What does SheerSEO do?
- Rank tracking. SheerSEOās rank tracking function tracks all your keywords across major search engines and gives a detailed look at vital data for each keyword including visits, impressions, search volume, and the plus/minus change from the previous week. This component allows you to compare your success vs that of your competition, review historical data in graph form and export your data to either Excel spreadsheets or PDF files.
- Page optimisation. SheerSEOās page optimiser will give a grade to each page on your site. It doesnāt just tell you what is missing from each page that is not at the top of its game, but also how you should fix it, eg: āTitle doesnāt contain keyword. Add the keyword to title tag.ā
- Backlink management.This tool allows you to check not only your own backlinks, but those of your competitionās websites as well.You can sign up to get alerts sent to your email or phone anytime a link drops or is changed. You also have the ability to create new backlinks from web directories or bloggers.

Pros and cons
SheerSEO has a wide selection of offerings for individuals, businesses and agencies. However, even its own website admits that its pricing schedule is āfairly confusingā.
Pros:
- Features are explained fully with helpful screenshots of software in action.
- A demo is available on the website without having to sign up or download anything.
Cons:
- Price structure is confusing, particularly for agency plans where extra features are added without the overall price being reflected.
- The company only accepts payment by credit card and PayPal; debit cards and ETFs not accepted.
