Squirrly SEO is especially suited for a WordPress website owner wanting to up their SEO game, but not knowing where to start. Squirrly does a great job of walking a beginner user through the steps to meet their site optimization goals one focus page at a time. Once, you get over the dated UI Squirrly really offers more than other WordPress SEO plugins.

• User-friendly customisable dashboards, easy to make a dashboard from a template, or create your own, and add in whichever 'widgets' are relevant for what you are looking at
• Flagging words to review, allowing users to check and confirm if the word is 'accepted' or is a misspelling

• It simply works
• It reminds you to consider keywords and tags
• The best feature is that it’s simple to use even I can use it

• I don't like that there are different navigation paths to go from point A to point B. When I want to navigate to a specific place, I have more than one way to get there, which means I have to make a decision about how I want to there and I'd rather the designer make that design based on what would be most efficient for me.

• Sometimes the server times out when doing keyboard research which can cause users to repeat tasks, thereby frustrating users.
• The UI needs to be updated as there may be some bugs/threats on there.
• It is a bit expensive, therefore a more affordable price would be preferred.

Tool has undergone numerous changes, both to function and UX/CX. Makes it less than user friendly at times. But on the other hand, that does indicate a willingness to improve the product in a continual manner - which they've done nearly year after year - but it's always a case of who moved my cheese with each new iteration.

I've used support often and it has been responsive, thorough and considerate of our needs. I can get a tech right away, they understand the issue, and work with us to resolve it. Often the problem is with the site we are trying to scan, sometimes it is with their product. I appreciate that they go beyond support into continually helping us implement SiteImprove in more places with 3rd party integration.

Whilst no live chat, you do get an answer.

Siteimprove provides richer features when it comes to how granular you can define policies and metrics for search engine optimization and content relevance. It is also much easier to set up and maintain the sites that you want to administer. However, pricing wise is more costly which can be a constraint for smaller organizations.

The others simply do not compare to Squirrly SEO because it is more efficient, accurate, and effective. Squirrly SEO has increased rankings, traffic, and content optimization, which others simply have not been able to do. Moreover, Squirrly SEO operates like a consultant that guides you or tells you what to do, so that improvements can be done. Furthermore, it has much more features than other software.

• Siteimprove has helped bring our accessibility scores up from middling to near-perfect.
• Siteimprove has helped reduce our broken links, style violations and misspellings.
• Siteimprove's heatmaps have helped us make the case for enforcing best practices on the website among key stakeholders.
