Advanced Web Ranking Reviews

Pros

There are so many things to love about AWR, but even with all the amazing features it offers, the greatest asset is their team! I have had nothing but positive interactions with their team since first buying the desktop version of their software many years ago. When it was time to migrate to the cloud version they were extremely helpful and made sure our transition was seamless. Could not ask for better support. For the software itself - the interface is very clean and easy to navigate, the features are robust, and the the information it provides me for our clients is invaluable.

Cons

I don't really have any con's for this software. The only slightly negative thing I can think of is that I have occasionally been confused as to how to achieve a specific end result with the software. There are so many interactive screens and reports to choose from that a new user can sort of get lost trying to figure it all out. Of course, I was a new user over 5 years ago. =)

Reasons for Choosing Advanced Web Ranking

AWR offers more value for less money. Moz is fairly expensive and you only get the truly valuable features at the higher pricing tiers.

AWR is easier to use and offers more value for the same, or less money. Also I had a much better pre-purchase experience with AWR's team than I did with the other companies.

Pros

AWR is incredibly clear and easy to use. I have been using it for 8 years. It is not complicated, always robust, accurate and always works, making it the most essential SEO tool that we use as part of our reporting. AWR is not always in the same light as SEMrush or AHRefs, but I have used AWR since the beginning and we are a big agency and I use SEMrush second. The customer service team are always, they are very personable, they actually remember stuff about my business and my life (they remembered what hobbies I do), they have staff there who have worked there for years, they are fast to respond and I feel like I know them - and other tools can't say that.

Cons

I don't really have any, I am happy with the service. Although, I do think its cool that SEMrush tells you everything that you rank for and they have the full audit - these are nice features and would probably make AWR complete.

Semrush

Reasons for Switching to Advanced Web Ranking

Clear reports, good pricing, very accurate data

Pros

This historical rank tracking tool stands up to many others I've tried. One of the best things about this tool is that it stores a cached version of the serp so you can look back and see exactly what was appearing for clients on a particular day or month. Also integrates and connects with Search Console for a website which makes it useful to have all the information in one place.

Cons

Only downside is that you have to wait up to 24 hours for data to be collected when you add in new keywords you want to track. I also found the interface difficult to navigate around the first couple of times I logged in.

Pros

Plain simple: just gets keyword rankings and does the job really well. No other unnessesary features that would make the tool too expensive.

Cons

If you need daily tracking, it becomes quite expensive when you track it for multiple domains and countries.

Alternatives Considered

Wincher, Ahrefs and Semrush

Reasons for Choosing Advanced Web Ranking

We switched because we only needed a keyword ranking tool. Ahrefs is great if you need more in your toolbox. If you just want keyword rankings, AWR is the tool to stick with.

Ahrefs

Reasons for Switching to Advanced Web Ranking

Most other tools offer more than just keyword rankings and are therefore more expensive.

Pros

The ease of set up of accounts, through to the pricing structure gives this tool the edge over others. The API download and exports allow you to take control of your data and are not restricted to only using the platform.

Cons

Keyword units do need to be managed. No live reporting feature. There could be a better competitor dashboard of why a ranking drops or increases.

Alternatives Considered

Conductor, Semrush and SISTRIX

Reasons for Choosing Advanced Web Ranking

Pricing, reliability, ease of use

SISTRIX

Reasons for Switching to Advanced Web Ranking

Previous experience of the platform and knowing it could complete a job.

Pros

The dashboard is userfriendly and the data is reliable. There are many options to track keyword rankings, like desktop, mobile, local search engines.

Cons

I would like to have a client portal so clients can log in to see there rankings.

Pros

It's really clear to use both internally and for less experienced customers. It's also quick and easy to search for information to answer the questions that are relevant to you...and it's got some powerful reporting too.

Cons

It would be nice if it had some more integrations to allow us to share the data with more ease.

AccuRanker

Reasons for Switching to Advanced Web Ranking

We've used it since it was desktop and it just works for us.

Pros

AWR makes it incredibly easy for my SEO company to support its clients, with a variety of Web Analytics tools. AWR's customer support is superior and always prompt and courteous.

Cons

I can't think of a thing I don't like about using AWR.

Alternatives Considered

Moz Local

Reasons for Switching to Advanced Web Ranking

Pricing and reputation.

Pros

Unlimited websites, only limited by monthly keyword units
Can almost instantly pull ranking results
All aspects of monitoring are covered
A wealth of possibilities, fine-tune your needs

Cons

Comes at a price, however, the software is constantly being developed and the price remained largely constant for years.

