### "A great foundation for any SEO campaign" — 5.0/5

> **Christopher** | *12 March 2024* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love how simple SEO Spider is to use, its trickier to master but in terms of plugging in a URL and setting it off, its very simple and lets you know what issues to look out for on the chosen website.
> 
> **Cons**: As its local software, if crawling a big site you can run out of internal memory to store the data and your computer can get slow while crawling.
> 
> Overall SEO Spider is great value, and offers lots of insight as to technical issues to watch out for on your website. It even details why they are an issues and how to fix them.

### "A big leap of faith if paying" — 5.0/5

> **Elle** | *14 September 2022* | Design | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: There are so many features - most of which are available in the free version
> 
> **Cons**: As far as I could see - there was no way to only crawl the links I provide. I could also not locate a way to save the progress to check on another day, meaning I have to start from scratch every time. This, however, wouldn't be an issue in the paid version as far as I can see
> 
> Although it surpasses its competitors in terms of the amount of information displayed, I don0t like having to start from scratch, or for it to crawl what it shouldn't - which puts you over the 500 url limit... even on a small site.

### "Two Years of Screaming Frog SEO Spider for a FinTech Industry" — 5.0/5

> **Spriha** | *16 November 2023* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I enjoyed best about Screaming Frog SEO Spider was its function as a trustworthy tool in conducting SEO audits for our company's website. The tool's efficiency in identifying critical insights, addressing issues quickly, and producing actionable results in a timely manner was helpful. It was critical in improving our website's performance by revealing areas for development and ensuring that we stayed on top of SEO best practices.&#10;&#10;Moreover, it's much more budget-friendly compared to other SEO tools like SEMrush or Ahrefs. What's great is that it even provides a free version, albeit with limited features, making it ideal for getting acquainted with the tool without an initial financial commitment.
> 
> **Cons**: If I were to point out a drawback of Screaming Frog SEO Spider, it would be the user interface. The abundance of features and technical details might be a bit overwhelming initially. While it serves its purpose, it might not be as intuitive for someone who is new to SEO analysis tools. Enhancing the user interface could make the overall experience more user-friendly, especially for those who are just starting with the tool.
> 
> My overall experience with Screaming Frog SEO Spider has been really great. The application has become an essential element of my SEO toolset, providing great insights into the technical aspects of our website. Its ability to conduct extensive audits, identify flaws, and provide proactive advice has streamlined our SEO improvement process.&#10;&#10;One of the noteworthy advantages for me is the extensive data it provides, from examining metadata to finding broken links and difficulties with site structure. This degree of data has enabled our team to make informed judgments, resulting in considerable improvements in our website's search engine performance.&#10;&#10;While there is a learning curve, especially for novices, the tool's usefulness in giving real-time findings and assisting in strategic decision-making makes it well worth the effort. Screaming Frog SEO Spider has shown to be a trusted tool in keeping a healthy and optimized online presence for our company's website.

### "100 Sites Scraped - Fortune 500 Companies Supported" — 5.0/5

> **Ryan** | *13 November 2023* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We've used Screaming Frog as the core SaaS tool for staff training and SEO audits for over a decade. &#10;&#10;While other tools have invested in fancy dashboards and visual reporting - Screaming Frog has built a platform designed for power and detail. &#10;&#10;The ability to render JAVA, crawl subdomains, and identify a range of SEO issues is second to none.
> 
> **Cons**: For first time users, the program can feel intimidating. &#10;&#10;Learning to Export data and manage that data in Excel is essential to getting the most out of the software. &#10;&#10;For anyone working in Technical SEO that learning curve is a must, because the granularity and results are far greater than those offered by other platforms.
> 
> We've worked with the platform as a core part of our SEO and development offering for over ten years. &#10;&#10;It's essential to the industry and client success.
