Their landing page through producthunt does not have a single word that mentions credit card is needed for trial. Very misleading tactic to gather emails.

On contacting support they say "We do say out clear on the page that the credit card is needed and we explain why." And when posting out there is not a single mention of credit card is needed they change their statement to "we haven't stated anywhere that no CC is needed." Further they say I should have read question/answers in product hunt to know that!

I'm staying away and recommend others to stay away for signing up.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Deceptive & not trust worthy

I'm going to ask the standard question now @razvan_gavrilas and give you an opportunity to explain how you are different from the competition :-) Starting at $129 it's on par with @semrush , @ahrefs, and other established players, are you in features parity with them.
Razvan Gavrilas
@saravanamv tks you for the comment Saravana. We are in the SEO tools market since 2011 and we know it quite well. Both the market and the competitors we have. The Site Audit launch today complete the cognitiveSEO suite and makes it an all inclusive SEO tool that covers everything from (audits to links, rankings and content, keywords and reports etc) What makes us different is the process that we propose the customer. A different and better way (we hope) to analyze their sites and competitors( with the aim to improve their SEO and Conversions). Let me give you some examples: - the inBound Link Analysis - crawling on demand for you. We take the data from various provides of link data , aggregate , deduplicate and crawl on demand. Apply a lot of algos to the data to extract metrics that are not to be found in other suite products that help you shape your strategy much quicker and better that using standard SEO tools. We do the same to your competitors as well as identify the unnatural link profiles and help you recover from penalties. - the Content Assistant - https://www.producthunt.com/post... A unique and actionable way to improve your ranks by improving your content. We developed our own Content Performance metric and apply that to the content that you want to outrank, while at the same time provide you with an Assistant that helps you write that content so you can rank there. - the new Site Audit - an in-depth tool that comes with all the whistles and bells that SEO audit dedicated tools have. Yet, this comes in a suite and costs a fraction because you got a package of all in one. You'll find similar Site Audits cost the same or more and you get only that (not the entire suite) - and more The tools you listed are mainly database tools, providing you with keywords and links, plus some other basic services in general. There are also a lot of tools out there. All have something that the others don't. That is because SEO has lots of micro niches of things to do. cognitiveSEO is a power tool made simple. It provides services with added value that get you on top of your market, by providing access to analysis and data that can't be find elsewhere at the same cost and in the same time. Hope this answers your question ;)

I have been using the site audit tool for a little while now and I have to say that it has some very nice features, including a very easy view of how your site architecture is being used (internal links).

It is still in beta, but I think a lot of people are going to like this. Easy to use, fast and without frill, that makes it easy to see what issues there are.

Definitely going to be another audit tool I add to my arsenal :)

Pros:

Very clean and easy to use

Cons:

None yet

Razvan Gavrilas
thank you for the review. glad you found it clean and easy to use. we aimed for that.

Hello Hunters! Founder of cognitiveSEO here. First of all, I would like to thank Kevin @kwdinc for Hunting us. Today we, at cognitiveSEO, launch the much-awaited Site Audit Tool. For the past one year and a half, we tried our best to create the most in-depth yet simple to use website audit & crawler. It's been quite a ride until now. The new all-inclusive Site Audit is part of a complete SEO Software suite that covers all the needs an SEO Pro, Webmaster or Digital marketer might have. Problem - SEO is getting more and more complex. Identifying a site's problems gets harder and harder. There are lots of SEO tools that try to fix them. The truth is that most tools are Basic and others too complicated. You may need lots of tools to check and fix the important things, just to move the needle a bit, in Google. This ends in lots of experiences, lots of software to use and a high cost. Solution - Today, we launch a complete and integrated SEO Tools suite. The Site Audit tool completes it. It provides very in-depth audits, yet it keeps them as simple as possible. All in one place, providing one experience at a fraction of the cost. The cognitiveSEO suite provides in-depth tools (not the basic ones that you may get elsewhere) as well as a specific process to help you improve your SEO and Conversions: ✅ SEO Site Audits (the new tool we launched today) ✅ Backlink Analysis ✅ Content Audits & Content Optimization ( https://www.producthunt.com/post... ) ✅ Keywords Research & Rank Tracking ✅ Google Penalty Prevention and Recovery ✅ Social Visibility and more Behind the tool, there is a massive cloud infrastructure, as well as a lot of SEO know-how, research, and innovation. Last year alone, cognitiveSEO has helped over 11k people recover and improve the rankings of more than 36k sites. With the new addition, we aim to double on that. I invite you all to get your free 14 trial @ https://cognitiveseo.com/site-au... You'll get 1-on-1 onboarding and 24h online support Ping me your thoughts and questions!

@kwdinc @razvan_gavrilas your description looks really promising, but there are three things I immediately notice: 1. The site feels old and I see low quality images (no retina support); 2. To test the product I need to handover my payment details; 3. The 1-on-1 onboarding and the 24h online support gives me the feeling that I have to register when I have the time to be onboarded. All-in-all I did not register although I'm very curious what your products has to offer.
Razvan Gavrilas
@kwdinc @evertsemeijn tks for the comment. the 1-on-1 support is here to help you if you need. the tool is designed to be as simple as possible, but taking in consideration the complexity of SEO nowadays some people may need help with that in order to get the best of the product. We ask for your credit card to allow your membership to continue after your free trial, should you choose not to cancel. This also allows us to reduce fraud and prevent multiple free trials for one person. This helps us deliver better service for all the honest customers. Remember that we won't bill you anything during your free trial and that you can cancel at any moment before your trial ends. Regarding the design. Will share that with our designer ;) Tks
Evert
@kwdinc @razvan_gavrilas I understand your rational behind the decisions. Frankly I shared them with you, because I can imaging that others might experience those emotions too. And I know that with small changes you can improve your product landingpage and increase conversion. Talking in psychological terms: I was driving in System 2 fairly quickly (rational, conscious), but you want to keep your prospects in System 1 as long as possible (emotional, nonconscious) to increase changes of conversion. About the CC detais: you can now only apply loss aversion to those that already have enough trust in you and your brand to hand over their details.
Razvan Gavrilas
@kwdinc @evertsemeijn thank you for the feedback Evert. I really appreciate it.

