Overall Satisfaction with Majestic SEO

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Site and Search Explorer
Historical backlink checker
Powerful API for full customers

Cons

Pricing gets expensive, quick
Historical charts could go back further, but this is a rather unique feature anyway.
The tool can be difficult to get workable data from without another tool like Moz or SEMRush to cover its weak spots

Return on Investment

ROI is difficult to ascertain in healthcare marketing, mostly due to privacy laws. Although, Majestic has improved our insight into our digital content, giving us data to work with on the primary site, which has led to an overall increase in organic search.

Alternatives Considered

Moz, Ahrefs Site Explorer and SEMRush

Majestic is best used in conjunction with a tool like Moz and SEMRush. Although it can be used by itself, it is difficult to work with unless you really know what you're looking for and how to use that data when you find it.

Other Software Used

Moz, SEMRush, Ahrefs Site Explorer

Likelihood to Recommend

Majestic SEO is best fitted to medium to enterprise businesses. Although they have a lower tier, I don't think this provides very usable information for single users. Especially if they are not experts. I would recommend Moz in that instance.

Otherwise, Majestic is a powerful that can be developed into custom apps if you have the team to make that kind of thing happen.

Third-party Reviews

The product features are what pushed us to purchase Majestic SEO. As I've mentioned elsewhere, the tool helps fill out our search engine optimization efforts by providing additional insight and tools we were missing in HubSpot and Moz.

Evaluation Lessons Learned

We likely would not. There is nothing Majestic can do that would have helped us move any differently. I personally would have liked to have purchased the tool sooner, but that is because of internal red tape, not anything to do with Majestic

Majestic SEO Support

Support Rating

I have had very few support issues with Majestic. When I have had issues, they've been small and resolved quickly.
