Searchmetrics Suite vs. seoClarity

Searchmetrics does a great job when doing optimization of your content and keywords. It is less appropriate when doing off page optimization like backlinks.

Well suited for large sites with many pages and a large pool of relevant keywords. For online businesses with less than a couple thousand keywords driving significant volume and revenue it's almost certainly overkill.

Incentivized

• Content optimization, give one or more keywords to Searchmetrics and the webpage you want to rank for those keywords. Searchmetrics will check your page and compare it with other web pages that rank for your given keywords.
• Competitor research, find out what keywords your competitors are ranking for.
• Keyword research, what keywords are you using and which keywords could be new opportunities for your project.

Incentivized

• Daily organic rank tracking across desktop and mobile, capturing details for top 100 results each keyword
• CSV import and export
• Custom enterprise solutions for large scale SEO teams
• Account management via live chat, email, phone and in person educational events
• Page level and keyword level grouping and aggregation

• A lot of competitor SEO research sites offer suggestions on how to improve SEO ranking or changes that could be made to page title or descriptions, but Searchmetrics is a research only product and does not offer suggestions.
• Not sure if all of their contracts have an auto-renew, but ours did and we missed the 30-day notice to opt out and are now stuck in a new full year contract...
• Adding mobile tracking requires a new contract and is an additional add-on

Incentivized

• Design and user interface.
• Responsive/speed design of the charts in dashboards for smoother reporting.

We are currently using an agency and do not need Searchmetrics services at this time. If we do need research metrics in the future, we will probably go with them. The only deterrent is that we got suckered into an additional year with them because we were a few days late on opting out of the auto-renew. Although I was very upset about getting stuck an extra year paying for services I do not need, that is probably the only issue I have with the company, so if you can avoid that, it's a pretty good product.

Compared to other tools, including Semrush and Ahrefs, the overall capability and scope of reporting within seoClarity is right up there. However, a dated user interface and some laggy experience when hovering over charts slightly let down the tool. Other than these tiny items, this tool beats the competition quite easily.

We originally selected Searchmetrics because we got more bang for our buck. On the research end, we could do unlimited searches without the cost of the service going up. As for the historical data, we could store more trending data and do deeper research than we could with the competitor. The monthly fee was almost half (if i remember correctly, but it's been a few years) of what what we were paying before with a competitor.

We actually use all of these tools for various reasons. seoClarity is the most accurate in terms of keyword rank tracking, offering a combination of wide options for reporting charts and dashboard creation whilst also allowing us to add unlimited tags to our keywords. Ahrefs main strength over seoClarity is backlink tracking and reporting, whilst Semrush is a little bit of a jack of all trades.

• It had a positive impact on the ROI. As the websites rank better the revenue raised.
• Searchmetrics Suite is an expensive product, it is too expensive for small websites.

Incentivized

• Significant data exports of keywords enable us to speed up keyword research by 50%.
• Dashboard creation and ability to report on keywords on tags, aligning the business with our strategy.
