What do you like best about Lumar (formerly Deepcrawl)?

The out of the box views & data visualisations are brilliant. It really helps bring our SEO monitoring to life, in particular technical SEO.

The push for new features and AI integration have really helped develop the user experience, and ease of implementing SEO fixes when speaking to developers. This is a tool we now use on a daily basis.

The customer support, and in particular our success manager is brilliant at keeping the team in the know of new features, and never hesitates to jump on a call to talk through queries the team may have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lumar (formerly Deepcrawl)?

The only thing that would be beneficial is if you could crawl on a VPN, to better access staging environments etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lumar (formerly Deepcrawl) solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is allowing us to improve the relationship between tech and SEO, with the ability to look at other domains, and send fixes to those teams that manage the subdomains. The visuals in particular allow us to better communicate the value and benefits of making certain fixes. For examples subdomains that are indexed and taking away from our crawl budget.

What do you like best about Lumar (formerly Deepcrawl)?

In addition to the enterprise level crawling and analysis (which comfortably handles millions of URLs, before providing effortless visualisation and exportable reports) what sets Lumar apart is the level of support. As an enterprise client, I'm constantly juggling multiple priorities, while also searching for the highest leverage opportunities. The support layer from Lumar on top of the technology stack gives me piece of mind. I trust and rely on the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lumar (formerly Deepcrawl)?

I would love to see the service automatically vend more (AI driven) recommendation (post crawl) of changes/fixes, which could go into a 'task list' to review. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lumar (formerly Deepcrawl) solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Lumar heavily for pre/post launch website monitoring, to identifying changes in our site architecture when we make large scale user changes, and to debug at a scale that human simply can't handle. We don't see Lumar as an SEO tool, it's a key partner of our Product Management toolbox. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lumar (formerly Deepcrawl)?

I have been using Lumar for the past 3 years as a very effective tool to keep track and optimize several websites in the company.

We use Lumar with crawls on a weekly basis that we later use to implement changes. I love the fact that I can add people to be notified for each of the projects we crawl so they can perform the needed tasks. Also as our websites are quite similar, having a comparable SEO score allows us to match the progress done in different projects.

I like that hints are provided everywhere by hovering on certain labels so it is easy to learn what certain metric is about.

A very interesting feature is the Traffic Funnel which quickly helps notice where problems might lie. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lumar (formerly Deepcrawl)?

Sometimes identifying where an error is coming from (eg: 404s can be from pages in sitemap, crawl, google, etc) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lumar (formerly Deepcrawl) solving and how is that benefiting you?

Having an overview of many websites at once and quickly seeing which changes took place that we need to address. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lumar (formerly Deepcrawl)?

Lumar stands out for me with its impressive speed. It offers a comprehensive suite of reports covering technical SEO, site speed, and accessibility, which provide valuable insights for improving website performance. The tailored analytics feature is particularly useful, allowing us to customise reports to fit our specific needs. The platform's user-friendly interface makes navigating through its various features straightforward, helping us quickly identify areas for improvement to enhance performance. A special shoutout to the experts looking after our account, Rachael and Joshua, who have been exceptional in providing us with all the support we need to use the platform effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lumar (formerly Deepcrawl)?

The extensive range of features can initially be a bit overwhelming, especially for new users. It takes some time to get accustomed to the platform and make the most of its capabilities. However, the support team was great at providing us with the training we needed for a great experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lumar (formerly Deepcrawl)?

I have been a Lumar user for around 4 months and I must say, it is a great tool! It makes my everyday work fixing technical SEO issues super easy, the UI is user friendly, and you won't have to bother watching tutorials to figure out what's where. The customer support is great, they answer fast and follow up when needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lumar (formerly Deepcrawl)?

I don't like the fact that they take backlinks into account for 404s but they don't say where the backlink is coming from. This way it'srather hard to decide if the backlink is even valuable enough for fixing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lumar (formerly Deepcrawl)?

There are loads of things I love about Lumar - I used it originally back when it was Deepcrawl and what blows me away is the level of auditing it provides from a technical SEO perspective. In the different roles I've had, I'll always advocate to have a lumar account.

From a usability perspective it's easy to filter and find out the info that you need. You even have the ability to select important pieces of info that are relevent for your task at hand and to export that data so you can continue your dive in excel if you prefer.

The level of support you receive is also fantastic. The Lumar team are always willing to help when you have questions around data, what it means and will provide support too (Shout out to Lilla for all the regex formulas she's helped me with!) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lumar (formerly Deepcrawl)?

Sometimes, if you have a large website it can take quite a while to crawl but to be honest, that sort of thing is expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lumar (formerly Deepcrawl) solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a technical SEO specialist, I tend to use Lumar daily to help ideintify, deepdive and solve technical issues. If you're looking for in depth auditing, then Lumar is definitely the tool for it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Andrew Levey of Lumar (formerly Deepcrawl)

Hi Jenny, thanks for your review, and great to hear about your experience of Lumar! Just on the time to complete a crawl, we made some improvements to our crawler so it's now able to crawl as fast as your infrastructure allows (up to 350 URLs/s for rendered URLs in testing). We obviously limit crawl speeds to make sure there is no negative impact to your site, but if you speak to your dev ops team to identify what crawl rate your infrastructure can handle, then let us know and we can look at increasing the crawl rate for your account. Thanks, Andrew.

What do you like best about Lumar (formerly Deepcrawl)?

Fantastic pro-services team is there for anything we need in the world of technical SEO, from ad-hoc asks about setup and hreflang, to more in depth projects around internal linking.

Lumar's cloud-based crawler is able to handle our massive site with millions of URL's which is super helpful for analysis.

The amount of features can be a bit overwhelming, but the pro-serv team does a great job at highlighting issues that they have found for us to pay attention to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lumar (formerly Deepcrawl)?

Features can be a bit overwhelming for a one-man-band SEO team.

Pro-serv team aren't always completely business driven due to the focus on tech SEO, I'd like to see more emphasis on tying the technical SEO wins to actual traffic numbers and revenue - e.g we found and fixed issue Y, which lead to X% increase in traffic to that site segment.

I'd also like to see more initiatives coming from the team - e.g we think implementing this would be a big win, or we've seen great success with this project for another client, what do you think to trying this on your site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lumar (formerly Deepcrawl) solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed a solution that was able to crawl large programmatic sites with millions of pages and give us insights based on that data, as well as services to support our overall technical SEO strategy and execution, Lumar has definitely helped us achieve this.

What do you like best about Lumar (formerly Deepcrawl)?

The tool is great BUT the largest benefit of working with Lumar is having exposure and access to their expert staff - and I mean that seriously, they are experts as it relates to SEO. I worked with Lumar on a challenging suite of websites that had both technical and legacy issues that are still being unraveled but would have not been identified and clearly outlined for improvement were it not for Anne and Natalie. They're always clear in their findings and include information that all interested parties can digest. It's not easy to break down SEO issues that go beyond upholding best practices, but they manage to do it. We used Lumar weekly and in some cases daily to review and plan for critical repair work that needed to be done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lumar (formerly Deepcrawl)?

I wish the login prompt was a drop down vs. the modal? opening - half the time I don't track that it's opened and wonder why I'm not able to login! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lumar (formerly Deepcrawl) solving and how is that benefiting you?

Performing in-depth crawls and audits to illuminate issues that can be challenging to chase given the size and depth or our website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Andrew Levey of Lumar (formerly Deepcrawl)

If you could send us some more detail through the app (use the smiley face in the bottom left corner of the app to give us feedback), we'd be really grateful. Thanks, Andrew.
