Raven Tools<\/a><\/p>\n Pros: <\/strong>Raven Tools is an aggregation of 3rd party SEO and Marketing tools which can set you free from logging into several types of marketing automation platforms (like email mailing) and let you see and analyze data under one roof. Instead of paying to multiple providers you invest your money into one proven platform.<\/p>\n Cons: <\/strong>The Raven Tools report customization is basic. It only shows the average rank tracking data which is taken from Google Search Console and it doesn\u2019t provide a detailed picture of your page-by-page rankings on Google and other SEs, while also not providing competitor, local and mobile rankings.<\/p>\n Cost: <\/strong>starts at $99\/mo<\/p>\n 6. WebCEO<\/a><\/p>\n Pros:<\/strong> WebCEO is well-equipped for both SEO jobs and client reporting.<\/p>\n Cons: <\/strong>The platform is designed for professional use and the plethora of options sometimes overwhelms those who barely know HTML tags or rarely use social media.<\/p>\n Cost:<\/strong>\u00a0 starts at $99\/mo<\/p>\n Compare Moz, RavenTools and WebCEO here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Link building campaigns now take much more of your effort and time than back in the old days when you might ask someone for a reciprocal link or you would simply place links on local directories, forums and comment sections.

Ahrefs<\/a><\/p>\n Originally built for backlink checking, Ahrefs has evolved into a full-fledged SEO platform.