@kwdinc @razvan_gavrilas cognitiveSEO has come a long way from when I first came across it many years ago. Definitely a top tier SEO tool now. Congrats on the launch of the Site Audit Tool!
Iulian Nechifor

I was also beta testing group so i had a peek-eye before launching. It had some minor usability problems but now they are resolved.

I think it's one of the best tools for this type of website analysis. It works great for crawling big websites, it has lots of SEO check-ups, you can find almost anything there.

It works pretty fast for crawling the websites and the price is unbeatable.

It's the only one I know that gives you the page speed score from Google.

Pros:

Fast, Reliable, Comprehensive, Tons of Great Info for SEO professionals , Great Price

Cons:

I'm not sure about cons

Razvan Gavrilas
tks for the comment here. it was a pleasure to have you among our beta testers.
Razvan (CEO competitors.app)
I've used the Site Audit since beta and it helped find a lot of bugs on my already very optimized website. I've also used it on some of my clients and the reports are very useful. It's not time consuming and provides a lot of data
Razvan Gavrilas
@razvan_girmacea glad to hear. thank you for the sharing the feedback.
Muhamed-Kanapiya
Guys look good, @razvan_gavrilas but why I need to verify my card details, at the beginning of registration? Why not after finishing trial? I just go away after that step
Razvan Gavrilas
@muhamed_kanapiya We ask for your credit card to allow your membership to continue after your free trial, should you choose not to cancel. This also allows us to reduce fraud and prevent multiple free trials for one person. This helps us deliver better service for all the honest customers. Remember that we won't bill you anything during your free trial and that you can cancel at any moment before your trial ends. We had in the past a lot of people that abused the system. We decided to provide a more complete user experience instead of doing a ton of limitations.
Muhamed-Kanapiya
@razvan_gavrilas I just want to test without that step, if it possible. I am from CIS, and there usually dont ask card numbers or paypal

Hi Product Hunt! I'll share the message I sent to their Intercom -- I think this sums up what happened pretty well

--

Very unimpressed by your handling of subscription cancellations, as well as the unprofessional service I received from Cornelia.

First of all, you require your customers to submit a *request* to cancel their subscriptions? This is incredibly strange. I went through with this and received cancellation confirmation from Cornelia. I was then charged for another month a few days later, which I only found out about via PayPal receipt. When I reached out to Cornelia, she seemed to have forgotten about my cancellation and told me that "sending a ticket on support is not considered a cancellation request." What? As our conversation continued, she continually made blatant typos at one point saying, "I've checked and the refund will be processed after 3r if December." For reference, that email was sent on December 30th.

What an interesting experience. Thank you for the refund. I'll be monitoring my card to make sure I don't receive any more charges from you guys...

Pros:

comprehensive metrics, intuitive interface, great insights

Cons:

very shady cancellation policy, charged after cancellation, unprofessional support

Edmundas Mičiulis
Nice!
Bill Widmer

I've been using SEO audit tools for years - Deep Crawl, Screaming Frog, and Ahrefs new site audit tool - none of them are as easy to use or as pretty as this one!

They tell you exactly what fixes need to be made. The UI is very intuitive. I have nothing bad to say about it!

Pros:

Super easy to use, includes every technical SEO metric you need!

Cons:

None

Liviu Gajora
Congrats for the tool! I am mostly interested in an in-depth content audit. I imagine it covers it as well. Can you share some hints on what it can do on this matter? Thanks!
Razvan Gavrilas
@liviu_gajora1 thank you for the message Liviu ;) The Site Audit Tool crawls all the pages on your site and checks 200+ issues that may be holding your website back from ranking in Google. The analysis is in-depth yet easy to comprehend. It provides recommendations and gives solutions on how to fix your website problems. In terms of content I recommend to check the site via the Site Audit. See what the tool recommends to fix and do that. Than on a page by page (section by section basis) use the Content Assistant ( also launched successfully here on ProductHunt a year ago: https://www.producthunt.com/post... ) and improve the pages based on the Content Performance score. hope this helps.

This tool has concretely shown me that it can identify and report extremely important on-site details that normally take much more effort across multiple tools to find. I cant believe the value I've already reaped in just a short time using the tool. I was able to literally take a call from a technically savvy client asking for how she could get a list of orphan pages, and within a few clicks in the tool, i had a filtered list of orphan pages in her site. This tool is going to be a money maker for my agency because of both time saved as well as improving reputation with clients because I'm now able to efficiently catch more website deficits than most other SEO firms. I almost don't want other agencies to know about this tool. :)

Pros:

Fantastic, fast analysis tool that has been more helpful than what I've ever seen before in site audit tools

Cons:

none seen yet!

Razvan Gavrilas
super happy to hear. agree that this is a money maker for all agency owners. 1000% ROI easily on it.
Traian Neacsu
Knowing Razvan personally, I am sure he and his team put a lot of efforts into making this tool possible. Congrats and good luck Razvan!
