What differentiates SpyFu from other similar products?

The keyword research process has been a piece of cake. In just four months, search engine traffic has increased by more than 20%. A large portion of our SEO effort has been done internally, saving us billions of euros each month. Thanks to SpyFu, we should be able to stay inside our website expenditure budget. In order to remain ahead of the competition, we use SpyFu to keep tabs on some of our largest competitors. In this way, SpyFu differentiated from other similar products.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

This is a wonderful piece of software. What I like most is how easy it is to get competitive data on a client's rivals to show them who's edging them out in the market. The structure and alternatives for doing a competitive study of other similar companies as my client's clients. In the early days of learning about SpyFu, it was amazing to see how many local businesses were running PPC ads. SpyFu allows you to observe what your competitors are doing on marketplaces such as Google PPC, and you may then take action. Advertising, particular keywords, and data are all displayed.

What do you dislike most about this product?

A lot of times, I feel that the data is distorted, especially when it comes to the Costs side of PPC. In certain cases, monthly costs might be very different from what a customer is currently paying, making it difficult to assess a competitor's advertising budget. There are times when tables or ad samples are cropped off, making it impossible to understand data or grasp the entire context of a certain situation.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

SpyFu has a unique benefit in that it allows you to compare your firm to your competitors and see what advertisements they are running. I highly suggest it.  Brands with a national audience will benefit from this. Choose a local SEO tool if that's your area of expertise. For national campaigns and information gathering, SpyFu is a wonderful tool, but if you're not in that situation, look for another tool. In order to make sure that you have all of the data you need, I recommend using the free trial time to play around with the product and make sure you can set up all of the groups and keywords in each group that you want to track.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Reliable
  • Unique Features
  • Effective Service

What differentiates SpyFu from other similar products?

The interface of the product makes it super user friendly, compared to others that are more challenging to figure out. The price point is much lower compared to other tools. Sometimes I just need to do a little bit of research and the higher price points on other tools don't make sense.

It's not easy to manage the backlinks and the process of outreach. I would like to be able to keep notes so I remember where I am with each contact.
