I would say RavenTools is most appropriate if you find you are spending a lot of time logging into different services and generating different reports from each. It's been a big time saver for us because we can compile all that data into one report and even generate a cover page and table of contents. This suite has also been beneficial for our sales team in that they we can provide detailed reports on the problems with their website before we even close the deal with them.

• Would like to see the stars feature to bring keywords to the top of the report have 1 click to remove all stars that were checked off previously.
• Would love to have a feature to track how clients are ranking for keywords; currently only shows the # of keywords ranking in the top 10 positions of Google but doesn't show the actual keywords for each competitor.
• Would extremely love to see a feature where the keywords can be viewed/filtered by position; for example page 1 of Google only, page 2 of Google only.
• Would love to see a keyword tool to check keyword rankings or search volume for specific keywords; similar to Google's keyword planner.

• The analytics in the tool and the Google Analytics dashboard have been known to be out of sync, but this doesn't happen very often.
• The reports occasionally have glitches, such as overlap of different modules.
• The keyword tracking tool does not provide easy tracking of rankings over time.

A year ago or so, Raven abandoned many of their organic rank reporting tools in an attempt to favor some Adwords intelligence. The market rebelled, as did I; in our desperation to find an alternative to Raven, none could be found and a great majority of users didn't want/need Adwords data. Months later, Raven reverted. I'd renew with Raven not just because nothing else cuts it, but because they are both trying to innovate, and listening to customers.

Certain areas, Social Media scheduling, could stand to undergo a complete overhaul. However, most of the RavenTools interface is easy to use. You will not have any issues getting up and running and should there be an issue, the customer service is really good. They also continue to preform updates that make the usability even better

They are always on top/ahead of the curve. There has never been a time where I haven't had the platform work professionally when I needed it. They stand behind a top-quality product. It's easy to support something when they put hard work into development and maintenance.

RavenTools has some of the best Customer Support I have ever received. They are quick to respond and will keep you posted on the progress of your issue. You truly feel as if you are getting customized service. No human is perfect and I have had one situation in which I had to reach out multiple times, but overall I fully trust and approve of their process

The software has a very professional format, which gives it an edge over other competitors. Agency Analytics also facilitates the black-link management for SEO purposes, which is again a good thing. My customers have seen the dashboard of Agency Analytics and because the depth of information is so powerful and impactful, it convinced them to hire us as their marketing team. Agency Analytics also comes up with substantial SEO and other competitive analysis solutions that make it more preferable for the end-users.

As a user of Hootsuite Free for reporting and social media management, RavenTools is more robust and fully functional. RavenTools provides a simpler dashboard and interface. You have more control over reporting, analytics views, and it is more intuitive. The only advantages I would say Hootsuite has is the ability to add apps that connect directly with other software and social media post management. Long story short, there is a reason I choose to put funds behind RavenTools vs. Hootsuite.

• It's a selling point. A major client saw that we were giving access to AA to her, and LOVED it.
• We can identify issues and solve for them before we lose clients
• It's an integral part of our sales process. We gain clients by being able to visually show the impact we've had on other similar businesses

• RavenTools has absolutely improved the reporting we provide our clients. We used to be mashing together dissimilar Excel reports. Comparisons between time periods was difficult to present and graphs had to be created manually with lots of time spent formatting them correctly.
• RavenTools has improved the efficiency with which we put together our reports. This frees us up to do more high-level thinking about recommendations and up-sell opportunities which ultimately leads to more revenue.
