The Best Cloud-Based Keyword Rank Tracking Tool Out There

Incentivized

Pros

  • Cloud based, which means so server proxies or VPN needed to run the software.
  • Clean and intuitive interface, easy to use once you get the hang of it.
  • Easy to read and branded reports makes you look like a pro when it comes to client reporting
  • Localized rankings, makes the reports very accurate.

Cons

  • Updating reports when adding new keywords can be slow, taking a day or so to update.
  • Large keyword projects can be slow to update.
  • If you have a large number of keywords to track, the costs escalate quickly.

Return on Investment

AWR: For Users and Clients on a Budget

Incentivized
Verified User
Employee in Marketing (11-50 employees employees)

Pros

  • It only costs $49/month, which is great for clients that are working with limited budgets (they're cost-conscious!)
  • Its ease of use – I've worked with plenty of cloud-based rank tracking programs before, and AWR was by far one of the cleanest and easiest to navigate. I could use it on my iPad and the user-touch interface was pretty seamless.
  • The info is updated in real-time. We were able to show our clients their live data while in meetings. It made us look good, and it made our clients feel better about the service they were paying for.

Cons

  • The ability of the program to produce dashboards in web page format. While it can do this, it saves them out as HTML files on your hard drive or cloud server, which makes it super hard to share with others.
  • The cloud version is a bit more expensive, which offers the same tools as the desktop, which I found a little troublesome and it didn't make sense to me.
  • Their customer service was a little lacking. I had a couple of general questions and I was on hold for about 15 minutes...which isn't good when you're in the middle of a busy workday.

Return on Investment

  • It stayed within our client's allotted budget (which drives more business our way down the road!)
  • Updated information in real-time assures our clients that they get the most accurate information possible, as quickly as possible.
  • It's been only slightly detrimental to my workflow (which is one little drawback of the program) sometimes I have to enlist the help of a keyword generator (because i find the one with the program a bit lacking)

Definitely consider AWR if you want to track many keywords on a tight budget

Pros

  • Advanced Web Ranking is a low-cost solution for SEO reporting, suitable for medium-sized businesses that can't afford more expensive solutions of this type.
  • It's also very scalable in some respects, particularly the availability of unlimited keyword tracking, which is preferable to certain solutions that charge by the keyword.
  • There are also a number of other features in the product not directly related to the reporting of performance which some users will find useful.

Cons

  • As a user of the desktop version, I have been a little frustrated that the export of the HTML output of reports has to be saved locally which can make sharing difficult. I partially overcame this by setting up a shared folder on a network server for the output, but it still seems a little clunky in 2018.
  • Due to some issues with my installation, it's necessary for me to manually pull ranking data on a regular basis - it just won't automatically pull the data for some reason.
  • The cloud version of the product offers (I think) only a subset of features, despite costing more than the desktop version. This may have changed since I last looked 1-2 years ago, though.

Return on Investment

  • AWR certainly paid for itself due to its low cost.
  • Despite no longer being our primary SEO reporting tool, we did not retire it because its unlimited keyword tracking is very useful.
  • It has allowed us to monitor not only keywords we have optimized for, but also related keywords that we'd like to also rank well for.
