Reliability, change tracking, accountability.
Reliability, change tracking, accountability.
Pros
Love ContentKing and the fact that I know it is always up to date. I don't have to schedule crawls or reports, I just log in and get the latest issues and action items and go on my way. With the record keeping/change tracking, it provides a level of clarity that others tools can not.
Cons
There isn't much to dislike about CK. I really haven't found anything that has been a hinderance to me.

Auditing pages & monitoring for seo impacting changes has never been easier

Our SEO team loves this tool. It is easy to use and works great with slack and our internal project management workflows. If you manage multiple sites and have critical ranking pages that need monitoring and on the fly auditing, get this tool on your toolkit.
Pros
Monitoring SEO impacting changes on real-time for all websites has never been easier. As an agency this has been an issue specially when you're managing over 50 clients - team implements a change, new site is launched, broken links go un-noticed unless re-audited. . Our SEO team benefits the most from getting real time notifications from broken links, H1 changes and so much more. SEO Managers are proactive and on-top of their game due to this tool.
The Auditing tool is easy for an entry-level SEO or web developer to understand and make sense out of data.
Cons
I think if there's anything, pricing model could be reworked. I would personally prefer to buy per pages monitored, than per site like keyword trackers do.

We are still benefitting from the ContentKing identifying SEO issues on our site that we need to fix.
Pros
SEO dashboard provides very actionable data. That enables us to quickly fix issues.
Cons
Sometimes it seems to take a little while for dashboard to update after changes have been made to the site.

With ContentKing I can easily resolve SEO issues and work together with clients.
Reviewed on 2018/05/07
Pros
This software provides quick access to important SEO data of a website, especially regarding on-page indexability issues. Its user experience is a major asset, as it allows you to work very easily with a client or a web agency. Finally, the historical change tracking information is very useful.
Cons
Some link overviews are not yet exportable in Excel format. But at the pace of how the software evolves, it won't be long!

This proactive monitoring tool gives me confidence about a good quality of our websites and saves me a lot of time.
Pros
This tool helps to improve the website SEO and finds issues before they become a problem. It monitors real time our complete website for changes that have a potential to hurt it SEO wise. Some of the errors Contentking found also affected the visitors of our website, so it also helped to give an improved visitor experience. Another pro is the great support team. So, a must have tool!
Cons
Honestly, no complaints. The support team cleared up any issues and listed new feature requests.

Such a nice way to learn the details of SEO!
Reviewed on 2021/05/03
Pros
The dashboard gives a lot of information about the correct use of SEO. Before I used ContentKing I knew what overall SEO was, but I didn't know all the details. ContentKing showed me how many different details play a role in SEO.
At the beginning my website scored a mere 700/1,000. Now it scores 986/1,000. My website is really SEO healthy. And that is reflected in the rankings. Great tool!
Cons
Sometimes the issues are a bit too technical to solve... I'm a copywriter [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN], not an IT-specialist. But the help desk is always friendly and helpful.

Clients make changes to their websites and don't understand the SEO and Commercial implications of their changes so having automated monitoring to flag changes to us charged with maximising their performance is key
Pros
A genuinely useful product for automated monitoring of client websites.
Cons
There are false positive alerts but these can be easily excluded. For example Shopify uses Lets Encrypt SSL Certificates which renew every 60 or 90 days. So each time the renewal is due ContentKing alerts that the cert has nearly expired. This is easily disabled in the admin

Gave me insights on sites in almost real times as well as a list of page changes that I made in a given month to make it easier to report back to clients.
Pros
+ The service. When I first started, the chat box actually had a human that was operating it and they didn't just point me to their not-so-helpful support page (like everyone else).
+ Seeing Updated Pages - As an agency I thought, ok so it crawls the pages more than once a month, big deal. Then I realized it gave me an opportunity to show clients changes by tracking those especially for moments when the CMS doesn't show the changes you made.
+ Pretty awesome they just integrated with GSC.
Cons
- It's not immediately easy to see what you could use it for if your not too technical. When I first started using it, I just thought, "what?" why would you need to crawl a site that often, then it dawned on me.
- It has the same issues that most of these tools have. There's no actionable intel that it gives you directly. You have to derive it for yourself.

Hi Joshua, thanks for your review!

Less time worrying about breaking something. Lots of useful insights for improvements. Plus their team constatly provides useful content which helps with working on projects.
Pros
Content king makes it nearly impossible to screw something up, pretty much everything is monitored and reported. Great way to stay in control of things and make sure that every action is beneficial to your website.
Cons
Luckily I didn't encounter any issues yet, os the only drawback I can think of is that live support is not 24/7, but that's totally a first world problem.

Best User-Friendly Real-Time Auditing Tool on the Market!
Reviewed on 2018/05/23
Pros
I think it's ability to detect technical issues promptly which can save you hours of time, trying to diagnose SEO problems. I also love the interface, it's a lot more user-friendly than a lot of the other SEO auditing tools on the market.
Cons
Pricing model - we love the software but would prefer it to be a monthly subscription so we have a clear indication of how much we can budget for this tool. Paying per website isn't the most feasible especially as we scale up and take on more and more clients.
Response from Conductor
Hi Charles, thank you for the kind words!
Regarding your feedback on the pricing model: check out our flexible Agency Plans which we created for use-cases such as yours. On the Agency Plans you don't pay per website but only for the total amount of pages you need, which you can distribute amongst your clients in any way you see fit.

