What do you like best about SEO Spider?

Very simple format which allows even a novice (Like me) to have a topline overview of the site structure and page names. The 500 limit on crawling URLs is enough for most small businesses sites and will give some good ways of looking at areas to optimise for SERPs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SEO Spider?

Not a lot to hold this software back, we don't use it to its full capacity but from the areas we do use, we're making the most of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We needed to check where we could make optimisations to our forward facing website and also get a better understanding of our needs when requesting agency support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SEO Spider?

Tons of data, automates what would otherwise be tons of manual work, free version is good for most tasks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SEO Spider?

Premium version is somewhat expensive and doesn't offer a lot over the free version Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SEO Spider:

Use the free version for a while before committing to the premium subscription Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Meta data and red flag issues are super easy to check, which makes audits much easier. Lots of custom exports for added data, so we can track down issues faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SEO Spider?

Working in customer support style of role, you fields a lot of issues where people have ran a test on some random tool, or have a wishy washy bit. of advice from someone who claims to be a digital marketer, and it's totally out there. Something like none of my URL are being crawled, or XYZ is saying our site has 4000 broken links. ScreamingFrog is an amazing tool that allows you to scrap a huge amount of data (even on the free version) and easily narrow in on the stuff you want and gain insights into real crawl metrics/data.

For a very powerful data fetching tool, it's incredibly intuitive to use. Not so much in the sense like Apple would do it, taking it, only showing what they think is necessary, and keeping the UX super simple and clean. Screaming frog still allows you to see and work with huge amounts of data, but it's very logical how you can control and filter it all down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SEO Spider?

I do wish the free version had a bit higher of a limit. Working with a lot of ecom sites, who have tens of thousands of URLs, it'd be nice to get a bit bigger chunk of them crawled so you're not working with such a small sample size. It is a business model though, so I understand their reasoning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SEO Spider:

Lean into their support docs and other content they have. I often found myself trying to figure things out, and when I finally gave in and looked it up they had a doc on it that took me 30 seconds to follow. Trust they know how to best use the tool. Easier said than done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I've found it incredibly useful for looking up internal linking issues, because on larger e-commerce sites the amount of internal linking can get out of hand, so this tool makes it easy to do a big crawl and immediately get a data informed pulse on what's going on.

What do you like best about SEO Spider?

There are so many things about Screaming Frog that are great. I use this every single work day. First, that paid service is super cheap and you can crawl very large sites without running out of crawl memory. You can customize your search to find specific codes, see meta date, page indexing, 404, 301, image alt text. I haven’t even tapped into it’s full potential yet but since my job is to review sites for errors, this is one of the most essential tools you can have. Absolutely recommend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SEO Spider?

The only issue I have is that when I export details I would like a way to include in links or some of the details I see in the page info section. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SEO Spider:

This is the best spidering software. Even the free version is great for sites with less than 500 pages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We’re able to find and resolve 404s. We can audit our numerous sites and find codes that could be causing issues. If we need to remove a site feature this lets us find every single page it may exist and provide reports to dev and content teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SEO Spider?

You don't have to worry about anything onsite as this tool does everything for you. Even the crawling is very fast. The best part is, the free version covers till 500 pages.

I once used this tool for an eCommerce project and even when the number of pages were more than 50K, this tool didn't let me down and helped me to solve bulk problems in less time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SEO Spider?

I don't see any problem with this tool as they are updating this software frequently and as per the new Google guidelines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SEO Spider:

It is recommended for all who are looking to solve all the onsite errors on the website irrespective of the number of pages on the website.

Even when you are not sure what to check in onsite SEO, use this tool and you will know what are the important things to check onsite. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It helped me to resolve broken links, duplicate/missing tags, redirection error, server error, etc. on my website.

This product is very useful when your website is huge like eCommerce. You can get huge data in very less time which is actually impossible when done manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SEO Spider?

This tool is efficient and gets the job done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SEO Spider?

A single computer license makes it difficult to collaborate with team members and share crawl data without a full export. Exporting data for a site that has over 1m URLs is a long processes and not efficient. The in-tool crawl analysis leaves much to be desired when compared to other tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SEO Spider:

This tool is great for those looking for an economical crawling option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

This tool does what it says it does and does it well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the grid format that data is delivered. You can select and filter based off what you're looking for and easily copy into a Google Sheet or Excel spreadsheet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SEO Spider?

Honestly, nothing. I just wish 1 license could work for more than 1 computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SEO Spider:

Great ability to quickly filter what you're looking for. Fast at crawling sites. Data is presented in a great grid format, easy for copying into Excel or Google Sheets. Find 404 pages. Find 301 pages. Sort by each. Find missing titles/descriptions, duplicate titles/descriptions, etc. Find too long titles and descriptions. Easily copy and paste URLs with their corresponding meta data, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Helps immediately locate pages missing important SEO info, like titles and descriptions. Easy to find 404ing pages, 301 pages, etc. Easy to find images with missing alt tags.

What do you like best about SEO Spider?

Love the depth and detail the report can get into. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SEO Spider?

The UI is a bit old and not the most intuitive or educational. This tool assumes you know everything you need to know about SEO, beginners beware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SEO Spider:

It would be helpful to add in some points of knowledge to your system for beginners. Or "?" with hover states that you could help refresh your memory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Broken links are a big issue with our older sites, I am able to dive in and sift them out from other links and pages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface used to be a bit more clumsy in my opinion but had gotten better and more intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
