App Profile: SEO Edge

Rating: 4/5

Overall this app is able to give a good snapshot of your rankings. It is extremely helpful to have the historical data of each keyword position. There are a few things that would greatly improve this app: 1) the option to give each profile a custom name. I have up to 10 profiles per client and it would be nice to name them per campaign. 2) the ability to search for profiles. 3) more consistent results on initial refresh of keywords. When I refresh all the keywords in a profile, it is a common occurrence that when I click an individual keyword the ranking changes anywhere from +-3 all the way to +-40. Recently I've seen it change every time I click the keyword to refresh it. I know the rankings in the actual serps don't fluctuate that much every 3 seconds.

Hey, this worked great with the free version. I was currently working on my SEO and saw my rankings get higher. So I paid the $12 for more key words. Only problem that a captcha would pop up! Weird! I wasn’t browsing the internet. That was a huge flag. If you don’t know, there’s been news on how captcha windows can be phishing information and keystrokes from your computer or device. The developer is Chinese. Nothing against Chinese, I’m Asian myself. But any app looking from China is suspect. Not sure this can be trusted. I wouldn’t follow the captcha instructions, but I would increase my refresh delay in settings and close the app. I would have to open and close the app several times so the captcha would eventually go a way for a while. But it will always come back up. Some good things about this possible Trojan horse— it actually shows or SEO rankings live. I published a blog with high SEO and saw it go to number 1 in 2 days. I checked with Google it it’s somewhat actually accurate if you don’t count all the ads. There’s been times though that it will show N/A for a keyword, but then the next day my ranking will show up. Conclusion: use the free version or don’t use at all without risk. I didn’t see Captcha until I bought the pro version for $12. Possible Trojan horse phishing information for China.

This app used to be great. Up until about four months ago everything was working perfectly and I was tracking five of my websites keywords through the app. I’ve been a paying user of this app for at least six or seven years now. Up until about four months ago, the captcha stopped working properly. I would answer the question properly and then it would endlessly refresh to a new captcha. I sent an email to Support multiple times over the course of a month and I never heard any response or anything so I recently deactivated my account because it doesn’t look like the developer is actively updating it anymore.