Website SEO (and general health) monitoring made easy

Content King has made it possible for me to continuously keep a finger on the pulse of my client's websites. This is a big step up from intermittent diagnostic scans.
Pros
1) Website Overview: With Content King I can see the whole picture of a website: How the URLs are laid out, the health score of each page, and any problems/issues they may have (including broken links or pages that can't be indexed).
2) Track Changes: What truly sets Content King apart from any other scanning tool I've used is: Content King tracks changes. It's not a one-off scan, or merely a recurring scan. Content King keeps a running list of the changes for each page. If you're in the businesses of monitoring client websites and providing maintenance, this is a game changer.
Example: Content King notified me that several pages had gone "missing" on one of my client's sites. Turns out, they were consolidating several pages into one new page. However, they hadn't setup any 301 redirects to let Google know they weren't merely removed. Thanks to Content King, I was aware of the change and was able to advise my client accordingly.
3) Easy to Use: Content King has a wonderfully designed user interface. Feels fresh and new.
4) Website Migration: I haven't had the opportunity to use Content King to monitor the success of a website migration yet, but I'm looking forward to that.
5) Notifications and Reports: Content King notifies me of any major issues that pop up on a website, and they also send a weekly summary/graph so I can see an overview of what's going on with each of the websites I monitor.
6) Support: Very helpful and responsive support.
Cons
1) False Positives: Occasionally there are false positives where Content King reports a page as missing when the page is there. Luckily, when you view a page in Content King, it immediately re-scans/checks that URL, which can clear up any false positives right away.
2) Weekly Report Links: When reviewing the weekly report email, clicking the change in health and issues metrics goes to the website's dashboard rather than a view of specific changes that happened over the last week. I'd like to see that improved.
Response from Conductor
Hi Brandon, thanks so much for your review!
Regarding your suggestions for improvement: we've resolved the problem with the occasional false positive and are currently working on displaying changed issues straight from the email report. Thanks again for your feedback!

It really boils down to the fact that it automates a number of previously-manual, boring processes quite effectively. It greatly reduces the stress of managing a website when you know all of the technicalities are being monitored for issues 24/7.
Pros
+ Incredibly easy initial set up
+ "Set and forget"
+ Caught a number of site issues I quite honestly never would have diagnosed otherwise
+ Takes care of some of the most boring parts of my job
+ Pricing is better than that of other similar products
Cons
- Feature set could be built out a bit more - not worried here, as they release new features often and seem to have spot-on priorities.
- Mobile app could be cool, not entirely necessary though.

Great website quality management tool
Reviewed on 2022/09/06
Pros
Very good overview of the projects and active notification when acute errors occur. So I can focus on my main work and feel perfectly supported.
Easy to learn how to use it.
Cons
Some parameters are not possible to manage yourself, which are not correct from an SEO point of view. This results in many alerts that are somewhat stressful. The name is a bit confusing - because from my point of view it is more of a technical support than one from a content point of view.

It's a masterful tool for SEO cleanup. It guides the projects... The cost is low enough for us that we are able to keep it for internal issue research and alerts, and still maintain another app for the external, competitor & content based research and reporting.
Pros
Simple to integrate, quick, ample instruction on use, and it does a great job letting me know exactly what internal issues to work on, where to find the issues, and which pages are interrelated to those issues.
Cons
There may be some lists that are not downloadable, when I'm researching a deep dive into redirected links, for example. It's too manual to export lists to my team.

Content King gives a very clear insight of what's going on on my website at any time !
Reviewed on 2018/05/02
Pros
Its reports are very complete and you can customize them to better fit your needs by ignoring some issues (which are not truly important). Also, every time I had the slightest issue and I had contacted the customer support, there were very patient and nice to help me understand what was going on or how could I achieve what I wanted to do.
From a UX point of view, the interface is very user-friendly and nice to use. You have a general overview of your website's situation and then you can dig deeper into what matters to you.
What I also like is that they keep a history of what has happened on the pages so that you can go back in time and assess the improvements made on a specific page or understand when and why a page started to derail.
Cons
I don't feel really concerned by this section since the team was always willing to help me master Content King and was always very interested in having feedbacks to keep improving the software. Lately, for instance, they released a new function giving you the opportunity to connect your Content King account to your Search Console account to always have a better insight of what's going on with your website.

It was great! the support staff always answered questions promptly.
Reviewed on 2018/05/03
Pros
Having live updates is key here - often time SEO teams will only be crawling their sites once per month with tools like screaming frog (which is fine I guess) but where ContentKing really smashes it out of the park is with live updates. It automatically tells if something has gone wrong, and if you're doing crawls only on the last day of the month, you may not have noticed for weeks!
Cons
I think it could be priced a little lower for people who are using the smaller subscription limits. It may be hard for people with only 1 or 2 clients to see value in it vs. using cheaper tools.

Pros
The 24/7 online analysis feature is very useful! It saves a lot of time for me and colleagues, because it saves us from having to manually create certain types of analysis (e.g. broken links, duplicates, etc.).
This tool is very user-friendly too, so it can be used by junior SEO/content specialists as well. So I can manage all projects easily.
Cons
I would like to have information on each page if it's really been crawled and indexed. Currently, you can only find out if it's indexable. But from a good source I know ContenKing is working on this :)
