What it does
cognitiveSEO combines a site crawler, content optimization, backlink analysis and rank tracking. Campaign and competitor reports bring those investigations together for SEO teams.
cognitiveSEO brings link analysis, technical crawling, content optimization and Google rank tracking into campaigns.
| Plan | Campaigns | Users | Content-audit credits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 5 | 2 | 150 |
| Premium | 10 | 5 | 500 |
| Elite | 25 | 10 | 1,000 |
Starter includes 1,500 tracked keywords. JavaScript crawling and white-label reports start on Premium, while API access is listed on Elite.
For a backlink investigation, the link reports classify referring pages and support competitor comparisons. Those classifications are useful leads to inspect, rather than a diagnosis of why a page changed position. The technical crawler and Content Assistant provide separate ways to investigate site and content issues.
The seven-day trial is for Starter. Create an account with an email and password, then validate a card or PayPal account. Cancel before the trial ends if you do not want paid access.
