Outstanding SEO Resource That Only Stupid People Pass By.

Pros

  • Streamline SEO Functionality.
  • Empower Social Media Operations.
  • Guide On-Page and On-Site Optimization.

Cons

  • If I had to pick something it would be communications but they rock here too.
  • What I have mentioned to them they have implemented in releases just 2 weeks later.

Return on Investment

  • I've been using WebCEO for less than 90 days.
  • ROI is obvious based on rank increases - but has not yet becomes a reality.

Unleash Your Geek with WebCEO

Pros

  • The on-page optimization tools help a lot in researching competitor keywords, competitor traffic, and backlinks and Google search queries. We are able to compile this data to enhance online content and optimize our promotional channels.
  • Keeping track of a wide array of functions with tools that show us what has been done and with percentages of completion. This helps us to share tasks like projects with team members so they can easily see which parts o their work still need attention
  • Providing our clients, and our sales crew, with detailed as well as Summary data for explaining to clients what areas of their sites need attention and how their campaigns are succeeding (or lacking) in different geographical areas.

Cons

  • It may sound biased but WebCEO is really a step ahead of the competition and any person who enters into the responsibility of managing the SEO of a client or themselves need to realize that a tool is only as good as the person who is using it. WebCEO makes the job of a qualified consultant easier but it does not replace the need to have a qualified professional handling the work of SEO or other marketing work.

Return on Investment

  • WebCEO allows us to maximize our industry experience to use the tool for enhancing the results we get by providing in-depth data for implementing more competitive site architecture.
  • Connecting to social media always helps and this gives us a wide scope of information to see what the competition is doing to be successful. By tracking where the competitors are getting their traffic, we can also tap into similar methods and sometimes use related sites to also get additional quality traffic.
  • This has helped us to improve the quality of traffic by helping to identify areas that are causing traffic to turn away (Bounce Rate).

Extremely Useful Tool!

Pros

  • The support team at WEB CEO are probably one of the best we have come across! They are always on the ball and answer all and any questions we have within a quick timeframe!
  • The on-page optimisations and page scores go quite in depth allowing you to understand what is holding a page back. You can also customise what you want the on-page optimisations to be. There are settings to turn off a ranking factor, extremely handy for certain projects!
  • The internal link structure analysis is extremely useful to help see your most authoritative pages. This enables you to help direct your links to your most important pages and see what pages are linked together.

Cons

  • Its hard to say any negatives on WEB CEO, probably that there are so many tools to use haha! However as previously mentioned the support team are only a click away to help explain anything.
  • The dashboard can be overwhelming with a lot of metrics displayed. This can be customised though to display what you want. The same goes for the menu items, a lot of useful tools! But just have to learn the layout and where everything is located.

Return on Investment

  • Great cost and integrated with other SEO tools, saving you money on multiple subscriptions.
  • Well priced compared to other tools online.

The Web CEO might need to step down and give the Head of a Design a crack.

Pros

  • Very easy to understand visuals
  • It is extremely easy to drill down into more specific metrics. Something GA makes difficult.
  • Building reports is a 3 step process and the report builder is very intuitive

Cons

  • There needs to be a proper white paper guide. it is all well and good assuming that users will understand SEO Nuance, but sometimes they don't, and it would be nice to see a proper cutout and keep guide,
  • This is a lovely bit of kit, it just needs refining. A nicer GUI, and as mentioned above, a nice cutout and keep guide.

Return on Investment

  • I would say that as a tool. Web CEO has a decent amount of kick to it. I just think that it is lacking that knockout punch that its competitors have
  • The social metrics and competitor metrics are great, they just don#t have that zing to them. I think some GUI tweaks would move Web CEO onto the next level. It is a pity, as Web CEO is one step from greatness.
