any risk of negative search engine outcomes from our organic backlink profile.

Pros and Cons

Pros

The link auditing features are fast and easy to use
The platform is constantly being improved with interesting beta features
The content optimization tool is clever

Cons

The interface can be clunky
It's a bit too all-in-one for me as I use other solutions for features like rank tracking and mentions
You are unlikely to use all the features you are paying for

Return on Investment

Beneficial performance in content optimization
Mitigating risk from backlink profile
Linkbuilding from mentions monitoring

Alternatives Considered

Moz, Ahrefs Site Explorer and Majestic SEO

CognitiveSEO has some unique content optimization features and backlink analysis and auditing features that set it apart from other similar tools. For the price point it's well worth experimenting with to see if you can find value in using it.

Other Software Used

Ahrefs Site Explorer, Google Analytics Premium, Google Tag Manager

Likelihood to Recommend

It's a nice feature set for mid-size to enterprise SEO companies as well as agencies where you have dedicated SEO professionals. Probably a poor fit when SEO is only a small aspect of your overall job.