Pros

I have been using AWRCloud for a while now and I find it to be a very useful and accurate program for tracking ranking and delivering client reporting details. The support team is responsive and I often stumble upon new features that improve the user experience. I would highly recommend to SEO and ORM professionals.

Cons

I can't really think about any negatives, although it took me a while to figure out that Google Local ranking needs to be added manually and is not automatically included in reporting.

Pros

Accuracy of rankings is good, lot of options avilable.

Cons

Less options to group keywords, cluttered dashboard

Pros

All the features I need to get the job done (which are like 3 maybe 4 at max) and I can track all my Client's keywords and send monthly reports.

Cons

It's way too expensive for my usage! I only use 1/3 of what my $99 account gives me and that's because I'm a small solopreneur and you don't have anything priced cheaper based on usage. I feel like you guys could do better for those of us who don't need so many credits, maybe sell them in small credit packages?? Lastly, I don't like the abundance of features you keep adding that literally have NOTHING to do with my business as a Marketer, it's like you built the software for designers or web devvers which are both going out of style and not for Internet Marketers who focus solely on SEO. The website audit tool sucks in comparison to other sites even the Free one at SEOptimer.com is better in appearance and data.

Pros

Tracks large numbers of keywords for a great price, setup and track multiple projects with ease, tracks entire competitive rank sets with the top sites report - not just your own rankings, incredibly easy to export raw data for your own purposes, tbey also have the api if needed. Finally, they simply have the best customer service team out there in my opinion. Great people... very nice... care immensely about their customers and are simply a great team to work with.

Cons

Large keyword projects (20k keywords plus) used to take time and with their hourly, daily, weekly limitations you would never be quite sure when your checks would finish. This would sometimes hamper client deliverables on a tight deadline. However, this piece has been dramatically improved in recent months and is no longer an issue. Also, they pull the top 5 pages of results as a minimum. This is not necessary and makes large projects an issue with exports of more than a million rows which excel has problems with. They are working on this as well though (they listen to customer feedback) and I am looking forward to a change coming to that feature.

Pros

The possibility to easily track all (and only) the KWs, SERPs and competitors that really matter to you simplifies your SEO and Strategic tasks by reducing noise.

Cons

Despite having greatly improved from the older versions, the interface and ease of use of different kinds of reports is not always great.

Pros

Easy to set up and get going. Runs automatically you don't need to worry about it. Accurate results. Good integration & export options.

Cons

Some of the exported reports could be updated as their format isn't as user friendly as it could be.

Pros

AWR is a solid rank tracker, with good flexibility in terms of dividing credits between different search engines, geographic targeting and so on. Updates are reliable and quick. Ability to monitor 49 competitors for each set of keywords is a big plus.

Cons

While there are features such as site auditing, these are a bit of a "bolt on" and not especially useful. I imagine this is to compete with the likes of SEM Rush and the other "all in one" tools. Some aspects of data analysis have limitations (e.g. comparing rankings).

Pros

I like the support and that the reports for each of my clients are customizable, and that the reports are easy to generate. I mostly like that the reports can be generated as often as needed and the results are available very quickly. The price is attractive, especially if you are just getting started.

Cons

Learning the difference between the old and new versions of the software. I am not familiar with some industry terms and would like some explanations in plain english rather than assuming I understand certain terms.

Pros

Easy to use and setup.
Great customer service.
Accurate results.

Cons

Can be easy to use credits quickly which can mean regular keyword reviews and management.

Pros

The price is certainly right compared to certain other big names in this area, at least for the non-cloud version.

Cons

The fact that reporting is output from the non-cloud version to your own servers/drive instead of being published to the web for easier sharing with teams. The cloud version does offer web-based reports but last time I looked the cloud version did not have all the important features of the non-cloud version and also cost more.

Pros

We love that we can access the software via cloud and also the automation process, we also love the way you can set the reports to provide local search term results.

Cons

We would love more customisation and more features within the reports

Pros

I love how easy AWR has made it to track my and my clients' keywords and integrate with Google Analytics and Google Search Console.

Cons

There are a ton of features. Setting this up if you're less technical (or less familiar with SEO) can be awkward.

Pros

Ease of use
Feature requests will be considered and if useful be implemented
Value for money

Cons

I hope they would do better with their APIs

Pros

The ease of use and speed of the product

Cons

The UI is a little clunky but intuitive

Pros

To track keyword ranking positions. Easy to use.

Cons

I do not know :) Maybe SERP dificulty....

Pros

it is easy to use
good value for the money

Cons

i haven't experienced any cons. I am a happy user :-)
