"How My Agency Uses Raven "

4.5/5

What do you like best about Raven Tools?

The cohesion and flow of the different reports and diagnostics is logical and flows naturally in the way you explain the process to your clients. We are an agency and not an end user (though we do look at it for our own agency site).

Raven is very powerful and in the beginning I did need some support. i found it in the form of webinars, videos that Raven publishes regularly and their email support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Raven Tools?

I wanted an easier way to share reports that were live with clients rather than just PDFs. I think they are working on this as an option soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Raven Tools:

Do the trial and see how it fits your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Raven Tools solving and how is that benefiting you?

Site Auditor is where I start to show the client how their site needs improvement. Citations and link building is a big part of our SEO so we use this regularly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Meh!"

2.5/5

What do you like best about Raven Tools?

I like how everything is intuitively laid out and categorized and i can get anywhere quickly. That's rare with other tools that seem to think burrying their features is somehow advantageous. The price point is good too! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Raven Tools?

Hey, 2009 called and they want their social media management tools back. The social media set up for Raven is, to put it bluntly, terrible. It's about as bare bones as you can get. No... cross platform posting, curating tools or content generators. Also, the layout is pretty crappy and, linkedin especially, never posts correctly. Needs some finesse. Would love to see improvements in that arena. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Raven Tools:

Not for the novice user, as customer support lacks greatly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Raven Tools solving and how is that benefiting you?

Consolidated, customizable reporting...can't live without it now. My customers love it, too. It's very easily readable and that saves a lot of time and explaining. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Integrated Digital Marketing Tool"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Raven Tools?

I like that I can manage everything for every client in one system—separated by client. I can manage SEO, AdWords, Social, and get reporting on all of those activities without logging in and logging out of a dozen different systems and accounts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Raven Tools?

I have the most trouble with the social media section. I've previously used very high profile social tools and Raven doesn't stack up. I'm told things are in the works, which I'm excited about. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Raven Tools:

It's definitely worth doing a trial of the product. I've use A LOT of digital marketing tools and Raven has been the most affordable comprehensive system that I've found. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Raven Tools solving and how is that benefiting you?

As an organization that does digital marketing on behalf of other organizations, this helps us A) stay organized client to client and B) provide relevant reporting to clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I love how i can see everything at one place"

5/5

What do you like best about Raven Tools?

Efficiency: It is a great tool especially when it comes to seeing everything at one place- Auditor, reporting, dashboard, link monitoring are some the things i use frequently. Also, the feature i really like is integration with webmaster tools. Overall it helps to be efficient as you don't have login into different places. You can see everything in Raven tools.

It is a great tools for monitoring all aspects of online marketing- social, adwords, analytics etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Raven Tools?

Design and user interface could be further improved. Since SERPs not being provided, if we are able to upload SERPs from third parties into Raven that would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Like Having an SEO Assistant, One that's available 24/7 and makes you look really good. "

5/5

What do you like best about Raven Tools?

I've been using Raven Tools for a few years now. I always say it's like having an assistant that sits in the corner, doesn't argue and works constantly.

I like both the research and the reporting features the best.

The reporting features allow me to create clean reports customized with a level of information that's catered to my clients' varied interests.

The research features allow for easy competitive analysis and site audits.

The Event Manager is also so handy to record work completed and measure the effects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Raven Tools?

I have to share this tool with others and I can't track changes made by other users. I'd love to see a change history view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Raven Tools:

I like how Raven Tools handled their decision to stop displaying scraped data in their tool. The way they handled the decision was an excellent example of how to run a business. They ran the risk of losing a ton of customers by doing that but in the end developed an even more powerful and helpful tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Raven Tools solving and how is that benefiting you?

The primary benefit is time saved. I've saved a ton of time using Raven Tools. Now my clients' reports are streamlined. I can quickly access the tool and get check aspects of all the campaigns I am running.

Also - I like following Raven for industry information. Their blog and Twitter feed contains helpful, insightful information that makes my job easier as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Sr. Director of Marketing"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Raven Tools?

The new reporting suite has really helped to up their game. Originally starting as a great combination of SEO tools, Raven has grown to be more powerful with the integration of additional analytics platforms and monitoring tools. The new dashboard and reporting features are great. It would be even better if they could integrated additional platforms such as Google+, Instagram, Pinterest, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Raven Tools?

The social monitoring suite has changed many times and is still not quite up to snuff requiring additional tools for the majority of our client to have full coverage. Raven has changed data partners many times which has caused problems that are outside of their control, but that is part of the issue with outsourcing data providers. The lack of support of other platforms also requires us to use other solutions in addition to Raven, but it is still a powerful tool. It does seem mostly focused towards people doing SEO work. I wish that the widgets in the dashboard could be resized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Raven Tools:

Evaluate all tools and reports to ensure you can get your clients the data you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Raven Tools solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has helped us to better communicate the value of our digital marketing efforts for our clients. It has helped our team to be more efficient in extracting data for analysis and also helped to make it easier to create reports to show to our clients to keep them in the loop in regard to how progress is being made across their digital properties.

"The best set of tools for SEO I have ever used!"

5/5

What do you like best about Raven Tools?

I honestly like how it is set up. How it looks and feels. Easy to navigate and easy to read. I can just click to the different projects I have on Basecamp and look for all the information I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Raven Tools?

I cannot think of a thing I do not like about these tools. Sometimes it takes longer for keywords to pop up, but other than that, I do not mind it at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Raven Tools:

Just get it and use it. The more you use it the better and easier it is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great All-Around Tool for Marketers!"

5/5

What do you like best about Raven Tools?

What I like best is the flexibility and super quick response time of the tech team. Where so many great tools fall flat is when you run into an issue or have a feature request. Raven's team is faster than any tech team I know at responding and addressing every single issue. Nothing has ever fallen through the cracks and it always gets resolved. And they are open to feature requests and implement new updates all the time, showing that they truly care about their customers! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Raven Tools?

If I could change anything about Raven it would be that it pulls in a little more of the detailed data from Google Analytics. I'd also like to see more integration with social media sites like Google+ and Pinterest. But with that said, this is still the most comprehensive tool I've found and meets most of my needs. It's hard to find something I don't like! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Raven Tools:

Don't be afraid to reach out and suggest features. Chances are, others are wishing for those same features. The more we collectively speak up and show the developers that there are common needs, the more they can understand what changes to make to keep this tool so useful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Raven Tools solving and how is that benefiting you?

Raven tools is a great tool set for managing various levels of research and results of that research for each client. As a digital marketing agency with many clients, this tool makes it very easy to organize work in one location for all team members to see. Link marketing projects don't get lost in multiple spreadsheets. Keyword lists can be easily managed, exported, and tweaked. The biggest benefit, however, is the reporting. After implementing Raven Tools into our process, it saved hours of productivity by allowing us to automate a lot of the reporting that was being done manually in spreadsheets. The new online dashboards are even better, and have received a huge amount of positive feedback from clients. We're able to continue providing work that produces results for our clients, and a reporting dashboard so everyone knows the current state of the program and the results we're getting.
