The single best part of using SheerSEO is how quickly it is to get started. You do not have to know a ton about SEO as the basics will do. You can go right to a page by page audit to see how your site pages are performing and what SEO changes you need to make. I did have an issue at the start and customer support got back to me within 4 hours via email which is outstanding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
SheerSEO can get a little pricey for the advaced features but I purchased mine through AppSumo which made it quite affordable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
My favorite part of SheerSEO is the keyword research tool. It's one of the best I have found, even better than SurferSEO. It's very good for gray niches. You can also research your competitor's keywords as well. The link checker is great and will give your backlinks a score and tell you why the links may be toxic. If you can't afford Ahrefs or SEMrush you can't go wrong with SheerSEO. Customer support has been excellent as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish they allowed more guarded backlinks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I like the best about SheerSEO is that all their backlinks data are coming from Majestic.
They (Majestic) have the best data when it comes to backlinks.
But their subscription is pretty expensive, so I'm happy to have an all-in-one in SheerSEO.
Also, I asked the support for some modifications/questions, and he quickly answered or fixed my problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Keyword Explorer tool. They have a lot of data, but there is a lack of one functionality: the possibility to see the search engine results and their referring domains, trust flow, citation flow, etc.
It would be the perfect tool if it was possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Excellent communication and reliable service make Sheer SEO a top go to source for backlinks. Most of the directory websites have superbly specific categories which is also quite helpful for relevancy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
No problems with Sheer SEO service. And If there are, they work quickly to resolve! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
SheerSEO really packs a punch when it comes to streamlining SEO efforts. I've been juggling keyword tracking and backlink analysis with separate tools for ages, and this platform brings it all under one roof. The dashboard is user-friendly and the backlinks are pretty accurate. The CEO is also quite responsive via email and to feedback when I've had concerns, which is nice.

I didn't like the interace at first, but they have updated it and it looks a lot nicer now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reports are comprehensive and easy to use and the support is prompt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Would like to see more developed around local SEO (map rankings in particular) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When I first came to SheerSEO, I thought it would be a budget version of SemRush or Ahrefs, with far fewer options and less reliable, but clearly, I was wrong. In many sections, it has nothing to envy either of them, and the best thing is that it does it at a small fraction of the cost of the other two.
I bought SheerSEO to use with less important clients, but now I use it with my projects.
For some clients in Spanish, the database is still short, and I'm confident it will be fixed soon. But in English, their database is extensive and very helpful, and the estimated search, competition, and click-through figures align with reality compared to other keyword research tools. Their keyword Gap tool is fantastic too, and super helpful, although I would love that instead of 3 competitors, they would allow you to enter five as in other devices.
It also allows tracking keywords at a better price than other platforms and in greater quantity.
Their SEO report is very helpful and helped me identify problems that Ahrefs, for example, still needs to find. This has been very surprising for me!
And finally, your backlink tool has been very helpful in identifying some toxic links that I didn't even know I had, and now I can act accordingly.
So if, when reading this review, you thought that SheerSEO is just another tool and that it is below other options, the answer is NO. It is an excellent option for people starting in the SEO world. Still, it goes beyond that and can be very useful for more experienced people or agencies who need to lower their bills and optimize costs.
Thanks, SheerSEO team, for such a fantastic tool! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Spanish keyword database is currently short. But I trust the team who told me this would change very soon. And I trust them for the way and speed with which they respond to our requests when a problem appears. So glad to have a team as involved in their product as they are.

We use a lot of different SEO tools for different purposes based on results and user interface. What we like most about SheerSEO is the ability to identify 'toxic' backlinks. These backlinks negatively affect our standing with Google. With other tools we have to run the report then filter. SheerSEO already has this built in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When checking backlinks, it would be nice to know if the site is offline. When reviewing the backlink report, we would manually click on each link to verify. To be fair, we would do this with other SEO reporting tools as well. It would be nice if there were a symbol noting that the page is no longer available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I picked up SheerSEO because I wanted to increase the offerings of my agency. However, most of the very established SEO tools cost an arm and a leg. I picked up a few licences of SheerSEO on AS so I could manage a few sites and do the keyword testing I needed to pique the interest of some potential clients. The white labelling allowed me to wow them and secure a second meeting. For an entry-level tool, it is perfect in function as well as price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The packages I got were LTD which is great but comes with some limits, Which I found annoying. However, if you did subscribe, it unlocked all the features. It could do with a bit more YT content to highlight all the functionality Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SheerSEO has proven to be an amazing addition to my business. It has all of the features I need to improve my website's rankings, without the high costs that their competitors charge. On top of that, their customer service is phenomenal. You can not go wrong with this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I honestly can't think of anything. They are 10 out of 10 in my books! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
