Botify - Top Tier SEO Tool
What do you like best about the product?
I lover the user experience and ease of the tool. I think the Keywords Explorer is the most helpful portion in creating a good strategy for your SEO efforts.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think i need to be trained more on the platform to fully understand how to use it to the best ability.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Finding the best keywords for each page, and also finding opportunities that we didn't think to research and implement throughout pages.
Upgraded from DeepCrawl and have been happy with the additional features
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to automatically ingest log files and Search Console data have been particularly helpful. Being able to define page type segments and create segments based on HTML snippets is another nice feature that has enabled more advanced analysis.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few occasions where I'd like to drill down or filter a certain report/graph and it's not possible but other than that, no deficiencies I can think of.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Botify to identify new SEO opportunities, ranging from site structure issues to on-page SEO issues to duplicate content concerns.
Finally! A platform that can answer the majority of our most pressing SEO questions!
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to see the crawl data compared to the logfile data on our larger portals has been very helpful. The depth and filtering options really let us dig deep into the data to get actionable insights.
What do you dislike about the product?
For the number of pages and sites we have in our portfolio, the price tag is a bit high so I was hesitant at first, but for the value, we are happy with our decision to go with Botify.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
How often is Google visiting our content and at what frequency? What pages are considered to have thin content? How many levels deep do users have to navigate to get to our best content? No matter how cleaned up we think our sites are, Botify helps us keep the health of our site strong.
Botify - A Must-Have for Enterprise SEO
What do you like best about the product?
When managing thousands of URLs, a tool like Botify is a necessity. Botify immediately helped to identify duplicate content, thin content, crawl issues and allowed me to see areas of my site that were not being crawled.
If you operate a large e-commerce site with multiple page types, Botify really is a must-have. Google Search Console can give you good data, but not enough to make actionable, data-driven decisions. Additionally, Botify has a very clean UI that I personally think is easier to navigate compared to other tools.

What do you dislike about the product?
Initially, the account support was not great. We signed a contract, set everything up to be crawled and then the support disappeared. I think they assume SEOs will just figure out the platform without any support. Our team began asking for dashboards and reports to help understand where we could find opportunities, then things eventually got better.
Now, I feel comfortable with the platform and support isn't really required. For new clients, I recommend they have at least a month of dedicated training to use the Botify platform.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We resolved duplicate content issues, we're working on thin content issues and I can now routinely see http response issues - 404 / 401 error pages, too many 301 redirects, etc.
I also discovered an issue with canonical tags I was not seeing through Google Search Console. It's a major technical issue we had on the site that was only discovered through the rendered HTML Botify was showing (not through the raw HTML).

Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a must-have tool for large websites, particularly e-commerce sites.
Awesome enterprise SEO tool!
What do you like best about the product?
At the scale we're operating at (12M+ pages), Botify is crucial to making sure we're maintaining SEO best practices, by simulating how a search engine crawler would view our site.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the interface can be a little clunky - Botify has a ton of features and data, but it's not super clear what a new user should pay attention to first.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Botify to ensure that our site is crawlable, both in terms of depth and breadth, and also to alert us of any technical issues that we might have missed.
More than just a crawler/log file analysis tool
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to drill into any/all data and combine datasets. Botify is the most flexible tool I've ever used when it comes to digging deep into your website's data. They collect damn-near everything you'd ever need and a seasoned SEO can find answers to almost anything.
The cherry on top is the built-in reports/dashboards--it gives me the ability to get C-level buy-in and then measure highly technical SEO projects that are traditionally extremely difficult to get resources allocated for, and even harder to show what progress was made once the Development pieces are complete.

What do you dislike about the product?
Setting up custom reports on your own is a bit cumbersome and has a steeper than desired learning curve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Duplicate content across product pages - Botify helps identify the biggest problem pages and then prioritize those pages based on metrics that typically had to be painstakingly paired with other data sources (think combining Copyscape data with Google Analytics data)
Crawl budget bleed - Our site has millions of pages, which eats through Google's allotted crawl budget fairly quickly. Worse still, the JS, APIs and third-party files on the site bog down Google's crawling and rendering to the point where some pages are not updated in Google's index for months on end. Botify shows us exactly what page types, pages, and files are eroding crawl budget and has allowed us to take action by either blocking via robots.txt, refactoring our JS, and moving away from client-side JS and APIs and to server-side rendering. We've seen a positive and immediate impact from these types of projects.
Site speed monitoring - We can measure our site speed improvements at the pagetype level over time.
Technical debugging - On multiple occasions, a web release has broken URL structure for crawlers. Without Botify reporting on log files, we would have been unaware of these issues and unable to pinpoint what caused a drop in rankings until many of the URLs make it into Google's index (and at that point you're already screwed)

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the log file analyzer and check the data weekly! It's 2019--a good log analyzer should be at the top of nearly every SEO's toolbox.
Excellent Tool - Web Analysis
What do you like best about the product?
I like the web log analyzer and just the amount of data it has
What do you dislike about the product?
lack of online resources, not a solid online training program - it's necessary since there is so much data (and value) in Botify.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
internal link issues, 404 errors, sitemap issues, crawl budget
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Educate yourself. Practice retrieving reports. Some reports can get lost over time.
Expensive SEO tool not worth the hype
What do you like best about the product?
Botify is advanced log analysis, advanced segmentation, content analysis. It allowed for a very in-depth look at your site, with the ability to compare changes over time..
What do you dislike about the product?
Botify is very expensive. The monthly fee was too high, even with the lowerst plan The software offers many of features, but does not document how to use them. You must rely on Botify customer support team, however good support is hard to come by. My account was assigned a customer service rep, which sounds good in theory, but they did not prove to be very helpful. Customer Service Rep was not knowledgeable about product or the services it offered.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Technical issues on the website.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look into other services there are many other out there with cheaper price points.
Provides all the log analysis and crawl functionality you need

Botify provides tons of filters and segments to analyze log files and go really deep on the data. It also have integrations with web analytics and search console to map search engine crawls against traffic data.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a bit bloated and overloaded with features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Understanding bot/search engine behavior on your site and mapping that to changes in traffic and organic rankings.
