Moz Link Explorer vs. SEO PowerSuite

It is helpful if you are trying to understand where a site stands in terms of the links coming to it from different websites. It is less helpful in terms of providing specific actions or steps to take to get more links. However, it is a part of a larger Moz package so other areas provide information that can help there.

SEO PowerSuite is well suited for projects that are kicking off as well as projects that need audits and updates for current strategies. Anyone with an SEO project is suited and should be using SEO PowerSuite. For rank tracking, backlink tracking, content scoring and much more. This is the best tool to manage your project off the web. Just like with Screaming Frog and technical audits, there is no better full Suite of SEO tools than SEO PowerSuite.

• It links in with Moz’s domain authority concept, which we use as our main metric of how well our SEO works.
• It shows you which sites link to you, and ranks to them by domain authority. This helps us understand where our best inbound links come from, and to hopefully target those valuable partners for more links.
• It shows you which keywords you rank for, your position on the search engine results pages for each keyword, and how difficult it is to rank for those keywords. We use this to spot where we rank on the second or third page for medium difficulty keywords. We’ll then write content to target those keywords.

• I love their report customization possibilities. The new reports are really great and fully customizable. I am able to provide my clients with different sorts of data arranged in the way I like it, makes my reports unique.
• What really impresses me is the number of different features you can find in SEO Powersuite tools. This software kind of combines all necessary features under one roof so I mostly do not need to use other SEO tools at all.
• Possibility to check rankings from different locations. This is really great, since my customers come from different regions, so I can provide country-specific results for every client.

• Lack of instant export of data. Adds to a queue rather than being instant.
• Advanced reports are needed for larger websites and come at the cost of a subscription to Moz Pro.

• Whole domain graphical history (SEOzoom and other tools offers that)
• Scheduled rank tracking doesn't work properly on Mac (at least on mine)
• For every project I need to connect analytics and search console it should offer an option to grant access to it for several projects

No renewal is necessary with the free version!

I gave SEO PowerSuite a two because our company did not renew our subscription. The pricing was too complicated and having multiple platforms made it more difficult to use. We dropped our subscription to SEO PowerSuite and implemented Moz. Moz gave us a full view of all of the metrics we were looking for on one web-based platform. Plus, the pricing model was simple so it was easier to get senior management to cosign on.

I’m not qualified to give a rating for this because I’ve never used support specifically for Moz Link Explorer. On the site there are “what’s new” and “help” sections to help those who need further assistance. Also there is a ton of great content regarding SEO and backlinks on the Moz website.

I have had several interactions with support at SEO PowerSuite. Each time I have been quite pleased with the response. I have interacted with billing and tools support and have found them to both be on top of things. they follow up well and they get the issue resolved in a timely manner. I have no complaints here.

SEO Powersuite has a lot of training videos online, combined with some live streaming tutorials. Also, they have a guide that comes with their software to outline the basics of your SEO workflow. This will get you on the right track right from the start. Their guides and tutorials are easy to follow and detail every possible option you have when doing work with SEO Powersuite. Even if you want to switch to different software, the courses are easy to implement in all other tools too! Very recommended if you want to get started in the SEO world, or want to expand your knowledge.

I think Moz Link Explorer is a great add-on to the overall Moz tool, but compared to Ahrefs, it’s not as robust because Ahrefs' main focus is on the backlink profile. I like SEMRush’s function of being able to reach out to websites directly from the platform and track all of your progress in there.

It works in combination with all of them, the closest would be a combination of Ahrefs, Majestic, and Screaming Frog. However, where this tool steps up its game, is when you integrate it with Google Search Console and then tie them both into Google Data Studio. When you get this right, you can show your client how much money they would need to spend on PPC to get the same 'value' of traffic. This changes the way they look at optimization, now the cost of a term in PPC is also used as a reason to optimize the customer journey.

• Took hours of manual work and programatically did it in a few clicks
• Gave a game plan for future SEO strategies

• The area where we see the best ROI is with the ability to track unlimited websites and keywords. For us to track the number of keywords that we do without SEO PowerSuite it would cost more than SEO PowerSuite itself.
• Since content is so important as well as how you use your keywords in that content, the Keyword mapping feature that was just released is a great addition. We have already put it to use on a rebuild, this is allowing us to see the pages that Google has ranked a page for each keyword we track. This is really helpful in cleaning up keyword cannibalization.
