Response from Sidra Condron of SpyFu

Thank you for sharing your review of SpyFu! I'm happy to see that you find it easy to use and loaded with features. We do, in fact, offer nearly every feature in our free version. The difference is that we don't hide features, but we limit the results. Free users can see 5 results at a time. Premium users get every result on the page and can download every result, too. Plus, searches are unlimited.

"SpyFu: A Comprehensive and User-Friendly SEO and PPC Research Tool"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SpyFu?

I recently had the opportunity to use SpyFu for my search engine optimization (SEO) and pay-per-click (PPC) research and I was extremely impressed with the platform. SpyFu offers a wide range of features that allow me to easily research my competitors and make informed decisions about my own digital marketing strategy.

One of the things I appreciated most about SpyFu was the wealth of data it provided. The platform offers detailed information on my competitors' keywords, ad copy, and backlinks, which gave me valuable insights into their digital marketing strategy. Additionally, SpyFu's historical data feature allows me to see how my competitors' strategies have evolved over time, providing me with a deeper understanding of the market.

What do you dislike about SpyFu?

They provide limited information in free plans, especially in the ads data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Underrated tool for prospecting"
5/5
What do you like best about SpyFu?

I apparently use SpyFu a little bit differently from many others who've left reviews - I use it for prospecting.

I run a marketing agency, and cold outreach plays a role in getting new clients. I find SpyFu a great tool for building that list of prospects and ensuring that I only reach out to prospects who are already spending money. The reality is that most small business owners *aren't* spending any money on their marketing - those businesses will need two layers of selling: one to educate them on why they need to be marketing and the second to actually sell them your services. SpyFu lets me pinpoint the ones who're already spending money on paid traffic, so then all I need to do is enter that conversation already in their head with a compelling offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SpyFu?

It's pricey. And honestly, for the prospecting aspect, I only look at the PPC Research tools when building a list of prospects. That tells me not only the prospect's monthly ad spend, but also their keywords *and* others in the same space (their competitors) so my outreach can be highly personalized. Their competitors then also go on the prospecting list, because clearly those others are in the same niche and I can do similar campaign research about them.

Response from Sidra Condron of SpyFu

Prospecting is a solid and very smart use of the tool! Kudos for finding some creative ways to build more business. Thank you for sharing a 5-star review, Emma!

"The Secret Weapon for Successful Online Marketing"
5/5
What do you like best about SpyFu?

One thing that I really like about SpyFu is its ability to show me a detailed analysis of my competitor's SEO strategy. With this information, I can see which keywords they are targeting and where they are ranking, and accordingly I can plan my strategy. SpyFu's keyword research tools are also very useful. They provide accurate data on search volume and competition, which helps me identify the best keywords to target in my SEO and PPC campaigns. One more feature that I appreciate about SpyFu is regarding PPC is that it allows me to see which ads my competitors are running, and how much they are spending on each one. This information helps me create more effective ad campaigns and better allocate my advertising budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SpyFu?

One thing I dislike about SpyFu is that it can be overwhelming for beginners. The platform has many features and options, and it can take time to figure out which ones are useful for your business. But, despite of this, I love this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SpyFu?

Comprehensive without data overload

With the seo insights, i like how it gives you a monetary value to your organic rankings.

Historical data and missing keywords compared to competitors helps to fill in the gap as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SpyFu?

The prospecting tool is somewhat limited depending on the industry, but it does cover a range. A better tutorial would be better. Current videos seem to be a bit dated. Better reports that are generated can be improved upon as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Sidra Condron of SpyFu

"Superb Analysis of Competitior Websites"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SpyFu?

Spyfu offers so many golden nuggets of search data when researching competitors. I work purely within the SEO industry, so I use it just for this purpose. I found the keywords just ranked or keywords that just reached the top 10 sections particularly useful. This kind of data is invaluable when looking to match or beat competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SpyFu?

The inbound links data could be a bit more extensive however there are other tools on the market that delve deeper into this area so it's not really a problem as the value is in the ranking kw sections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SpyFu?

For now it serves all the purpose for my Keyword Research, the easy access and the copy-paste feature for keywords is just phenomenal. The only downside based on my experience is the bug in downloading the CSV or file on excel sheets. Sometimes it doesn't download, and it only keeps on loading.
