I like that Squirrly SEO by AISQ is actually fairly in-depth, allowing you to do a lot with it. It's more in-depth than I fully understand, which shows its robust capabilities. I really like its AI integration, which has been around for quite some time. It helps keep track of keyword research and offers recommendations. I like those types of features, even though many tools offer similar capabilities these days. To my recollection, Squirrly SEO by AISQ was one of the first to integrate AI features more than others did.
Additionally, the LTD pricing would make it "worth it" they actually bothered to update the UI. Integrations need work, too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Yeah, the UI is terrible. It's really bad, not very intuitive and looks like it was made back in the early 2000s. The documentation or videos are pretty bad too. The owner doesn't want to listen to the community saying the UI is bad and needs a refresh. Every user I've spoken to agrees the UI is bad. Even influencers in the WordPress community have said the same. The response to the critique was not about improving it, just changing color, like that's not a UI improvement. The user experience and interface design leave a lot to be desired. For beginners, it’s not very inviting, and there's a learning curve that isn’t as easily navigable as with other tools. Setup was just okay, not particularly easy. It seems outdated; the plugin interface and video documentation haven't been updated in years. I'd rate it a four out of ten for ease of setup.
It doesn't work will with Bricks Builder, and the owner doesn't seem like he wants to do anything to fix it. It's been bad for ages.
Even the whitelabel feature, which could have actually been cool is inconsistent. In some places you'll see the whitelabel name you pick. In other instances of the name showing up, it'll say "Custom SEO" and yet in others it'll say Squirrly Newton v 14.55.432.41" ... C'mon. Be consistent. Nobody wants to see the entire version number.
Oh and don't get me started on the support - still waiting 4 days for support to even acknowledge my issues.
I'm not sure if what there is to "like" is outweighing all the things there are to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
