What do you like best about SEO Spider?

As for the search engine optimizer, I like the whole tool. I really like the fact that I can use the service to regularly scan the site. Copywriters often add or remove pages from sites or make changes to existing pages. This happens on any large site. Using the SEO Spider, I can monitor everything that happens with the pages.

SEO Spider allows changing User-Agent, which allows me to use SEO Spider as a tool for monitoring a mobile version of a site. If the 'status code' is not 200 or if the site loads for a long time, then I will find out first about it. This way I can quickly fix the errors and the site will not lose its position in the Google search engine results page.

I also like SEO Spider as a tool for finding errors on the site. For example, if the site uses images that are not optimized by special software, then I find such images and optimize them. This is important because Google uses the Mobile-First Index and page loading speed affects the position of the site in the Google SERP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SEO Spider?

Now SEO Spider analyzes the site, but does not analyze the server log files.

If we analyze the log files, we can draw important conclusions. For example, I could find information about which pages are being requested, but their status code is not 2xx and not 3xx.

Now in SEO Spider there is no such functionality.

I would also like to see the possibility of launching a crawl site online (for example, on the SEO Spider server). For example, I could start a site scan at night, and get a result in the morning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SEO Spider:

I can recommend SEO Spider as a software for finding problems on the site.

The software does not analyze log files, so use other software to analyze log files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SEO Spider solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use SEO Spider to analyze websites that I promote as follows:

1) I regularly monitor the site and compare the results. If something changes in the results, then I’m looking for exactly what I’ll find out if it is harmful for search engine optimization;

2) I check the site for errors in search engine optimization: I find broken links, find problems with rel canonical, find countries without the title tag or the h1 tag, as well as possible problems with backlinks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SEO Spider?

I love the organization of this tool. After the website is crawled, I can sort by internal links, external links, HTML, CSS, etc. It shows exactly what you are looking for no matter what your task is. If you need to see every URL, SEO Spider can show you that. If you only want to show the external links, SEO Spider can show you that too! The level of granular detail available to you is endless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SEO Spider?

I dislike how much "power" it seems that it takes to run, and how often it updates. Every time it seems I launch the tool, it has to update to the latest version and my laptop is heating up because SEO Spider is taking up a lot of power. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SEO Spider:

If you are looking for a domain crawl tool, SEO Spider is your best bet! It will get you every URL you are looking for and can help you organize them through the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SEO Spider solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are solving the issue if finding every URL on a website. We need this purpose to see how much data we need to migrate or see for SEO purposes which links should be redirected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SEO Spider?

For onsite SEO, Screaming Frog is the best. This goes for more than just crawling titles and meta descriptions. It helps you find inappropriate noindex tags or canonical tags that target pages they shouldn't. looking at an excel spreadsheet export from Screaming Frog will beat out any site crawl tool from any of the SEO all-in-one tools. In particular, the SEO Site Crawl tools do a poor job of showing opportunities with noindex tags/canonicals. They can show what pages have them but can't really reason out whether X page should redirect to page Y or not and there can be a LOT of opportunity here.

Add to that the API integrations with Google Analytics, Moz API, AHrefs API and search console. You can quickly crawl a large set of URLs and get backlink and traffic data for them.

For the advanced user, the possibilities of this crawler are pretty close to endless. Using X-path or other extractions, you can crawl generally any content from any page on the internet. I've used it to pull all the blog post titles from sites, craiglist job descriptions etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SEO Spider?

There's very little to dislike about this tool but, if I had to choose something, I would say that if your computer isn't very good, this program can essentially lock up your PC performance wise until it's done. You can configure it to take up less resources but then it goes slower and at it's default configurations it can really affect your ability to just "set it and forget it" Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SEO Spider:

If you can get really good at this tool, it will change the game entirely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SEO Spider solving and how is that benefiting you?

Prioritizing 404's by backlinks

Identifying Meta Data Gaps

Auditing indexability

Prioritizing projects by traffic

Finding technical issues Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SEO Spider?

I really like how simple it is to export data: ScreamingFrog allows you to develop a SEO strategy by analyzing how the website responds to a crawler. It requires some knowledge though, as it's not one of those tools that gives you an automatic report. Well, if you want to do good SEO, a little effort is required! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SEO Spider?

I have nothing serious to complain about this software. There is a limit of 500 URLs crawling for the free version, but the price of a full license is quite low and ScreamingFrog is too valuable to do without. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SEO Spider:

ScreamingFrog is not the only tool you'll need to do SEO, but it is definitely a must-have. Despite many web based products offer a friendlier interface, this software will give you plenty of insights to work on. I guess every good SEO could recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SEO Spider solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is very fast and it crawls several thousands URLs in minutes: you can see the main SEO parameters of a website right in the main window and, by filtering the results, you can obtain all the data you need to know the level of optimization for any given element website. For example, you can see all the parameters of every image file, obtain link metrics... and check if they are optimized or need improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SEO Spider?

This thing is fast, this thing is thorough, this thing has a million filters that let you parse your data in absolutely any way imagineable. Saves SO much time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SEO Spider?

No much other than maybe the fact I needed to pay to get enough data to make it usable for larger sites, but for how robust the system is I'm not really complaining. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SEO Spider:

Keep doing what you're doing, I really can't currently imagine anything else I'd need out of the software that it doesn't provide. There's a ton of features and filters I'm yet to need to utilize but I'm happy they're there for future use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SEO Spider solving and how is that benefiting you?

I occasionally need to migrate (and clean up) poorly built client sites that are bloated with a lot of legacy data. Being able to scan sites, see what pages are truly interlinked, what 301s are firing correctly or any 404 codes on the fly is such a time saver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The SEO tool is amazing. It is fast, reliable and super easy to use. You don't have to be a computer programming whiz to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SEO Spider?

The UI could use an update. It is a super basic tool but could use a little flash. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SEO Spider:

Use it every week. This gives you a great baseline to work from. Once you have your baseline, you can start to fine-tune your website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SEO Spider solving and how is that benefiting you?

This is the second company where I've used this tool. I use it every week to check the site to look for broken links, 404s, redirects, etc. It really helps me pinpoint what I need to fix and where I need to fix them. I also like to see how my redirects are working and if they are working properly. This tool gives me great insight into how everything is working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
